Kick past-moderator Offline Posts: 4451 Finland	Re: Monkeys Fist Reply #15 - Aug 2^nd, 2018 at 2:48pm I've been playing around with the monkey fist now almost every day and I love it. The girlfriend loves it... less. Mostly because I keep swinging it around and practicing rope dart techniques in the kitchen... Currently haven't broken anything though so that's good

LOL. I cannot be responsible for any romantic or anti-romantic consequences that may result from using a monkey’s fist in the kitchen Grin

I have found there’s just enough slack to launch the ball off an elbow or knee, but it may be a bit on the short side for some rope dart moves. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

For what it’s worth, my wife says she agrees with your girlfriend Tongue

One of the best free resources I’ve found is Phil Elmore’s book on practical nunchaku. The nunchucks motions are very similar to what you need to do with the monkeys fist, and it’s a pretty entertaining read:

I recently received a request for a custom monkey fist lanyard. The steel ball bearings come in packs of 10, so I made a few extras. If anyone else is interested in trading for a genuine NOOC monkey fist Grin

, just let me know. I can even do custom colors.
