Basic Nunchuck Techniques : Nunchuck Basics: Changing Hands in Motion

[DerStadtschutz]

Wouldn't it make more sense to hold the nunchaku near the bottom of the stick as opposed to close to the chain? If you're using them as an actual weapon, choking up reduces striking range and power, and the asians make nunchaku with ridges for gripping near the bottom of the stick.

Also, hard wood like oak is best for nunchaku according to some asian guy on here who actually looks like he knows what he's doing/talking about. Yours look like they're made of pine.

@DerStadtschutz no, really! You have better control on the nunchuck when holding it near the chain. Have you ever played tennis, or did a swing with a racket? If you did , maybe you know it is held on the bottom to make a >loose< and longer swing. When you hold it near the middle it doesnt allow you to swing, right? But the nunchuck chain does it, and there's a better motion control since it's tighter to move it. :D

Your comment was more stupid than this video

[IRuNNiinTinGZ]

Can someone please guess what length Nunchaku he is using. I am lookin to buy them off a friend or from my Karate instructor and i want to make mirroring his tutorials as good as possible. I assume he is using 8" or 12" but im not too sure, Thanks alot people

[DarkDragon187II]

sorry dude, but traditional nunchaku kata REQUIRES you to catch towards the end of the nunchaku. Telling people that doing that is wrong makes you look really really stupid.

You my friend have no knowledge, and have no respect

[dkingmomo]

i noticed that ur nun-chuck link is short. mine is very long. i hit myself many times already. i think im gona cut it short.. but how? its metal. hmmm...

[skullkor]

use a saw

[gamrage]

@dkingmomo Yes, those are more practical and are technically meant for combat.. the length of the chain increases momentum along with the weight of the nunchuck, this guy discourages hitting yourself, but personally I think the best way to learn is doing otherwise..
