Whip Basics - A Beginners Guide

The tutorial DVD “Whip Basics - A Beginners Guide“ was made for everyone that is interested in cracking but have never wielded a whip, or that had bad experiences because there was no tutor around to prevent them from terribly whacking their fingers - or worse... Whip Basics illustrates the basic techniques of whip cracking step by step. It explains five techniques and their execution, as well as pointing out potential sources of error. At the end it shows three combinations of two and one of four techniques in one go. Whip Basics was made for beginners, but the advanced whip wielder will find some new ways and ideas how to teach.

Whip Basics Volume II focus on new techniques: fast & slow figure eight, coachman’s crack, a variation of the forward crack, an arrangement of 10 cracks in a continuous sequence and target work.

In Volume III we will come full circle: a new 13 crack sequence to combine with the routine from Vol. II into a large, a complex routine of 23 cracks in a row, how to turn within routines, and focussing on how to wrap something - or somebody.

The tutorial DVD “Whip Basics A Beginners Guide“ is only available with an English audio.

Please mind the safety advice on the DVD at all times.

Whips are not toys and should be treated with utter respect. Therefore beginners should guard their eyes and wear sturdy clothes! You don’t need a fireman’s helmet or a knight’s armour... But solid shoes, a jacket with long sleeves, trousers made out of solid frabrics and safety glasses.

If you have any questions, please email us: contact@Whip-Basics.com

We will help you as best we can.
