tommarker Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Does anyone practice sanbon nunchaku? I'm curious to learn more about its usage. From what I would guess, I imagine that it is mainly used to wrap, block and snare the opponent in the same way a three section staff might be. It appears that it can also be quickly extended for a long rang strike, and given enough time, can produce a lot of force behind swinging strikes. Wrapping it around the body seems like it might be possible, but not as quick as nunchaku, or as fluid as a rope dart/chain whip. Holding the middle stick looks like it could be used for some nunchaku techniques, but I bet the meat of the material is performed holding the end sticks in forward grip. The reverse grip that you would do with a longer 3 section staff seems plausible, but not as practical. Comments? I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

Shorinryu Sensei Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I've never had the opportunity to see, let alone use those tommarker. I'm sure they have a different type of movement and application, but ho, I don't know. Sorry. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once.
