Hey, here is 2 videos of me using Nunchaku. They are pretty old and I'm 10x better now, I'm also self taught.

I'd also like to ask were abouts do you hold your Nunchaku? I've been holding them fairly close to the top.

I think it can perhaps change depending on the intended technique/target. However I usually hold mine just above the mid-point rather than closer to the top.

I can't actually see the videos because my WMV is geeked...

However, I can tell you that I see a lot of people holding the nunchaku up toward the top (ie close to the string/chain. This seems fine, and does make the use MUCH faster because the wieght is counter-balanced by the length of shaft coming out by the base of your hand and the overall weight you are spinning is much lighter. However, this can be bad for many of the same reasons. First, this grip shortens the effective range of the weapon. Second, there is not nearly the amount of weight in the strikes nor is there as much leverage. And, third...well, it's sorta like holding a katana like a baseball bat- you know the user is self taught or knows very little of actual kabudo training. At least, that is what I have heard in my own VERY little kabudo training...

Thanks for the feedback.

If your 10x better than you were then, i would probably give up if i met you in a dark alley. i wouldnt want to meet you in a light alley, nietha. Alleys are scary.

awsome video!

For me, I usually always hold mine at the top. It makes the Nunchaku faster and easier to control for me. Plus, release techniques are almost impossible inless you hold the nunchaku at the top.

Hah, Just watched them again, I look to be going so slow, I might upload some new ones soon.
