Combat application-----fully use the momentum of ur chucks and learn to control

[Keeper]

If u know how to control the motion of the chucks and how to use your strength, even though the chain is long (the one I use in this clip is about 10 inches), it won't hit back and hurt yourself. Also, if u know how to fully use the momentum, the triple strikes will work pretty good as combat application.
As my opinion, Nunckucks are weapons, not showing tools, so the training should focus on the real combat situations instead of fancy movements.（just personal opinion though ）

This is my first post, I am not sure wether the video will successfully post or not. If not, please check this link and watch it on the youtube:

Thanks

I agree with what you say about using nunchaku as a weapon. However, I'd like to point out that to use it more effectively as a weapon, you should hold the stick near the bottom(the end of the stick that isn't connected to the chain) for maximum range and power. Also, you should use your hips as you strike for more power as well. Take a look at this video, and check out the rest of this guy's videos on youtube:



He has a set of like 10 different weapons DVDs with instruction on various kobudo weapons including the bo, tonfa, sai, and a bunch of others that I can't recall at the moment. He's one of the few real nunchaku instructors out there that doesn't try to teach you flashy stuff. There are some other instructors out there that seem to be interested in teaching combat application, but they still show a lot of flashy, non-practical stuff. I don't really like or agree with Lee Barden much, but there is one thing he says that I do agree with very much: that you need to hold the nunchaku handle as close to the bottom as possible for use as a weapon. It makes a lot of sense. You might not have quite as much control, but you'll get greater range and power. Think about it like swinging a baseball bat. If you choke up, it feels lighter, and it's more easily controllable, but you don't have as much power in your swing either because you're holding it closer to the middle.

Here's the video where he mentions this, in case you're interested:



Anyway, nice video

First of all, thanx for ur common~ 
Secondly, there is a misunderstanding for the holding. I explained in the video that cuz the nunchucks I use is rubber one, if I hold in the middle it will decrease the actual output strength. But since it's Chinese....so u can't get it..... I 100% agree that by using it as weapon, u won't hold at the top. But as my preference, I prefer hold it in the middle instead of bottom cuz that way u can control the nunchucks better than u holding on the bottom. For the range, I think using footwork can make up for that. But again, it's a personal preference.

Also, check this out~ He is the true master for triple strikes combat applications in China! Most things I learned is from his video. These techniques is not only cool looking but most importantly really useful! They are truly combat applications

I like doing "fancy movements" with nunchucks, but I guess hitting a tree is cool too...

Oooh, that was a nice video. He looks pretty stiff from the waist down, though. One thing that Nishuichi(I think that's how it's spelled, the guy in the first video I posted) says about using nunchaku for self defense that makes a lot of sense to me is that when striking you should use your hips to turn your body as you strike to increase the power of the strike. That's not something I see many people doing at all, and I think it's something that should be emphasized more.

good video , keep it up bro

[psionics]

nunchaku was a farmer "tool" from 2 the history of it, before it was used as a "weapon".

[psionics]

welcome to the forum! and please try to search all the 'combat' application of nunchaku here, they all end up in flames. I'll review it and make a rule for this or confine it in a certain board when i am free.

thats a bit strange for a nunchaku forum. most people think nunchaku its just for show but it's one of the most effective and quickest weapons you can get. all it takes is one hit and it will injure someone enough to stop them whereas most other weapons one hit is not enough. for example kali sticks you will have to hit someone a lot to stop them, one hit isn't powerful enough. but one hit with the nunchaku will easily break any bone in the body

I'm sorry to correct this bro  , but I think its the opposite based on my experiences.. most people think its the most effective and quickest weapons you can get. very few can arrive thinking in using it for a show. but anyways, I'll humbly just make a board for this and put a very big disclaimer "we are not responsible stuffs.." take note that there are childrens here whose studying(even my younger relatives) and I'm sure gonna get beat up by their parents with this most effective and quickest weapons the world has ever did to history of mankind pluto galaxy - that is, if ever they get the idea of effectively use it for fighting their enemies.

FNF is about trying to show that there is an amazing art behind nunchaku.  It's a totally different approach than using it to train on how to hurt others.  In California, using a nunchaku is a felony - it's the same penalty as a sawed off shotgun... so unless shotguns are seen as just for show, your statement is very incorrect.  Nunchaku is illegal in many places because it is widely known as a destructive tool.  You have more freedom walking around with a sword.  We're trying to set free from that image and showcase the art of spinning. 

[zeros]

I agree with you, I think the nunchaku itself is a fairly efficient weapon if used properly and is known as taking the right way. in my country is illegal to use nunchaku. But to practice with little trouble with the police, I adopt the freestyle nunchaku, this is very appealing and people love it, but they think the freestyle is the most lethal, I do not think so ... so have more power and control just enough to presisamente and short techniques, such as nunchaku-do, or form

[internet sensei]

If you don't understand the basic fundamentals of the Weapon called Nunchaku, then you are just a juggler.  Don't call them Nunchucks, call them juggling stix (with a long chain) or Aerobix Stix, cause, they're not Nunchaku.  My Instructor, (when he was sane) told me no one will EVER respect you as a Master with the "Nunchaku" if you're not a, or don't understand the Martial Artist. If you are happy with Juggling then great, don't say you are working a weapon and try to benefit from the Mystique of the "NUNCHAKU". With that said here are some combat applications:

       # 1   

       # 2   

       # 3   


PS  if you are holding 10" chains at the neck, your reach is shorter or the same as Prochux.
