i thought that the people shown were very impressive but i personaly dont see the point in this, in this video i saw almost no striking at all, so while very entertaining this isnt martial arts moves this was just showing off, people seem to forget that this is a weapon so with out showing striking it is not martial arts only show. Yet i do greatly respect the talent of these people. Just my personal point of veiw.

@shinobiwarrior1990 There are two ways to approach nunchaku, for violence or for fun, as a weapon or as a toy. Freestyle Nunchaku is generally just the trickery side of things, though some do mix both sides of the art in their performances. This is about creativity, not practical violent application.

who cares what you think?

it takes a lot of practice to master freestyle techniques and that earns respect!

@FreestyleNunchakuNet this is a great video! The soundtrack is from the game series commandos right? btw respect!

@shinobiwarrior1990 Yes, attack not in the form of self-defence, but out of rage or assautling them (e.g. to steal their money).

[shinobiwarrior1990]

@AlexLococo yes i agree there is more way than one to disrespect a weapon. i dont think using it as an acrobatic tool is disrespectfull i just think using it in this way without incorperating any strikes is disrespectful. i dont understand how attacking somone with a weapon is disrespectful, after all that is what they are made for. unless the other person dosnt know you are going to attack them.

@shinobiwarrior1990 I believe there are more ways to be disrispectful to the weapon than using it as an acrobatic tool, even if you're using it as a weapon. Of course it's strange, but you can attack/assault someone with it, which I find disrispectful to any martial art and/or weapon.

[shinobiwarrior1990]

@AlexLococo im not denying that it could in fact still be used as a flail for farming. im simply stateing that it is no longer used for this purpose. im not denying that it has many uses im only saying that it is above all a martial arts weapon. i just think if your going to use it as an acrobatic sport you should at least incorperate a few strikes since it is in fact a weapon. i just believe you should give respect where its due and to not use strikes is disrespectful to the weapon.

[AlexLococo]

@shinobiwarrior1990 again, that is is not used as a weapon no more, it is still the same design of being a flail as it was hundreds of years ago, so whether you like it or not, it still can be used as a farming tool. Now, as you can see, being a weapon is not the only usage of this tool, but also as an acrobatic sport.

I could agree with you completely if they stated they where "masters" of the nunchaku, as if it was some sort of martial art or fighting style, but they aren't (thankfully).

[shinobiwarrior1990]

@AlexLococo this is not the past this is the present, it is now a weapon not a tool. and technicaly if you want me to side with your comments then using the nunchaku for showing off would be completely pointless. i pray to the gods that one day you shall find the wisdom to lead you from your misguided judgement of this topic.

[AlexLococo]

@shinobiwarrior1990 It is not only until recent times, therefore the mystique of being a weapon is invalid since history never treated it as such: it's been a tool much more time than it has been a weapon.

[shinobiwarrior1990]

@AlexLococo i know the history. i have studied in the art of genbukan ninpo and have learned this from my teacher. ur argument is invalid because these objects are no longer tools. they are all now considered to be martial arts weopons. the nunchaku were also used by firemen to warn of fires and a similar object was used in europe by the people who would go around to collect the dead. since it is now a weapon and not a tool it should be treated as such.
