Jiggy9 Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Alex Levitas's first language is Russian and Second Hebrew - his english isnt all that great so he wrote the site in Russian First.

Bruce__L Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Hello! Don't you guys just love the nunchakus!? I've a had foam chucks for years now, and becoming pretty fast now. What I'm wondering is how much faster the wood and ratatta chucks are, compared to the foam one?

Jiggy9 Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Wood ones are heavier Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce__L Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hmm..I'm using foam nunchakus using a chain by the way. DanhShotokan Karate/Kickboxing and My own styleHave no fear in front of your opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggy9 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I think if youre using foam nunchucks you'll most definately find that the change will slow you down... I personally use the wooden ones with chain and for practice of new maneuvers foam with chain. Dont expect changing from foam to wood will be all that easy - takes some getting used too..and initially i think you'll find you will be much slower (depending on the weight - i used relatively heavy ones ). Eventually you will be reaching similar speeds. However i believe that you can get light weight wooden ones or the ratatta chucks...once you are used to them they'll eventually be faster then the wooden ones. Just a question, why the obsession with the chucks speed? Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Jiggy faster is cooler. Bruce if you go to traditional wood nunchaku with the rope the weight will be closer to that of your foam nunchaku with the chain. And the rope is more traditional. Of course it all depends on if your work is of a more traditional sort with basic strikes or of a more modern flashy nature. Either way when you get used to them the nunchaku with the cord will make a unique sound when swung at speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
