parkerlineage Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I dont see how you can hit your head or your groinUsually with great force, and enough to make you say bad words, at least in your head, if you can think clearly.At least, for me.

kikr Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Of course it can. Anything that opens your mind to a new experience (without chemicals) allows you to think clearer, faster, and with more insight into your enviroment. Keep it up.

armanox Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It'll improve your dexterity, but not your (DnD moment) Wisdom or Intelligence and could lower your Charisma "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shui Tora Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I s'pose that when practicing with Nunchaku, you are using both sides of your brain because you are using both sides of your body.Don't forget that the more you practice, then that faster your reflexed become, as well as your mental capacity....Either that, or you get hit on the head often than more and it helps you!

Jiffy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I would say it's just a side affect. By finding something you enjoy, you will be happier. Being happier makes it easier to concentrate and therefore to do better. Keep it up. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

"Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well I've used nunchaku for a while, and it's definately helped to improve my dexterity, but I wouldn't say it did wonders to my intelligence. Could help your concentration... because anyone who has had a go with nunchaku knows that if you don't concentrate... you can very easily get hurt! So using the nunchaku can put you in the right mind set to learn. The best armour is to keep out of range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
