Rope Dart / Meteor Hammer

I'm curious about flexible weapons. Can anyone recommend any material, books or videos, that covers the basics of how to work with rope darts or meteor hammers?

Agreed, even a tiny piece of string can slice you open, much less something with mass.
Along that line of thought, I advise against playing around with a 4 foot bullwhip when you're naked and aren't that good at it. Like before a shower when you have a big bathroom and a new whip.
