Nunchucku :-D


BKJ1216

Recommended Posts

This weapons is really, really, really, fun. We learned a kata already for it I think it's called nunchucky miso, or somethign smilar sounding. I love doing it I've been able to get it going like really fast too, which is kind of cool. What I'm wondering though is it normal to be training with nunckucku this early? The sensai said that most white betls don't. She also says that if we can do this one adequatley enough by the end of the class she'll teach us a bo kata too.

My dojo used to have a seperate weapons class where all belt ranks could learn weapons, including white belts. Usually it's a little easier to learn a weapon after you've gotten a few months/years of open-hand training. However, if you're gettin good instruction, there shouldn't be a problem. Training in weapons can actually help you improve your open-hand skills, since weapons are an extension of your body. Esepcially if you begin training with the bo staff...certain strikes and blocks with the bo are just like throwing punches, but you're holding a stick.

 

What kind of nunchaku are you using? Foam with cord instead of chain is usually the best for beginners. The foam makes them safe, and the cord makes them nice and light.

I remember in what I read about shudokan about the inclusion of weapons training as part of the regular cirriculum. Is there a rotation with a certain weapon being taught at a certain rank or it there a rotation timewise like we do nunchaku this year and sai next year?
