This is exactly right. There are a few techniques like that later in the kata. I tried them on one of my training partners at maybe 2% power and he said his jaw was sore for three days. That's when I realized nunchakus really are lethal force. That's also why I use a dummy for the video.

Are there any videos of his applications? I'd love to see them!

Think of the nunchaku like a nut cracker. Two ends applying extreme amounts of force on a central point. Now, think where you can apply that force, such as wrists, elbows, neck, feet and ankles.

If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.
