Jeet Kune Do Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Good luck you have choosen my favorite weapon.My favorite weapon too, Learn to hit without being hit, or practice with foam Nunchaku A drop of sweat spent in practice is a drop of blood saved in a battle.A person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.
battousai16 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 don't bother with foam, you'll just have to relearn everything when you start using wood and have to get used to the new weight, which is nowhere near the weight of the foam. and y'know, i've never hit myself in the groin, and i was practicing today, and i just don't really see how you do that. you'd really have to be messing it up pretty bad... you're far more apt to nail yourself in that painful bit on the elbow or the back of the head then the groin.

Zaine Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Actually it is smart to start with foam. It gives you a base idea on how a nunchaku moves with out the pain of when you screw up badly. The move to the wood, you dont really have to relearn it, it is just different with the weight, I had no problem when I started using real nunchaku from the padded.

battousai16 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 that may be. i personally had a lot of problems and wish i'd started with wood. i didn't even think the wood ones moved like the foam ones, because follow through and the like was so off. maybe it's just me.

Sleepy_r0b Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 yeah i tried a foam pair and it was really different to my wodden pair also wood gives you more of an incentive to get it right. lol Shigata ga nai
Jeet Kune Do Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Yes, "If you want to learn to swim, then you must jump into the water" A drop of sweat spent in practice is a drop of blood saved in a battle.A person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.
Brandon Fisher Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I agree start with wood nunchaku. I personally do not allow my students to learn with foam. I have seen people get careless and then make the switch and really get hurt. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
