Introduction to nunchakus

The basis of nunchaku fancy stick technique: the traditional fancy nunchaku is based on twelve basic forms of actual combat, which is actually unrealistic in teaching, and there is a great difference between actual combat and fancy. Here, we adopt a brand-new basic action course developed by Wu Pin raceway in Chongqing, which is of great innovative significance compared with the traditional basic action course!

Fancy nunchakus are divided into four categories: spiral sticks, dancing Hua Gun, split sticks and changing sticks. The four stick techniques are very easy to understand, and the names of the basic movements are all substantive, which sounds easier for beginners to understand.

In the opposing thoughts of Wushu stick, there are actual combat, fancy, spiral, dance, upper split, lower split, left turn and right turn, which I believe many stick practitioners feel the same way. Split stick and change stick are opposites, mainly evolved from actual combat. At the same time, the spiral stick and dancing Hua Gun are opposites. If there is a spiral, there will be dancing flowers, mainly for performance. Therefore, the spiral stick representing fancy in the basic action is in opposition to the split stick and variable stick evolved in actual combat! With this idea, we can calculate an ordinary eight-character spiral: positive spiral, anti-spiral, left-turn spiral, right-turn spiral, left-flat spiral and right-flat spiral. Because the spiral corresponds to the dancing flower, then the forward dancing flower, the reverse dancing flower, the left dancing flower, the right dancing flower, the left dancing flower and the right dancing flower can be introduced. 12 actions can be deduced from one action, which shows that this basic action theory is the most practical! Another example is changing sticks. According to the principle of left and right, there is a front and a back. You can also introduce this idea: change the stick at the front, change the stick at the back, change the stick at the neck and change the stick at the waist.

Brief introduction to the basic movements of fancy nunchakus (mainly for stick skills) Three elements of form and spirit

The basic requirement is to pay attention to the shape of the stick, the stick is uniform and stable, and the whole body will not move if it is not crooked.

Grip method: hold the stick, and the tiger's mouth is close to the chain end.

Four types of fancy basic skills

Sticks have shapes.

1: Definition of spiral rod: The rod moves in a zigzag or S-shaped zigzag trajectory. Wrist strength. When moving, the whole body moves, and when not moving, the whole body does not move. The former pays attention to the whole body strength, while the latter pays attention to the wrist strength, both of which are qualified. If you want a strong style, take the spiral stick method.

Basic movements: Folklore calls it spiral flowers. In order not to conflict with the slide chain dance, we removed the word flower in the method. Positive spiral, anti-spiral, left-handed spiral, right-handed spiral, left-handed spiral, right-handed spiral, plus or minus large spiral (combination of positive and negative spiral and anti-spiral)

2. Hua Gun's definition: According to the rotation of the stick chain around limbs (mainly palms, fingers and wrists), you usually grab the other end of the stick, or you don't have to grab it. Grabbing is to connect the next action. Palm dance is a basic movement, and turning palm to finger (fingering) and wrist (wrist flower) are all difficult movements. Want to dance more fancy.

Basic movements: forward dance flower, backward dance flower, left dance flower, right dance flower, left flat dance flower, right flat dance flower, three-point dance flower, backward four-point dance flower, forward and backward big dance flower (combination of forward and backward dragon dance flower, forward dance flower and backward dance flower).

Believe in a principle, spiral dancing flowers are completely corresponding, and each spiral must have a dancing flower corresponding!

3. Definition of changing hands: two hands exchange actions with one hand, and the stick leaves the hand and returns. Difficulty moves include throwing sticks.

Basic movements: changing the stick before, changing the stick after, changing the stick after, changing the stick around the neck, changing the stick around the waist and changing the stick around the legs. Stick throwing: front throwing, side throwing, waist throwing, leg throwing, one-handed throwing, two-handed throwing and flat throwing.

Stay flexible and don't bend over to dodge. If you don't dodge, you are upright, and the stick doesn't fly around, you are qualified.

4. Definition of chopping sticks: chopping (hooking, hanging, picking, stabbing, pulling and sweeping) sticks in a straight line or arc depending on arm strength and waist strength. Rebound sticks belong to this category, so pay attention to sticking to sticks.

The action of exerting force, including exerting force and stressing, regulates breathing, and the trajectory is usually a straight line or an arc. The greater the strength, the more imposing the footwall.

Basic movements: large (small) chopping stick (hook, hang, pick, stab, pull, chop, sweep) (oblique chopping stick and chopping stick combine to exert force), which means to draw a straight line (arc) in several directions in front of or beside the body with a stick; At the same time, there are rebound sticks: big arm rebound, waist rebound; A stick that spits, a stick that stabs a knife. When a poisonous snake spits a stick, it spits a letter. Stabbing a stick is a difficult action. Stabbing the stick and arm in a straight line looks like fencing. Rebound is to practice the flexibility of changing direction and reduce the strength and flexibility of hitting the stick. Big chopping sticks are common in rigid and fierce routes. Generally, the footwork is very open, and the lower the footwork, the stronger the momentum. This is because the plane friction between the ground and the foot increases, which leads to more waist strength transmission. When cutting the stick with the center as the baseline, or when cutting or sweeping the center, the stick will continue to move for a certain distance by inertia. The standard of force is that the stick will not run around when it is put away, and the path will always be straight or arc. The small chopping stick is the same as the big chopping stick, but the momentum is small before the footwall is opened, which is generally a female stick technique.

Why is the change stick corresponding to the big split stick? The reason is simple: change hands with a stick, you must leave your hand with the stick, but you can't leave your hand with the stick!

There are many videos of basic movements on the Internet. If you look closely, you can divide them into the above four categories. Practice according to the above requirements according to the video.

Basic footwork and body shape

Body posture and footwork are closely related to the basic skills of Wushu dance, which are the characteristics of a person's stick method.

Footwork means meaning and represents momentum, and it is almost inseparable from him. Once it is bad, it will be unstable.

Common footwork includes: standing flat, sprinting left and right, sprinting left and right, imaginary step, stance, kneeling step, jumping step and turning step.

Forward and backward footwork: (including flat step and imaginary step)

Forward, backward, left, right.

Turn around:

Standing turn (turning from one step to two steps into basic movements), jumping, kneeling into gods, adjusting the balance of the body, the combination of footwork and stick technique needs the coordination of posture, and posture is the soul of stick technique, so it is god.

Four characteristics of posture: rigidity, softness, fluency and agility. Mainly reflected in the formula of force and stick ceremony.

Physical strength: (reflected in both footwork and stick technique).

Twist your waist, hips, wrists, knees, lunges, leaps, and knees up.

Stick ceremony: a common routine, but not as a basis.

Stereotypes: fist, palm, sword finger, stick, lunge, imaginary step, kneeling step, etc. Stereotypes mostly come from traditional Wushu performance routines, which play a role in stabilizing, coordinating and balancing and increasing the gas field.

Common starting methods: Tai Chi, leg flip, somersault, stabbing stick, pushing stick, etc.

Tail style: similar to fixed style, it mainly includes: closing the stick to salute and making a fist.

Walking stick, footwork, standing, turning, forward and backward and posture can all be used as the basis of fancy. Secondly, in the process of practice, dance movements and spiral movements are corresponding and interchangeable. All kinds of basic movements add up to a set of routines. Cyclic routines such as Lingyun Stick Road are all composed of basic movements, which are standard and beautiful to play.

The stick action is taken from the body posture, the thought determines the way of exerting force, and the force is feminine and firm, which determines the style.

Ten systems of nunchakus are the most complete and scientific technical system of modern nunchakus. Introduction of basic movements of actual combat stick

(twelve types for beginners)

Description: Influenced by Bruce Lee's technique, he was sideways in actual combat. Arms should not be too far away from the ribs. Wrist is the main strength when swinging, and both hands need to be practiced. This formula is mainly used to protect the side of the body. The names of these actions are too fancy and varied, so it is not recommended to remember them in this way. It is much more convenient to remember according to the fancy stick technique and according to the position and posture. Similar to fancy stick foundation)

