Ninjutsu weapons. Nunchaku

These sort of videos are used to track improvement in technique over time. Nunchakus are one of my weapons of choice. The sticks go pretty close to your limbs sometimes. So close that this day I destroyed my MP3! (it was on the side pocket) Nunchakus are said to travel at speeds around 120km/h easily. Mistakes are painful too, since they are usually made of wood or metal. The ones with the long chain between the sticks naturally travel further but are slower on the move, however, I find them better to get used to the circularity of the movements that you'll need with many other weapons, like the long bo. I think that if you get good with the heavy, long ones, the short ones will be easier to handle since your technique will be more refined...

nunchaku is not a ninja weapon ..

Wikipedia : "The most common martial arts to use nunchaku are the Chinese-Okinawan and Okinawan martial arts such as some forms of karate/kobudo but not in ninjutsu"

Sure, sure. I am sorry for you if your main source of information is Wikipedia. Get real before commenting man!

(however your skill at spinning pens is amazing. Really. Congratulations! I can't do that!)

Good job! You should put some exciting music on, it goanna look better. Your form is different from mine.

[niquel757]

Thanks for your comment. You are right, would look better with music, but to be honest, it is not a video to show off. It is to track progress, and primarily for me. I make it public because it is just easy to make it so. Maybe one day when I consider myself good enough -if that time ever comes- I'll make one with music and mixing all what I know there!

The okinawan style I am learning uses wooden shafts with octagonal cross-section, and the second group of basic moves includes a catch under the armpit, but I continually strike the inside of my elbow, and MAN does that hurt! It almost makes me gunshy if I wasn't so determined to get through it! Gambatte!

[niquel757]

Probably you need more circularity in the movement. I initiate all my sesions with very ample circular moves in all directions, going from slow motion to a faster pace. I fink that effective

Its called a Rice Flail. One stick was a little longer than the other though.

Lol what sort of farming activity do you use Nunchaku for? Hmmm... not convinced.

[Zulu9ner]

Nunchaku is not a NINJA weapons kos i also learning NInjutsu..but iT'S good to knows and practice others weapons.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

Nunchaku were a farm tool, when the Samurai invaded Okinawa martial arts or at least weapons were banned so folks adopted farm tools as weapons. Not saying Ninja never used them - I'm sure they used what they could as a tool or weapon but at it's not taught in the Bujinkan.Kobudo and forms of karate have adopted it.

nunchaku are not a ninja weapon theres not one example of nunchaku on the main islands of japan. sorry you need to do a bit more research, i bet you think it was a farmers tool still.

[wtfdogebay]

Keep it up, man! I've researched ninjutsu a bit, and did Shotokan karate for a while. Thinking of starting ninjutsu... but this video almost put me off; I'll never be able to do crazily awesome stuff like that!
