Sash Whip
December 13, 2009
Our sash whips are uniquely designed to offer close quarter grappling to mid range whipping capability. The design allows for nine segment lash technique while offering extra fabric for even longer range striking. By altering the length during sash play, the sash can grow or shorten according to your immediate needs. Our sash whips are 6.5 feet long (2 meters) and 3.5 inches wide (9 centimeters) with a pocket at each end designed to hold a steel meditation ball for self defense purposes or softer weights for training.
This sash can be controlled with one hand as a whip or with two hands to assist grappling techniques. Due to the nature of soft weaponry, the sash can wrap limbs and aid in off-balancing techniques and deceptive striking. And because the sash’s length can be adjusted, many long range rope dart twining and shooting techniques can be applied with ease. Controlling the whip with two hands allows for wrapping, trapping, throwing, blinding, and binding techniques as well as deceptive striking if weights are added to both ends of the sash.
