There is not really a lot to them. Experiment, twirl and catch them. Watch a Bruce Lee film lol.

Yeah, i had a clip from one of Bruce Lees films, and he repeditivly whacked at his chest, it looked painful. I have it on my computer somewhere and now that i know his name, again, i can watch it again, thanks!

Trust me, it will take years and years of practice to be as good and as fast as Bruce Lee. Like Grant said, watch "Enter The Dragon." It's a really good movie.

i had a clip from one of Bruce Lee's films

Ummm... yeah, im pretty good with my nunchucks, i can spin them for ages, and do an over shoulder pass, and catch it under my shoulder, an under shoulder pass, and a few other things. I dont think i really need to know many other moves or catches, but i obviously cant overuse them, or they will get boring.
I spent 1 and a half hours yesterday playing with weaponry (my whip, my staff, my nunchucks, my plastic sword that i like to cut lemons with) and it was really fun, and it hurt the muscles in my arms so much. It was hard this morning when i went to karate and had to do stuff, i was like, ow...

Other than spinning do you how to actually fight with them?

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 3:57 pm

U just basically repeditively whack at them, or u strange them with the chain.

lol there is more to it than that!

Not really... and how would u know u asked me...? From the movies iv seen with people using nunchucks all they do is strangle them and hit them in the face with one of the open nunchuck handles. I have only like seen 2 movies with them in it though... but hey.

I was asking you if you could fight with them. Having studied Kobudo, I can tell you there is more to them than what films show you. Their techniques mirror your Karate moves. Many blocks, strikes and grapples.

Watch "Sidekick" it has some cool nunchuck moves and it shows a person learing on them. (Lots of painful crotch hits.)

Lol... is sidekick a martial arts flick, or an action? I just wanna know where to look in my video store.

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 8:18 am

a Chuck Norris feel good flick

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 10:09 am

uh yeah...

So what is it? a martial arts one?

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 10:26 am

American Ninja lol

Many blocks, strikes and grapples.

Like what...? Give me information people!!!
There is so little information on the internet.

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 8:46 am

lol Rhys, what style of Karate do you do? It would take too long to explain. Basically the nunchaku, like many Japanese weapons, mirror the same actions as fighting empty hand. Eg lower block, raising block, forward punch, knife hand etc etc

just like film making rhys, you want all the info in one paragraph..it doesn't work like that mate

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:31 am

Well im sorry for that. I was actually a little more annoying, and wanted pics.. but hey, any one know of any good sites?
I do seido Karate.

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:01 am

Ask your teacher about them. Or do a search on a weapons legend called Fumio Demura, or the word KOBUDO
