Feathers of Doom Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 when your using sectioned weapons do you prefer chain or string to form the links? i have heard people argue about this and i have no preference. just wondering what the majority of people prefer and why. When practicing Nunchaku, it is best not to stand under lights....seriously; I have broken more lights that way.
AikiGuy Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Haven't used a sectioned staff yet, but I would like to. I have used nunchaku extensively and my preference depends on whether I am doing a demonstration (in class or tourney) or fighting (real or practice). I prefer the traditional rope type of cord for class and demos. It moves more smoothly and it's quieter. For a more realistic combat situation, I would rather have a heavy chain. Mostly because it is harder to break or cut. Especially if I have to fight a bladed weapon, one hard swipe could destroy my weapon. Paranoia is not a fault. It is clarity of the world around us.
AikiGuy Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Hey, a fellow Goshin guy. Glad to see we're still around throughout the country. If you ever make it to Ohio, we can do some training. I'm sure our curriculum is very similar. Paranoia is not a fault. It is clarity of the world around us.
Feathers of Doom Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 ironicly i was just in ohio last month When practicing Nunchaku, it is best not to stand under lights....seriously; I have broken more lights that way.
Tkd_MMA Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 for practise and for sparring i prefer chain over all. exspecially with a sectioned staff.
Justin Treadaway Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I am not a fan of the linked weapons. Because, when you hit something with them there is a split second when you are not in control of the weapon. And a lot of bad things can happen when your not in control for instance it hitting you in the head or wrist etc etc.
Tkd_MMA Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I started out with that problem but for some reason i don't hit myself when ever i make contact with somethen.

SnakeStrike77 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I prefer chain on my chucks, and I am experiments with a 3 section staff that is chain. This may be weird but I like the sound of the chain..lol. Blue Belt/Stripe in Shaolin Ch'uan Fa5 AnimalsJu-Jitsu "Be Hard as Earth, Fight like Fire, Move like the Wind, and Flow like Water"
Rateh Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I use chain. One of the parents of a student shortened them for me, took out two links so it's the right size for my hand (I have small hands). I don't know how one would shorten a cord without just cutting it and tying it back together, and then wouldn't that effect the performance of the nunchuku?
