Rope Dart

"The rope dart or rope javelin (simplified Chinese: 绳镖; traditional Chinese: 繩鏢; pinyin: shéng biāo), also known as Jōhyō in Japanese, is one of the flexible weapons in Chinese martial arts. Other weapons in this family include the meteor hammer, flying claws, Fei Tou flying weight, and chain whip. Although the flexible weapons share similar movements, each weapon has its own specific techniques." - Wikipedia

Rope dart started as a martial arts like many other flow props. Flow artists have adapted and built rope dart props to accommodate more of a flow state. In this section I will go over rope darts I have personally flowed with. It is worth noting that there are many different kind of rope darts that may not be shown or mentioned.

LED Rope Dart

As a Twitch streamer it is important I keep my props indoor safe as well as props that appear well in a live streaming atmosphere.

My LED rope dart set (pictured in the middle) came with a practice ball, and a fire dart. I have NOT used my dart in the aspect of fire and I will have a separate area to discuss that.

LED - FIRE (wick) - Practice

[FlowOnFire ] specializes in a lot of poi and fire flow. Their quality is amazing, and my Rope Dart is over a year old now.

Smoke Dart

Smoke dart was another way for me to bring flow outside, and make it have more "wow" factor without doing fire.

I purchased mine from [Dark Monk]. I would NOT recommend this being your first dart. The pipe you put the smoke bomb into is a VERY hard metal. As someone who has hit themselves often with her LED ball please be careful.

Additional Information

Silk Darts

Traditional Rope dart in the form of flow is done with a silk dark. This did not fit my personal needs as a Twitch Streamer, but I wanted to make sure this was known. There are many different forms and variations especially with fire wick set ups for Rope Darts.

Where to Learn

[Flow Mayhem]

Flow Mayhem has been my go too. I was actually inspired to do rope dart after finding her on Instagram and YouTube with her fire flow. She's incredibly talented, and her YouTube videos are super comprehensive to learn from.

[Rope Dart Academy] also offers online course though I have yet had time to take classes with them yet.
