Nunchaku on video

[shotokan_girl22]

I am applying for Amazing Race Family and want to add like 15 sec or less of me doing some nunchaku for the video. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do? That part of the video would be like from the stomach up, so I was thinking of doing some manipulations, but not sure what would be good and aggressive to show on an application video! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Well, let's start with an easy question or two.

 

By your nickname, I assume you study Shotokan which as I understand it, does no formal weapons training as a part of their system normally(correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Do you have any formal training with the nunchauku? If so, how much training..or how long?

 

Answering these questions will help us to help you.

I train in Shotokan and we have no weapons, however, I've managed to pick up some nunchaku (not very well)

 

If you want to do a 15- sec vid, just whip it behind your back, then around your neck, then under your arm and catch it, then spin it over the back of your hand.

I have been using nunchaku for about two years now...and can do a lot of manipulation.

 

As for shotokan, yes that is the form I study. But my instructor also has added okinawan kobudo(weapon practice).
