kyokushin_coe Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 My second time using nunchucks in class was a very painful one.Sensie Danny Deason who i beleieve is exellent with this weapon was going over the very basics with us .I thought doing the figure 8 with the nunchucks was going fine so i tried to speed it up a little.Low and behold i hit myself in the family jewels with them.Boy that HURT.has anyone else ever hurt themselves while weapon training brown belt kyokushinkia
Scotty Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I've done the exact same thing with the exact same weapon! All I can say is don't bother with speed until you have a few different techniques dialled. Because as you practise more, you get a 'feel' for the nunchucks, and you get an idea of how they react to your movements. The best armour is to keep out of range.
Brandon Fisher Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I have hit my elbows with the nunchaku and tonfa hit my knees with the nunchaku, I have cut my finger slightly with a kama and cut 2 gis in 13 years with a kama. Thats all I have done. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
bushido_man96 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 The problem I had with the chucks is that I would hit myself in the back of the head, and then, for some reason, the chucks would just throw themselves toward the floor, in a very violent manner. Don't know why...... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
alsey Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 yeah, done the same thing with nunchucks. whacked myself in the kidneys a few times as well with them. i once hit myself in the knee so hard with a staff that i fell to the floor; that was probably my worst weapons mishap. "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

IcemanSK Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 The back of the head & the groin are the regular "self-inflicted" targets for a lot of folks. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything. Kevin "Superkick" McClinton
Scotty Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 not to mention knees and shins... ouchy! The best armour is to keep out of range.
pineapple Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I beat myself up learning the nunchuckus. I guess that is why they make foam ones to learn with. What works works
