RedLynx Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 Hi, I am wondering, any of you guys who own wooden chucks ever think, "Man, what if I hit them too hard against something and break them?" Well I do A LOT. So much so that I'm afraid to even practice with for fear of breaking or damaging them. I really need to conquer this fear. Can you guys give me some helpful insight? Or maybe a few techniques to use so that the chucks can withstand or "absorb" the blow? I just need to be able to say, "Hey, my chucks are strong enough to strike this an' take it..." -Lynx"A fool can put on wisdom, but his foolisness will show." -Kurt DoplerNunchaku Sticks (chain variety)
Phantasmatic Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 Well, i would just not hit them against anything stronger than the wood that the nunchaku are made out of. BTW even if you do break the nunchaku you can always get a second pair because regular old nunchaku run at about 7 American dollars.

Withers M.A.A. Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 Well if you're smashing things with them they will eventually break. That is the bottom line. If that is what you are doing then buy multiple pairs. Use one pair for practice only where you don't hit anything and the others to stike things. If you're stiking solid objects be prepared to block the chuck from hitting yourself when it bounces back.

Bitseach Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 My problem is slightly different in that I keep hitting the back of my head when I am trying to dampen the chucks with an under-armpit swing! DUH! Mercifully I am using foams so I haven't concussed myself too badly yet!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
