Whip Lesson Plan for Beginners 

The shapes he draws with the whip? The rhythm? The seemingly effortless presentation? AMAZING

I just realized how much I need a whip.

An American...(a Yank to us Aussies) who is a roll model for our boy (we live in the outback) ~ Sadly, at whip cracking events here, the participants mostly look like they're at a funeral...You have a 'showman's' presentation. Your editing in the videos is amazing and your information is invaluable. Thanks mate.

Making excellent progress; productivity has increased 200%!!! 👴🏻

7:54 that was a hardcore flex and I loved it very much. 😸

I’m here because I’m obsessed with wanting to be like simon Belmont...

I learned how to crack my whip after watching all your previous videos before you condensed them into this one. Its great to see you are still doing so well with your channel. Thank you for being a great teacher and performer.

Adam... you're too talented. 🤣 when I practice with my whip, I feel like a penitent monk taking out my sins through self flagellation...

I'm here because I want to prove to my friends that I'm not a bottom.

I hit myself in the back so I watched this. Instantly stopped whipping myself doing a basic crack. Thank you.

great, now I can silence my classmates when i'm explaining to the teacher

Made my first whip with ur vid... first cracks .. woahhh ...tx! The neighborhood see me differently now😂

Hey Adam. Great video. I'm 59 just took up the whip a few months ago. I've been using your whip lesson videos to learn. Your the only one to learn whip cracking on you tube. Thanks Alot for this video will be very helpful.

Great tutorial, Adam! It would be good for beginners to wear eye protection, and know that your suggestion to begin gently is sage advice. Some of the cracks shown here happen at closer range, and students would be well advised to understand that mistakes can make the energy of the whip come back close toward the user. For more thorough protection, beginners should avoid exposing bare skin and consider some form of head protection, especially around the ears and face. If the student has less worry about injury through good safety gear, they can learn and build confidence more quickly.

I just got an 8' bullwhip for Christmas! It's been a dream of mine since I saw "Return from Snowy River" as a kid. I'm also a horse trainer, so I'm definitely incorporating this into my program once I'm good enough. Good for desensitizing. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Your the best, came across you videos close to five years ago now. I was so blown away that I immediately made that whip you showed how to make in one of your videos and started cracking away lol thanks for another very insightful video :) I think I’m 💯 going to revisit the beginning stages and do this lesson step by step to better myself further. Your a true G.O.A.T with a whip 👍🏻 Looking forward to the next video :)

I just bought a whip from a friend’s Godson in Texas and came home to Chippewa Falls, Wi only to find out that the world champion is from my neck of the woods. I immensely enjoy whip cracking. Thank you, Adam for the tutorial videos. It really helps. I was cracking my whip to-day and already had improvement by implementing some of your suggestions.

G'day G'day from the north. After stumbling on a video from Nick's Whip Shop, on how to make a bullwhip, I figured I'd give it a try. Turned out ok. He repeatedly mentions your name as an inspiration and friend of his. He suggests on several different times, to check out your page for help on learning different cracks. He was right. Less than 48hrs after finishing up with making my first whip. I've watched a few of your videos, now am able to proficiently do 3/4 of the cracks you've mentioned. Just by repeatedly watching this video. In fact, at first, just trying to do the cattlemen's crack, and failing horribly. I watched 30 seconds of one of yours videos, when you mention NOT using to much wrist and more forearm. 1000% improvement. So, thank you so very much.

Dakitty Whips are top notch and are made by an artist who has a lineage in whips.

Thanks for uploading all these videos. I'm practicing a fire whip and all these cracks are so helpful

Bought my first whip right there at AZ Ren Fest. Thanks Adam learned a lot from you over the years.

I'm just here to live my Catwoman fantasy-

Thank you for the awesome teaching video about whip cracking , as a beginner, I find your video most helpful

I am getting acquainted with my custom whip you made for me. I’m beginning to get the hang of the cattleman’s crack, 7 of 10 times most of the time. Thanks for the education and the fun of learning something new and unique.

