I have been self teaching myself to use nunchaku for about a year now. My freestyle form mimics an Okinawan kata (doesn't follow it verbatim). I want to explore actual prepared styles of using my weapon. I like Bruce Lee's use of them and I like the impressive twirling-based Filipino styles. But to me, Okinawan seems more practical and less flashy for combat. All of those twirls are reduced to basics spins and passes to change strike positions. Am I right or is there more to this Escrima style?
Take a good look at his technique, then compare it with Bruce Lee's in Enter the Dragon and Return of the Dragon. Bruce Lee didn't use the Okinawan methodology, but rather the Filipino "Tabak-Toyok" that was taught to him by Dan Inosanto. Interesting point of note, I think...:)
that was the sickest use of nunchuks or "tabak-toyok" I have ever seen in my life.

he's actually using the okinawan nunchucks, not the filipino tabak-toyok. dan inosanto used one in game of death.

tabak i think is a tagalog word... and toyok is a bisaya word which may mean rotate or can rotate.

So is Filipino "Tabak-Toyok" more of the close grip stuff?
Does it also do the long power grip swings?
He is as good as the free stylers!!
