sansoouser Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Does anyone use nunchucks, well? I've been training with them for 3 years now, I always have a hide a chuck with me, 16 inches. It's my favorite weapon. The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
Solo Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 You always carry them with you? Is that a set or a just a pair? I've just started training with them yet have been bruised so many times I lost count lol They're brutal lol but totally worth it!

Stold Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Er, in the US where I live it's illegal to carry nunchaku is a lot of states. So I don't carry mine.
Tal Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 when i tried nunchaku i found them far too clumsy. its more likely that its me that's clumsy, but i didn't like them. i'd prefer a solid stick to whack people with. shotokan karate nidanjujitsu shodankendo shodan
tommarker Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I've been known to carry a pair. Tal, they do take a lot of work, but the force generated by a pair is far more than that of a stick. But there's something to be said for a stick, too I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
Black Dragon Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I heard something like it takes 17lbs of (direct) force to break someone's nose. And nunchucks create 90 lbs. If I hadn't been practicing with padded chucks I'd have very few unbroken bones. So recognize or be hospitalized Cuz literally on a scale from one to ten I'm 25.
Tibby Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah, I don't pratice them, but if I did, I'd start with those foam chucka. Plus, as someone said, they are illegal. I like Staff work, I mean, you can use a pool cue, a broom stick, most of the time, when you need a weapon, a long stick will be around just in case.
Drunken Monkey Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 um, what was the point of the original post? anyway, i have played with them and have been shown a couple of wrist training exercise with them. apart from that my knowledge with them is a bit thin. so, why do you always have a pair of chucks with you? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
wilko9999 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Hi hope to buy some nunchucks, it's illegal to carry nunchucks but you can carry then to karate and if the police say a think to you, you can say to then i am going to karate.

Solo Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 They're illegal here in Canada aswell, I mean you're not allowed to own a "hardwood" set, they have to be foam. And yes, I only have foam ones (...heh) lol I find they tend to bend went they should stay sraight, err it gets annoying when you try to execute a move but the darn chucks just flip flop everywhere lol But you're right, they don't hurt when you smack yourself in the face.. =P "Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make."-Bruce Lee
