Nunchaku!!!


NUNCHUK

Recommended Posts

Y'know what guys?

 

You just can't win with nunchaku, even though they're my favorite weapons.

 

If you make em out of wod, they culd crack, splinter or worse--break. If you make em out of metal, they can dent. You just can't win!

well I suppose that could be said about all the weapons? There is no "perfect" weapon.

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

Jeff Speakman is the perfect weapon! Whaaaa!!! Chuks, like any weapon will wear with time and certain usage, all that you can do is make them out of the best materials and techniques possible. Then their life will be longer, and the amount of abuse they can take will increase. :karate:

Understand this, a man without honor, is not a man at all, but a coward in disquise.

Well, yeah, if you're gonna hit stuff with it...

 

Usually the only time we use weapons are in katas/forms.

 

If we hit bags we stick to foam weapons.

 

OMG Jeff Speakman in the "Perfect Weapon" that was a horrible movie lol.

You can also make nunchuks out of hard enough wood that the chances of breaking are next to nil. And Aamorn has a good point. It may break if you hit hard enough with it, but do you want to be the one it breaks on?

 

MA.

 

p.s.

 

I made my nunchuks out of a narra wood from the Philippines. IMO, the hardest wood.

foam is more for training and sparring practice, you can't get the same speed and power as wood, I think, but they are definately a lot painless.

 

(I learned with foam, and the bruises, had I survived training, would have been 50 times bigger with wood.