Thank u for vid Adam, greetings from Indonesia. There' s a dance in our local culture that also uses long whip, but with no variation. We just crack the whip for its sound. Your tutorial might inspire us to make many attractive moves like yours. Many thanks!

Adam does a wonderful job of creating this content and sharing it with people and I couldn't be more thankful for it. After watching MOST of these videos and also checking out some of the comments I think there is an important distinction to make. Adam feel free to make a video about this if you feel it is appropriate. Adam is a world renowned "sport cracking" whip master. Not only does he hold many world records and has performed for millions of people, but he is also a braider and a true authority on whips. For people who have come to these videos looking for help with "alternative lifestyle" whipping information just know that not all of this information can be directly applied. Sport cracking is so much fun. You can make volleys and arrangements and all these very poetic and acrobatic cracks! But, if you try doing that to, say, a "live target"? Well, nobody is going to be having much fun. It's also very important to learn and understand the different KINDS of whips, the anatomy's, uses, and lengths, to understand the difference between why a 5 or 6 foot stock whip can do all these really beautiful combinations, but your 4 foot mini bullwhip seems to struggle (especially when it and you are new to this). Again, Adam is a world renowned and very respected whip master. He doesn't OWE anybody this information but he shares it anyway, so please, don't view this as me making a demand or entitlement. Just understand that the more information and education you have, regardless of how you plan on using your whip, is the best course of action for your own safety and the safety of those around you. *WHIPS ARE DANGEROUS. DON'T BE STUPID WITH WHIPS*

Very nice! I've had a 6-foot paracord whip from Stockman's Supply for about 7 years and haven't practiced much at all. I loved watching this video, the trick tracks look really cool and your guidance is easy to understand. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is the best video I've found by far so far. The only thing I'm having a hard time with is tracking the end of the whip as it vanishes into the harsh white contrast of the sky. Thanks a lot for posting by the way

I see this guy every year at the ren fest. Absolute favorite act 🙌

I went from hoof cleaning to whip cracking. the RU-vid rabbit hole never ceases to amaze.

I watched one video and now I have three bullwhips. Looking to up my game with stock whips. Thanks for teaching me how to crack my first.

Great video! Thank you for demonstrating and explaining in flawless detail and performance :).

Love your enthusiasm! Ur good at what u do

Best whip lesson so far! Thank you!

This is the best instructional on RU-vid.

Great tutorial video. I will study it soon and practice al the tricks. Thanks Mr. Adam.

Wow, super helpful progression video! Also funny. Nice!

You're a class dude good on ya mate, thanks for the show...

I can’t wait to get my whip and start learning

In Central America, this was basically my childhood at school when I didn't behave. Albeit, sometimes the teacher would just use her ruler or bare hand, but the whip (belt) was heard snapping away from time to time. Good memories LOL.

The sound it’s crazy!!!! Nice video!!

Thanks Adam. Those are great cracks to master.

The right video just as I want to learn some cracks!! Thank you!

Awesome video Adam, thanks! I recently won a whip in a raffle at a horse event and had no idea how to get it cracking :)

Love watching your videos....just amazing.

I think this is the gut that plays at the Renaissance festival in magnolia here in texas

Nicely done, Adam!

This cracked me up.

I want one. I'm researching. Nice work Adam.

I signed up to RU-vid just to like this video, very cool video thanks a lot Adam

just saw a few of your videos love them

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks.

You should do a video exactly like this for 2 handed whip cracking!

Awesome instructions. Thank you.

1:49 u can see the sonic boom in one of the frames

Bought myself a bullwhip. Let the bleeding begin! I hope to one day resemble some of your cracks. Damn you are good.

I am new here, this is my favorite tutorial video great job

Even though you'll probably stay the master forever, I'll try to be as good as you are! Also I'm living for your version of we "will rock you"😂

Always watch your Videos. Your whip cracking gets my engines running wild

Very Nice!

