Sensei Marvin Gatling, Inventor of "Marvin's Toy" - The Precursor to The RipStick

Sensei Marvin Gatling was an Army Green from Harlem who served two tours in Vietnam. He later developed his own training apparatus for isometric strength training - he called it the Toy”.
What was reffered to as "Marvin's Toy" or the "Toyka" was then recreated and made famous worldwide through social media by Shuaib Islaam, who is the Leader, CEO, and Owner of Team RipRight and RipRight LLC.
Since then, the RipStick has received hundreds of millions, if not billions of impressions across numerous social media platforms, with countless viral videos showcasing its universal challenge and utility regardless of fitness level, age, or strength.
If you think you're too strong for this modest looking "toy"... just add more bands and I guarantee you will be humbled by the deceivingly challenging RipStick.
