Sounds like a perfect example of high consequence flow arts. Like juggling, poi or hooping with very sharp teeth. During my time studying martial arts in China, I fondly recall a fellow student attempting to learn the meteor hammer -- essentially a metal ball on a length of string/chain/rope.
Much appreciated for writing about your experience. Those kinds of weapons seemed so daunting to me to even begin considering actually learning ha!
Fascinating Leslie. The life parallels you've highlighted resonate, but I feel like I'd hurt myself quicker with that thing in my hands than I would my real life. : )
..."the only thing we can do in chaos is remain balanced, untangled, and resilient amidst the unpredictability."......what a rad way to slow down...great read!
Leslie, one day, you will teach me how to use the kyoketsu shoge. So glad you included that video because I was like okay, I need to see this in action ASAP to understand it.
