1 Take the whip correctly. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart and firmly grasp the handle of the whip with your strong hand, the one with which you write. Hold the whip the way you squeeze another person's hand in a firm, businesslike handshake.

Always practice whip flicking outside where there are no people, animals, or any obstruction.

2 Take the whip and take the starting position. The whip itself should be unraveled, unfolded, and preferably lying directly behind you, perpendicular to your hips. It doesn't need to be perfectly flat, but make sure it doesn't hit your legs or hips when you swing it for a click.

Always start from this position with the whip at the back and side of you at a safe distance.

3 Practice swinging the whip smoothly up into the air. All other whips are based on a basic forward flick of the whip. Firmly holding your strong one or the one with which you write the whip with your hand, swing it up for 12 hours as if you were pointing your hand to the sky. When swinging your hand, lock your elbow and extend your arm. To flick the whip, bend your arm slightly at the elbow and sharply lower your arm down in front of you. In this case, keep the whip at a sufficient distance from you.

Train to gently lift the whip up and let the weight of your hand do the rest of the work. The movement should not be jerky or brisk, it should be the natural upward movement of your hand.

4 Make a loop with the whip.“The reason the whip clicks is that one part of the whip flies in one direction in a straight line, and the other end of the whip flies in the opposite direction. This is called a loop. most likely, somewhere near the ground, it will begin to move upward.When you jerk the handle down, the end of the whip flies up into its place and “clicks”, because you abruptly change the direction of flight.

To make a good whip flick, it is important to make a loop. With the loop, you know the whip was in the correct starting position.

5 Swing in a straight line. It is important to remember that if there is no movement in a straight line, there will be no whip click. It doesn't matter if you swing your hand vertically or horizontally, for the whip to click loudly, you need both the whip and the hand to fly in one straight line.

If you are having trouble flicking the whip, make sure you raise the whip high enough initially.

1 Flick the whip over your head. While flicking in front of you is similar to Chinese taiji gymnastics, flicking overhead is more like a baseball pitch. Put your non-supporting leg slightly forward and instead of swinging the whip up, take your shoulder back and swing the whip directly over the shoulder in the same motion as if you were serving the ball.
- For such a click, the start position is slightly different. The whip should lie not behind, but in front of you.
2 Try side flick. This movement is similar to when you throw stones through the water with a toad. Initially, the whip should lie behind you, and the palm of the hand with which you are holding the whip should be turned away from the body. Thus, your whip flies horizontally.
- This click can be used in combination with others. With the whip upward, take a step to become level and swing the whip back over the shoulder to snap again. It sounds and looks more complicated than it really is. If you try this flick, be careful not to swing the whip back across your face.
3 Try a cab-style click. This type of click can be used to steer horses from a cart and is usually a combination of front and top clicking. Start the click as you do with the top click, raise your hand up, but keep your hand not perfectly extended, but slightly bent. Bend your wrist back and align it 12 o'clock so that the whip flies forward and away from you, not forward and downward.
