tommarker Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 There is no such thing as a nuncuk or a nunchuk. Maybe you should start here: http://members.tripod.com/~Nunchaku/about_e.htm I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Any nunchuk forms out there on the net? First of all..if you have 6 years of TKD and are a 1st Degree Black Belt and Jr. Olympian and Team USA Qualifier (whatever that is), then I think it's high time you learned to spell the name of the weapon PROPERLY!!! It's spelled NUNCHAKU, not nunchuk...not numchucks..or any other form. As a tournament weapons center (head) judge for the past 20 years or so, when a competitor comes up to me and tells me he's going to do a "numchuk" kata..he has just made the decision to not get any higher than an 8 out of a possible 10 score from me because he doesn't even know the name of his weapon. As for a website on kata for the NUNCHAKU..I don't know of any, and you've managed to add more reinforcement to my perceptions that certain systems, and instructors, have no business teaching kobudo/weapons to certain people. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
tommarker Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 SS, Are you familiar with Sakagami's book on nunchaku and sai? Would you happen to know the name of the kata he demonstrates? (Trying to salvage the thread for some reason.) I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

(Trying to salvage the thread for some reason.) My apolgies to all on my sort of flying off the handle in my previous post, but I've seen so many people misspell or misspeak nunchaku over the years, and it's one of my pet peeves. ESPECIALLY from blackbelts! As to your question Tom on those books..no, I haven't seen them. I tend to shy away from most books about technique because they aren't relavent generally, to what I practice. Not to say they are bad..just not what I do.[/b] My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
tommarker Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 It's a pet peeve of mine too... I just approached from more a wise-* angle It's not too bad a book, actually... Just way out of print. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
SaiFightsMS Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 All right guys watch the language. After I clean this thread up.
Drunken Monkey Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 sorry... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Toast Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 sorry for spelling it wrong, I was debating how to spell it...and being a black belt, doesnt make u an expert.... But sorry for the late reply, the auto mailer got messed up and stopped mailing me... <Victory Martial Arts>15 yrs old; 6 yrs in TKD1st Degree Black BeltJr. Olympian | Team USA Qualifier"Train Like A Champion, Fight Like A Warrior"
