DLopez Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I don't know if anyone else has done this, but last night in my weapons class, we were learning some basic Jool Bong (nunchaku in Japanese) techniques. I'm just starting with the jool bong, so it's ok to laugh if this sounds familiar to some of you more experienced jool bong/nunchaku practitioners! I was practicing a very basic move of a behind the back transfer from one hand to the other when WHAM-O!! The end of the jool bong hit me right square in the "funny bone" nerve! Instantly, my hand went numb for about 10 seconds, and then when feeling did start coming back, my hand felt like it was on fire! That lasted only for a few minutes, but my arm felt "tingly" the rest of the night. I was afraid I really hurt my arm, but this morning it felt much better and is just sore like a bruise where I hit it. Dang, that hurt!

tommarker Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 to quote my instructor... "yeah... don't do that." I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

DLopez Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 I'm beginning to think I should wear my sparring gear while I train with the Jool Bong... The next class, I was swinging the jool bong down under my armpit on my free hand side, and catching the jool bong with my free hand as it swings up and over my shoulder, doing that from side to side when, SMACK!!! Yep, right in the back of my head!! For a second, I thought I was in Hollywood, because I was seeing stars everywhere! Holy Moly, right now I'm more dangerous to myself than anyone else with these things! DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

TangSooGuy Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Aww...that's nothing...I stuck the tip of a sword in my leg once... Actually saw another guy put a sword completely through his leg doing the same form... he pulled it back out and finished the form, bleeding all over the place...
sAtelitte Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 TangSooGuy, you train with real weapons?? i mean we train with shaolin sword (dao) but they're not sharp at all for a good reason. btw DLopez wouldn't it be smarter to buy a padded nunchaku (don't know the exact word for it) instead of wearing sparring gear https://www.shaolin.be
DLopez Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 btw DLopez wouldn't it be smarter to buy a padded nunchaku (don't know the exact word for it) instead of wearing sparring gear Probably. Then again, all these hits might force me to learn faster... assuming I don't knock my own block off first. As far as the swords go, ya, its best to train with a 'training' sword, but eventually you have to learn to peform your forms with a live blade.

Draven Chen Zhen Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I train in my rooms with my nunchakus and almost hit everything in the room, there are even a few dents in my pc-monitor. Not to mention the numerious holes in the walls. :: Bless me father, for I have just killed quite a few men ::https://www.tricking.be