Great video mate!

... after that last comment, I am odd to show my autistic child the fast and manly way of whipping! We're in Michigan, but our hearts are in Texas. I miss Houston. Interesting hobby, always been intrigued. Great job, brother.

Good stuff and some entertaining showmanship too!

Great video. Im still working on the 4 corners!

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing .

That is so cool. Love it.

I could watch this forever.

So I was just watching the show “How it’s Made” where I saw how they make these by hand. I am instantly obsessed with having one. I’m 55 years old and my brain is telling me to stop looking at your F-ing phone and do something that entails getting off the damn couch so here I am! hopefully I won’t lose an ear or worse! Lol! still looks way more gratifying than golf!!

Saw u yesterday at one of ur shows was very awesome!

Great video! Thank you !

You are amazing! I would really like to pick up the whip but I'm a girl and it seems to be popular with boys only haha but I think I might because I already really like knife throwing and bow and arrow!

Wow! Thanks from Texas.

thanks so much for this video. I'm really interested in the "arts" part of martial arts, & the whip has been what I've been learning lately bc of catwoman from batman. I actually got my whip from spirit halloween to crack with a caddleman's crack, so now I've a real whip coming in the mail to practice with. my first weapon was the tessenjutsu war fan, & what I really like about a fan or a whip is that they're about momentum & timing, so it's like a dance almost. thanks again

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Your great, master Winrich

Thank you I really appreciate your videos. So I can get better. Aloha.

It's amazing weapon. Also I noticed how you are standing it important too it seems.

This is a great video! :) One of the problems I'm having consistently is that I can do a fast figure 8 just fine right and left (right hand dominant) and I can do a volley with my right just fine - however volleys with my left always come around and hit me in the back.

Awesome man! Thank you!

Thank u so much for the information Adam

Where can I buy a Bullwhip? The links of the whip makers you provided only feature stock whips and typically 5’ and shorter. I’d like to get a 6’ bullwhip. Any recommendations?

Hi Adam I got a whip a while ago and I’m not very good but this I very helpful

Very sharp!

0:03, whip cracker is an excellent drag name.

I'm almost ready to go shopping at the Slave auction.

I need this for my workers. With love of course.

Waoh just realized wet towels and rags (yes i was in the army) taught me to use and master the reverse under hand flick. Once you get the flick, cracking becomes easy.

very informative video! i have a pretty good idea on how to successfully use one now! on my "cattle"

Hey Adam, do you plan to do a tutorial on making a performance hybrid whip? I would really love to build one myself!

I laughed at myself thinking how much effort I’ve given trying to get my whip to crack as I watch Adam say, “oh it’s easy when you realize this…” 😂

Great stuff. 😁 I'm learning on a small cow leather snake whip. Should the belly of the whip be aimed away from me to help with the whip movement? Or is that kind of thing important at all?

Nice, now i just need to find out which length of whip i should buy. Because i started with a 3,5m hungarian bullwhip, i don't know if i should buy such a short whip... Are there certain things I can't do with for example an eight foot whip?

Sounds like a tennis ball hitting things in a sports anime

You are Definitely one cool dude ,thank you tons

Thought this was a whip for scooters until I clicked still tho great vid

Any tips on the reverse cattle crack? I’m trying to learn an am stuck on this one. I have the first two down well but not the reverse. I’ve studied the video intensely but can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Could someone please help?

I love whip cracking love doing it but I'm not sure if it's me or where I'm buying them from, I'm from the UK and I usually buy the ones on ebay which have good quality and such, however sometimes when I buy a whip and ir arrives its all stiff and bent and such, how do I make them soft as in like how do I make them look like every other whip where it moves so smoothly and such

Looks like fun!

What would be thr best crack if I want to crack it behind me and also it needs to look cool...overhead crack ?? Is this the one I could use

I just started practicing with an 8ft yesterday and whipped the shit out of myself enough times that I decided to change it out for a 6fter lol
