In-Out Out-In was cute. Hadn't come across it. Didn't think to do it. Won't use it for my stuff [I hope, because I don't want to use other people's stuff], but you do it nifty. Looks smart.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Everyone's talking about different size for different use but I've always heard you choose based on your size. From elbow to wrist. I have a 9" metal. Pretty new to wing tsun. Been working on perfecting my sil lim tao up till now and really like the idea of the ring cause I can't afford a dummy. I'm also learning hung gar. Does anyone know if the ring is used at all in that system and if so is it different techniques? I used to be a shotokan guy but since my knee injury I'm finding Chinese styles very fluid and healing. Happy training everyone. Amituofo!
Empty Hand Great questions. The size of the ring first depends on what combat system you plan using then secondly what types of things do you want to use the ring for. That will determine the size of the ring. For most WC practitioners who keep their hands closely gated and typically use the ring for technique flow the smaller ring makes sense. It will teach you to keep both hands alive and it will strengthen your shoulders. However, if you use a Mook Jung for conditioning your bridge and toughening the forearms a smaller ring can be too restricting; so a slightly bigger ring with more surface area will give you the ability to do technique flow and allow you to hit the inside of the ring like a Mook Jung. Medium size rings between 12”-14” are more multipurpose and you will get more out them. Rings that are very small or very large have more specific purposes and can be difficult to use effectively.
+eman When you say smaller do you mean smaller than a 12" ring? Larger rings are better for conditioning and working bigger movements. Larger rings are easier to manipulate due to their weight. Smaller 12" rings are good for technique training and can also be used for conditioning but it's more difficult.
David Welther The ring I have is 8in. I can't really move my hands around too much it is constricting. I feel I have to move my hands really fast to go from inside out or outside in and I only have a small space to work with. Should I keep trying to master it or get a larger one?
+eman An 8" ring will not work well for the type of training I'm offering in this video. You will be much happier and get better results with a larger ring. You can go through all the transitions with a 12" -14" ring. I've got some nice custom 12" rings for sale at www.hurricanefist.com. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help.
I don't wouldn't mind having larger rings I can get one if it is price well. But any suggestions as to what I can do with such a small ring in the mean time? Thank you.
+eman In my second video on the Rattan ring I go through some dills with an 8" ring. I use it to work close combat and tight circle techniques. It really helps with keeping the hands balanced and free from trapping. Kinda hard to describe the drill over message. However, if you work with the ring long enough you will find new ways it can enhance your training.
I just bought a ring at a local shop, and I'm looking forward to your video. The first three have been put to good use. Thanks David!
LOVE Rattan Ring

Is it harder with smaller ring? I just got one today, would it be better to start with a larger ring for a beginner?

Whatsize diameter is that ring? I have about an 8 inch ring.
That ring is 15". The diameter of the ring determines its use. I prefer mid sized rings as you use them for flow and for iron bridge conditioning.
David Welther ...thanks.
Whats that TUNE you're smashing man its bloody dark!
