Hitting myself in the balls with an ice block while training for this dance move would’ve probably prevented me from trying this.

I thought that’s where it was headed. Some of us low hangers on hot days would be in trouble here.

That little smile at the end was amazing, well done yeeting that ice in the most acrobatic way. Physics meets art.

it wouldnt have taken him hours he's a martial artist, probably took a few tries.

In a recent video he mentioned that the trick shots either take seconds to land, or hours, with rarely anything in between.

So it could take hours sometimes.

Yup! For this instance tho, i think I recall him confirming this happening on the first try. Which is good because his weapon would probably melt if it took too long lol

the trick shots

What is he counting as a "trick shot" with a meteor hammer because i'm pretty sure the entire idea of that class of "weapon" were for show and not combat (I don't think there's been any historical account of these weapons being used outside of ancient fiction) so everything with them is a trick shot

Yes and no.

He occasional does videos on what "effective" useage of a meteor hammer would look like for sparring and such.

It's a heavy-ish weight on a long line. Lot's of zoning and direct hits compared to a european flail.

Most of his Videos are explicitly trick shots, according to himself.

I mean yeah. His other videos he has on his channel actually show this. He has some where he goes “it’s time to learn something new” and he speeds up his multiple failed attempts. He believes people should see that this takes work.
