Just got a set of Emig's X-generation chucks, not overly impressed, but thats the subject of another thread. (see separate review).


Just wondering if anyone has bought Matt Emig's Nunchaku DVDs, and if so, are they any good? and how do they compare with Lee bardens Advanced Chux series? (which I find a very good set of DVDs).


Thanks.

I do.

They are great to begin with. If you are already experienced just buy the 3rd. The 4th is more about building forms which is interesting only if you compete in XMA or somewhere else.

Lee Barden's stuff is superior though

Thank you. I have known Matt since he was a baby boy.  He was the first to do aerials with the Chuks.  He did a backflip with Chuks doing a simple circle.  Everyone went crazy and the rest is history. I tried to teach him when he was younger but my and his arrogance chased him away. Now that he is older, he seem to be a good deal more humble himself as well me.  :evil: 
He has obviously studied my dvd's since we shot his.

Thats a shame but there might be a silver lining to that he might become more of a freestylist concentrating on his chucks more than his flips

  • hmmm...
    • its my facebook yo...
so, i sent him an e-mail with well wishes of a speedy recovery. i also let him know how cool it would be if he became an active member (he is a member of the forum) so hopefully the e mail addy he put down on his profile is correct and maybe we will see him around!

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

I cant help thinking that 21 is the turning point for tricksers, a lot of people get injured at that age (including me)

Somebody knows what happened exactly ?

Matt Emig broke his leg at the 2008 LoopKikcs camp in San Jose He has been told by his doctors that he may never jump again.

doctors always say stuff like that because they don't want to get your hopes up.  when i broke my arm (twice) i had 2 sets of titanium plates put in,  they told me that it was probably best if i didn't continue doing any kind of MA, and when i told them i use nunchaku they told me it was far to risky to do anymore due to the high likelihood that i could break it again,they said it would eb apermanent weakness, and i could sustain permanent nerve damage, which woulld result in the loss of the use of all of the fingers on my left hand/

within 3 days of being out of my cast when i had the plates removed i was back on the chucks again, and my arm has been getting better ever since,

if i were to have listened to the doctors. nobody would have ever heard of me. and i certainly wouldnt be here.

all im saying is that if you talk to Matt, tell him not to take it too fast, but don't give up entirely,, a lot of this kinda thing is about endurance and will power.

im sure he'll be up and tricking in no time
Nunchucka mutha fucka.

That would be a terrible loss for the art, I hope he recovers fully and quickly..

He was the first to do aerials with the Chuks. 

S'not wise to make claims like that. It's not exactly revoultionary to think of throwing something into the air and making claims that anyone did something as simple as that first could stir up some trouble. :)

He's talking about body aerials like flips and what not. Not aerials with the chucks. Lee and Derek have been doing aerials longer than Emig's been alive.
