I think I saw a few videos in the world cup of ppl wearing gloves and stuff, I was wondering what else some ppl wear mandatory to working chucks...?

I cant wear gloves for my style...

nah i never wear gloves. it reduces contact and kinda changes the feel altogether,

i tend to wear t-shirts or hoodies.
as long as theyre tight enough around the biceps and the waist then they dont negatively affect my chucking.

yeah, if your clothes are too baggy then it increases the risk that you'll grab your clothes instead of the chucks.

(being as skinny as i am doesnt hurt either  :lol:)

  • hmmm...
    • its my facebook yo...
t-shirt (tank top, hell, no shirt) and loose jeans. i will chuck with a hoodie, but it makes neck passes pretty dicey. i dont do long sleeves either, if i do, i pull the sleeves up. having bare forearms is pretty much a must for uninhibited freestyle for me. as i am a digit man, gloves are ruled out. i have a decent bag of digit moves and they all require feeling where the chuck is on my fingers.

I don't really mind wearing anything, I can chuck with any of my clothes, but sometimes I'm running or excersizing before I chuck, so I wear t-shirts,  sport pants and sometimes gloves.
I don't really mind using gloves, it was hard at the begining, but it's something I got used to  :um: not really a big deal, so I can use them or not.
if I'm with long sleeves, I pull them up too.

When I want to be in full creativity chucking mode and I'm sure I'm alone in my house I tend to chuck in my boxers, as funny as it is I'm not joking :-D

For serious practice sessions I dress in a clown suit with bells on the hat.

yeah to be honest... i find the less your wearing... the better your sessions are...

sleeves irritate me when i chuck... especially long sleeves...
You do not need to leave your room.  Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait.  Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. 
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice,
it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Anything comfortable, as long as its not too loose.  Sucks to grab your shirt instead of the nunchaku.
Less the better, but even on very hot days I usually wear at least a light T-shirt to absorb sweat.
Not a problem today though  :lmfao:
