The Long-Pole Dragon Bone Kirin — A Whip You Hold With Both Hands
This is the Long-Pole Dragon Bone Kirin Whip — the heaviest, longest, and most physically demanding chain whip we make. The classic Dragon Bone chain you already know, mounted on a 1.2-meter (3.94 ft) detachable hardwood pole, finished with a steel ring at the top and steel screw connectors at the joint.
The pole is not a handle. It is the second hand. Where a regular chain whip lives in the wrist, the long-pole lives in the shoulders, the core, and both arms. Two-handed control turns the chain whip into something different: a weapon you do not just swing — you commit to.
Total assembled length: up to 17.7 ft (5.4 m). Total weight: up to 6.7 lb (3.04 kg). When the chain finally lashes out at the end of that arc, the crack reaches you a full second before the chain stops moving.
◆ THE 1.2-METER POLE ◆
Solid hardwood, steel-threaded, fully detachable for travel
CHOOSE YOUR WOOD
Wenge or Red Pear
Wenge — dense African hardwood, deep coffee-brown grain, the heavier
and harder of the two. Red Pear — warm cinnamon-red Chinese hardwood,
lighter in hand, traditional choice. Both finished by hand and capped with polished
steel ferrules.
DETACHABLE BY DESIGN
Steel-threaded mid-joint
The pole splits cleanly at the center via a polished steel screw connector.
Each half is roughly 60 cm — short enough to fit in a checked bag, a car trunk, or the
included canvas tote. Tightens by hand. No tools required.
THE CHAIN · DRAGON BONE
The Same Chain. More of It.
The chain is the same Dragon Bone link that anchors our flagship Dragon Bone Kirin Whip — hand-forged 304 stainless steel, alternating round links with the bone-shaped reinforcing links that give the chain its name. Tempered, polished, and hand-assembled in our Dengfeng workshop.
What changes on the long-pole is not the chain's kind — it is the chain's length and mass. Our long-pole versions carry between 2.3 m and 2.5 m (7.5–8.2 ft) of chain, weighing 2.7 to 4.4 lb (1.22–2.0 kg) on its own. That mass is what gives the long-pole its signature deep, rolling boom — a sound closer to a drum than to a snap.
10-STAGE PROGRESSIVE TAPER
POLE END (heaviest)
TIP END (finest)
Ten progressive stages — heaviest at the pole for momentum, finest at the tip for crack velocity

THE ART OF TWO HANDS
A Different Beast Entirely
Handling a whip with both hands is extremely challenging. But that very difficulty is what makes it a deeply valuable martial training tool. Through the precision of controlling a high-difficulty weapon with both hands, coordination, focus, and practical martial ability are significantly enhanced.
The long-pole transforms the chain whip into a full-body practice. The pole hand drives direction; the chain hand reads the chain's momentum. Stop the pole and the chain keeps going. Move the pole and the chain answers a half-second later. Every strike becomes a conversation between two hands and one weapon.
This is why long-pole training is a respected tradition in Chinese martial arts — and why it is a tradition we recommend you enter slowly, with full protective gear, in an open space, and never alone.
Two-Handed Power
A whip you hold with both hands — full-body engagement, deeper crack, completely different rhythm from any wrist-driven whip.
Detachable 1.2 m Pole
Wenge or Red Pear hardwood, steel-threaded mid-joint. Splits in half for travel and storage. Tightens by hand.
1,700 Years of Tradition
Hand-forged in Dengfeng, the home of Shaolin. The long-pole chain whip is among the most physically demanding weapons in Chinese martial arts.

WEIGHT GUIDE
Three Weights, One Discipline
FIRST POLE
5.0 lb
2.27 kg · 16.08 ft total
The natural starting weight for two-handed training. Heavy enough to teach you
the rhythm of the long-pole; light enough that an hour of practice will not
wreck your shoulders.
FORM & FLOW
5.6 lb
2.54 kg · 17.06 ft total
The middle weight. Where most serious long-pole practitioners settle in. Enough mass
for a proper rolling crack, controlled enough for full routines.
FULL POWER
6.7 lb
3.04 kg · 17.72 ft total
The heaviest version we make. Built for conditioning, power training, and the
deepest possible crack. Treat this one with respect — it is not a weight you
casually pick up.
⚔ A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
"The long-pole is the version of the Kirin Whip I trained on the longest. It is the version that taught me what a chain whip actually is — not a wrist toy, but a full-body weapon. The pole is heavy on purpose. The chain is long on purpose. You learn faster than you would believe, because the long-pole punishes you immediately when your stance is wrong."
"Train with the gloves. Train in open space. Start with the 5.0 lb. And when you feel the chain answer your pole — that is the moment you have understood what we make here."
