少林功夫包含拳术、兵器，根据少林寺的记载，兵器包含长兵器、短兵器、软兵器等其他兵器。流星锤就是一种软兵器，主要是一个金属小锤，系在绳索上，通过身体的转动产生的惯性，出其不意地攻击。

Shaolin Kungfu includes the use of fists and weapons. According to Shaolin records, it has both long and short weapons. The meteor hammer is a soft weapon, a metalhead tied to a rope that can strike by surprise due to swinging.

陈同川，今年54岁，是登封市武术学校的校长。他练武有四十多年了，平时最擅长的、练的最多的就是流星锤。

Chen Tongchuan, 54, is the headmaster of the Dengfeng Wushu School in central China's Henan Province. He has been practicing Wushu for more than 40 years. The meteor hammer is his best practice.

流星锤是一个软兵器，也是一种暗器，便于隐藏和携带。通过抡、缠等方式使锤头产生惯性，通过手脚肘等部位击发，以达到出其不意的效果。流星锤速度快、隐蔽性强，能够大幅度延伸攻击范围，在攻击完成以后还能收回再次进行攻击。

The meteor hammer is a soft weapon and also a hidden weapon. It is easy to hide and carry. Inertia can be generated from swinging and wrapping the rope. The surprise effect comes from the strength of the hands, feet, and elbows. It is fast and stealthy, greatly extending the attacking range. The next attack is ready at the withdrawal of the previous one.

刚开始练的时候，陈同川曾因为动作不熟练伤到自己。在挥动铁锤的时候，一不小心直接拐回来就打到自己的脸部，还缝了几针。后来用沙包代替铁锤练习，可以减少伤害性。

You may get hurt before you get familiar with the weapon. Chen Tongchuan once hit his face with a hammer and had to get stitches in hospital. Then he used a sandbag to replace the hammer for practice, which is less dangerous.

练流星锤没有捷径，练得多，功夫就出来了。他靠着自己的毅力和对流星锤的热爱，不断地练习。基础动作练好了，才会形成一个完整的套路。功夫就是多练、久练、常练，功夫不会掺假。

There's no shortcut to practicing the hammer. Practice makes perfect. It's all about persistence and passion. You can have a routine after mastering the basic skills.

暗器练习的核心就是准确度，流星锤也不例外。基本动作熟练之后，就要针对性地练习准确度。

Accuracy is the core of hidden weapons, and so it is for the meteor hammer. When you are good at the basic skills, you need to focus more on the practice of accuracy.

陈同川通过在前方放置一个物体来联系精准打击。刚开始练习的时候，她脚踢得不够准确，有时高有时低。基础动作熟练了以后，就需要选最顺手的绳索和适合自己的锤，并了解绳索与锤的关系。在制作流星锤的过程中，也能很好地去了解它，信任它，驾驭它。

When Chen first started, his movements were not accurate enough, so he put an object in front of him to increase accuracy. After mastering the basic skills, it's time to go deeper. You need a rope and hammer that fits you the best. Also, you have to understand the connection between these two objects.

陈同川从小就开始练武，最熟悉的也是武术。当上校长之后，他就从自己最擅长的武术着手，来引导教育学生。

Chen Tongchuan has been practicing Wushu since he was young. He wanted to guide his students with the essence of Wushu when he became the headmaster.

学生们都正在叛逆期。如果用强制的方法去管教他们，反而效果不好，就需要多去引导他们。“这些孩子们都是在全国各地，甚至几千里地跑到这里，家长交给你了，那你的责任是很大的。”

His students are in a period of youth rebellion. If you try to control them by force, it will not work well, so you need to guide them. "These kids are from various places in the country, thousands of kilometers away from home. Their parents trust me, so I have the responsibility of taking good care of them," said Chen.

练流星锤，要遵循它的规律，如果违反规律，它就会缠到自己、砸到自己，你就练不好它。“你们作为一个学生，在生活中，在人生中如果不遵守纪律。人生就会走偏，搞得一团乱麻。”

There are rules to practice the meteor hammer. If you violate the rules, you may get entangled and hurt. "As a student, if you don't follow the rules, your life might go astray and become a mess," he said.

在陈同川看来，作为一个校长，最大的责任就是把这些孩子们都能教好，让他们成人。他要管理、教育学生慢慢地改正这些小毛病。

Chen wants to manage and educate students to correct their behaviors. As a headmaster, he believes that his greatest responsibility is to teach the children well and help them adapt to society.
