Back Pass - Wushu Rope Dart

This video shows how to do a back pass with a wushu rope dart. The back pass ( in chinese: shen hou bian, lit: behind the back rope / whip ) is a basic rope dart drill where you shoot the dart straight back and pull it forward behind the back. To do so you have to raise your right hand over head, so that the rope doesn't wind around your trunk. It's not really difficult, just watch the video. Before you learn this skill, learn the straight rope dart shot.

Double Back Whip - Shuang Bei Bian

This video shows how to do a double back whip ( shuang bai bian ) to the left side. This technique is used to turn around. At the beginning you do big front swings and after turning around you are doing a big back swings. Doing disparate front and back circles instead of the big double whip chain circles makes the intersections a bit easier. When you turn to the left, the right whip chain goes under your shoulder and the left one passes on the left side of the left arm. Make sure you don't let the left whip circle on the left side more than once ( your chains would hit each other ). Before you try this you should learn the back whip ( bei bian ) with one whip chain. Practice both, left and right side of this technique. This video only shows the left side.

This video shows how to attach the flags to your whip chain. You need flags ( plastic is better than silk ), sticky tape and of course a whip chain. Silk flags look good, but most people use crumpable plastic flags, becasue they clatter loud and make it easier to control the whip ( slows it down ). Buy the sticky tape in a drugstore.

The flag should be square size of the last 2 sections of your whip.

Attach the front flag with 4 pieces of sticky tape to the last 2 sections of your whip. Each piece of tape should be finger length.

Attach the 2nd flag to the handle.
For most techniques the second flag doesn't matter, but originally the whip chain has 2 flags and there are a handful traditional techniques where you release the handle for a moment.
