Title: My name is Mike
Post by: Mike on July 28, 2007, 03:43:31 AM

Hello gang. I hear lots of good things about you from my IRL friend Wild_Industry, and I thought I would drop by.

My name is Mike and I live in North Eastern USA. I am in highschool and spend lots of time at school or doing something school related. Other pass times include movies and video games.

In actuality I know nothing about nunchucks, but all the video's I have seen are awe-inspiring. I thought I would give the whole scene a try and buy some chucks. If anyone has a good link or two I will be sure to check em out and props to all the people who's videos I have watched.

I am hoping you will all be nice about my ignorance and supportive  :thumb:

Peace
~Mike

P.S. I am really surprised the name "Mike" wasn't taken :P

Hey Mike, welcome to the forum  :thumb:  Don't worry about the nunchaku ignorance- ignorance is easy to mold and we were all there once.   A little practice and you'll be right up there with everyone else!  Plus you have Wild to help you out as well.

Here's my standard dish of links I like to hit the new people with - check 'em out.  I would also suggest getting a video up as soon as you're comfortable.  Invaluable learning tool =P

Thanks for the kind words guys. And thanks for the videos... I gotta get some chucks first. Wild dropped me a link at karatedepot.com . some graphite ones. They sound good so I think I might get those ASAP.

In regard to T.I.Ps question. I live in Southern Pennsylvania, West Chester by name (A Suburb of Philly). Live near me?

don't mention him... He is a blemish on my town's good name. But yes, he used to live here until the municipality told him to pack up and leave.

Welcome to the forum Mike, post some pics when you get your chucks and some vids once you've learned to swing 'em some.

Hope you enjoy your time here, if you have any questions just ask!
