nunchaku styles?

Recommended Posts

Philippines has hundreds of different languages such as Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano, Bicol, Visayan, and dialects but you forget that Philippines had used to been a Spanish colony for 300 centuries. So many (two-thirds) of the words in our Philippine languages were borrowed straight from Spanish language.

The name Eskrima is the Filipino spelling which comes from the Spanish word esgrima, "fencing". Arnis is derived from the phrase arnés de mano, Spanish for "harness of the hand".

Is there A style of nunchaku ????

i know for instance that there are nunchaku competitions that include forms and combat and there is a school around here that teaches nunchaku independently

Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike

For those of you not familiar with the history of the Philippines, it was an American colony from the very tail end of the 1800s until 1946 (or so...I'm too lazy to look it up).

As a note, there was a long process towards its independence under American colonial rule as part of American policy which was underway even before WWII occurred...it wasn't just part of the Post-WWII decolonization deal.

Most people from the Philippines speak rather highly of the American colonization (it's the Spanish they hated...).

And as for Goju_boi's question, that is a fairly common and unfortunate misconception. Answered in a longer entry in this thread by me:

Short answer: Karate has a long history of incorporating weapons training.

I'm a 8th kyu,and I do know that Karate doesn't use weapons.It's just that you said that shorin ryu uses weapons,and that is a karate style.At my dojo Karate is separate from weapons.The weapons there are taught in the Kobudo class.
