HOW TO GET STARTED WITH WHIPS?
Stuff growing in the garden and tin cans seem to be ideal volunteers for target practice. You'll need to be surprisingly fit and I've learned that you can expect to receive the 'occasional' lick while you learn to crack the Whip - it doesn't hurt at all, you'll just laugh and carry on. Not.
Anthony de Longis is offering group or private tuition. (I think you have to go tto California)..Ca

REVIEW
The Art of the Bullwhip-:
You get get to see David Morgan being very knowledgeable and watch out for Vince Bruce who is amazing. This tape is an informative all rounder. A no-frills production that's a bit of a who's who in the Whip world. For a first tape I should have gone for something that gives more instruction, although I did learn that all Whip artists smoke.
Whipcracking made easy-:
If you can already crack the Whip, this tape is pretty dull. A short tape that uses several clips from the Art of the Bullwhip. The names of the cracks differ from what Bullwhips FAQ tell us. Alex Green shows you how an amateur can show-off big time by stringing a load of different cracks together. This tape might help me sort my dodgy sidearm crack, which could be an opposite horizontal crack. It's hard to know.
Whipcracking made easy Part 2:-
I don't think the Whipcracking is actually made easy, but you know what to do if you're going to improve your cracking. It's much more of a training video than 'entertainment'. Techniques and props dedicated to improving your target work are shown. OK
Mastering the Bullwhip Volume 1:-
There's no cowboy hat or spurs. It's has a classroom feel and the teacher wears spectacles. Mr DeLongis is articulate, the pace is right and the teaching style is just fine for me. I'm learning a lot here - it's serious tuition. No cowboy rough-stuff. This guy knows the Bullwhips and how to teach. It says "running time 57 min" on the label. Time well spent. I 'm ready to watch this again.
Mastering the Bullwhip Volume 2 :-
This is exactly what you would expect. A bit of revision and some flash stuff. Not entertaining. Teacher just shows you what you need to know. "Running time 46 min" it says.
The Ways of Whips :-
Review by Adam ( since I haven't seen it) who says, "Truly the best instructional video for anyone wanting information on how to crack a Stockwhip. He [Whip Man - Peter Jack] even wrote and played the background music (it's pretty good). Check-out how the Whipman "picks" apples!! It's stripped down, get to the point, no fluff, whip crackin', eye poppin', instruction!! Definitely worth checking out!"
John Brady :-
Review by David who says, "Simply amazing. John does every single and double-handed multiple cracking trick imaginable with extreme speed. Interview segments by Mark Allen. See multiple cracking sequences like the Arrowhead, Queensland Flash, and Sidney Flash. Beginning whip artists will probably be hard pressed to glean much from this, but seasoned whip artists ought to be able to pick up some things from him."
Whip cracking with the Masters :-
Review by David who says, " I was disappointed in this whip video. I was expecting some new tricks from De Longis, but it's basically just pieces of his videos, Mastering the Bullwhip Vol.1 & 2. Colin's stockwhip work is o.k., but nothing spectacular. You would do yourself better with Anthony's work in his other two videos."
