There we go! Holding the nunchaku near the chain/rope allows for CONTROL which was always the Key for me and for Beginners. Especially for most people on the web that jus do spins and stuff. Try hitting an object using a spin and I bet u the majority of you will fail and drop. I can catch it because ithe nunchaku's center of gravity is nearest to my hand (Cheating u can say lol). As for the geezer that did an evaluation on my 1st message. THANX for the constructive comments lol! 1st of all, Install Flash 7 to view my movie clip tutorials (or jus wait a little longer if u got slow internet connection) Umm about the holding the nunchaku at the tail or the head. OK! I dunno the majority of views here but jus striking ok so it ain't as powerful as a pulled back one. However, wen I execute a strike, it would only be when I have generated a powerful momentum beforehand. The nunchaku would literally be directed towards the target by touching my tricep and the energy is tremendous enough for me anyways. Whatever Sorry if I stepped on anybody's tail, me jus joined ;P Also, the Nunchaku Inferno Photo with me holding the nunchaku up high is obviously not my fighting stance lol. It's jus for my website! SAFE PPL! (I like dis forum, people answer so quick)
