I laughed when I saw this because I have personal experience with bullwhips! When my dad was in the military he was staioned in Spain for awhile. When he came home he brought my 8-year-old brother back a genuine 6' Spanish leather bullwhip! Of course, he then had to learn ALL about using the whip. He leaned from a martial arts guy in our area who he took karate from briefly. People who know how to use whips are few and far between. Here are a couple useful websites though:

And a useful book about that Indiana Jones stuff:
