I recently bought a pair of nunchaku and started teaching myself some moves. I thought I was getting pretty good until I visited this forum and realized that my technique had suffered from practicing instead of improved. So I ordered a video of okinawan nunchaku techniques, however it emphasized holding the nunchaku close to the chain/rope area. From what i've read here that is only for freestyle!?! The video however was very practical and included blocks, trapping, a traditional kata, self defense techniques, and things like that. So now I'm confused. Is it acceptable either way or what?
