ShotokanKid Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 How many have done that? I've whacked my funny bone doing nunchaku. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I've done it. (I still do it, but only very rarely) I learned with a pair of wooden nunchaku. Our instructor was a firm believer in the "school of hard knocks". Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koryu Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I have done the same thing several times, also with wooden octagon nunchaku. The nunchaku is a very deadly weapon... to the person who uses it... lol "On Ko Chi Shin" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davison Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've wacked myself a couple of times also. thats no fun when that happens! years after i had learned to use nunchaku, my friends and I were outside in my backyard and they were watching me doing some fast nunchaku stuff when the chucks slipped out of my hand and hit my friend right in the stomach from about ten feet away! luckily, he wasn't hurt. He never would come around me again if he saw that I was practicing nunchaku! Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotokanKid Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yup! "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

Taku-Shimazu Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I have done this many times, but not with Nunchaku, but Tonfa. And I have also been shot with a couple of 'dummy' arrows as well. OK that sounds a bit confusing, let me explain. I wanted to test my speed, well my uncle wanted to test my speed as he has high hopes for me in MA. So he constructed a bamboo bow complete with bamboo arrows, he used blunt bamboo arrows and the bow was quite weak so it didn't kill me. He stood about 4 meters away (Before you ask I was wearing safety goggles) And he fired at me and I had to block them with head blocks and knee blocks (Karate). The cool summer breeze passes me by.

So you were simply trying to block rather than get out of the way and block? Sounds awfully Darwinian to me.

ShotokanKid Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 That's really strange... you can't easily block a punch, it's better to dodge "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
