I just got some hard wood corded nunchucks, pair of tonfas (needs modification to the tsukagashira), Rattan Escrima (or Jo to the Japanese), and 6 ft Rattan Bo (Shorter then me)

I'm familiar with using Bo and Nunchucks from sessions of self-training over the years, but what's a good starting point for practicing Kobudo?

@Luneys74012 First step: always call them "nunchaku" - anything else is disrespectful. Next is to find a sensei - when you practice by yourself, you can't see all the mistakes you are making.

this guy is very good at explaining lots of teacher good at fighting but bad at explaining to other people

[hempev]

@smile221 I think Shihan is probably also good at fighting, but he never has to - maybe it's his ki...?

[smile221]

@hempev I meant he is good at fighting AND good at explaining, while lots of teachers just fight with their students and expect them to learn naturally from that because they already know how

[hempev]

@smile221 I wouldn't know how he is at fighting, I just wouldn't "go there"!

@jinasura1 That is true of every weapon used in kobudo.

@hempev My apologies for the misspelling.
