dtstiachi Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I hit myself in the head with a pair of octagonal wooden nunckaku with a chain in the middle. My head started bleeding, but I got it to stop and went on with life. My mother always told me I had a hard head "The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with but a single step."

koryu Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Come to think of it, I don't think there's a weapon yet that I haven't hit myself with at one time. Broke a toe with tonfa once going full force to spin downward and it slips from my hand. Been hit in the head a few times with a bo. The katana I'm really careful with and I can't think of any real injuries from it. Two person escrima drills tears up your fingers and knuckles. The nunchuku, of course, this weapon is just asking for problems. The sai, also with two person drills. The eku, haven't hit myself, but broke a mirror once (That's why the last seven years have been so rough, lol). Probably the worst one to catch yourself with is the kama... although the blades were guarded, it would've been very messy if they weren't. Thought I'd just some up a few of my disasters. I love kobudo!!! Everyone gets hit with weapons when you start. Learn from it and move on. Mastering a weapon is a great feeling of accomplishment.

Sparkey Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 At my school we never practice with foam Nunchaku. If we clonk ourselves on the head once or twice with the Nunchaku, we'll learn not to do THAT again, and pay attention to form. I learned this lesson myself very quickly from the first minute I picked up the nunchaku. I swung them back and clocked myself right behind the ear. OUCH!!! That one spot hurt for at least 2 weeks after that, but you know, I HAVEN"T done that again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honour is life Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 i would do that but im self teaching so i think my mum would get kinda annoyed at the bits of skin and bone lying round the place after a practicing session you may freely give up your life, but never lose your honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathal Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I've done it a few times; thankfully I use practice sets with neoprene instead of wood or steel. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battousai16 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 i've not only nailed myself about with the nunchaku a few times, but i've broken two over head lamps and put a hole in the wall. my parents don't let me train indoors anymore i've hurt myself with every weapon i've trained with, including the sword, for the first time a few weeks ago. an ultra stupid mistake of stabbing myself in the hand while resheathing. let that be a lesson not to let your technique get sloppy, folks.