The first type: the main points of the meteor's rotation action: the right foot is in front, the right hand holds the end of the stick, and the stick swings clockwise or counterclockwise on the side. Action description: Don't leave your arms too far away from your ribs. Wrist is the main strength when swinging, and both hands need to be practiced. This formula is mainly used to protect the side of the body. The second type: figure 8 action points: hold the end of the stick and swing horizontally in front of you. Action description: the arm and wrist should coordinate their efforts, the body and pace should be coordinated, and both hands should practice. This formula can be used to protect the whole body, attack and defense. The third type: the key points of rotating and folding: make the index finger between the ends of two sticks, with the A stick above and the B stick below. Use wrist force to make the B stick bounce up and reach the top of the A stick. At the same time, release the three fingers and immediately take back and hold the A stick, while the index finger that originally held the A stick immediately turns up and puts it on the A stick. When the B-bar bounces and falls, the positions of the A-bar and the B-bar are reversed. Action Description: This formula can train the reflex speed and flexibility of fingers. Both hands need practice. The fourth kind: snakes spit letters. Action points: Hold one end of the B-bar with the right armpit, hold the A-bar with the right hand, and then release the B-bar. At the same time, when the right arm stretches forward, the right wrist will immediately swing out the B-stick. Then use the strength of the arm to quickly pull the B stick back to the armpit. Action description: When the stick is ejected, the shoulders, arms, elbows and forearms should bounce forward at the same time, and the elbows should deviate from the body when the stick is retracted. This formula can be used to attack the opponent's head, shoulders and other parts. The fifth type: Su Qin's backhand smash/shoulder pass key points: Note that Su Qin's backhand smash has always been controversial, and there is a dispute between chopping and smashing and changing hands under his arm, which is explained here respectively. Downward smash: the right arm bends forward, the right hand is at the same height as the head, the left hand is below the right arm, and both hands hold the stick in a sword posture, then release the left hand and swing the stick forward and down with the right hand. When the stick is used up, the stick swings forward and makes a circle, returning to the front of the right shoulder, and the left hand reaches behind the right rib to meet the swinging stick. Action Description: This formula can attack the enemy from top to bottom. Over the shoulder: the right arm bends forward, the right hand is at the same height as the head, the left hand is under the right arm, and both hands hold the stick in a sword posture, then the right hand is released, and the left hand forcibly picks up the stick forward and swings around the left shoulder, and the right hand reaches behind the left rib and meets the swinging stick. Action Description: This formula can attack the enemy from bottom to top. The sixth kind: tired birds know how to turn around. Action points: Stand in a stance of "horse stance", hold the stick with both hands, and let go of the left hand to make it droop downward. When the stick is almost used up, the right wrist will quickly bounce the stick back to the left hand. Then let go of your right hand and practice in turn. Action description: this formula is mainly used to confuse the other side, so that the enemy can't figure out which side to attack, and can hit the other side below the waist. The seventh type: snake out of the hole to fold the snake's action points: hold the stick with your right hand, the two sticks overlap and keep parallel to the horizon, make a strong note with your right hand, clamp the stick below with the inner edge of your thumb and palm, then shoot the stick stacked on it with all your strength, and finally pull the stick back. Action description: This formula can be used to suddenly hit the opponent's head. Both hands need practice. The eighth type: the key points of the post-transmission action: stand in a natural posture, hold the stick with both hands, release it with the left hand, hold the stick with the right hand from back to front to the top of your head, turn your wrist to make the stick circle in the upper right, and then swing to the left side of your body. When the stick swings to the left rear of the body, stick the chain between the two sticks to the waist, and at the same time, the waist rotates slightly, and the wrist is raised to swing the stick to the upper right, and the left hand immediately swings by itself. Description of action: This style is difficult, so it is not advisable to use too much force for beginners to avoid injury. Type 9: Spinning up with snow cover. Action points: swing the stick overhead and make a plane circle in both positive and negative directions. Action Description: This type is suitable for group battle, and can also protect the head and wait for an opportunity to attack the opponent's temples and other key parts. Type 10: Kick and bounce first. Action points: Stand in a natural posture, swing the stick upward with your right hand, so that the stick can release its strength on the right arm and make it rebound. When the stick falls, immediately lift the right leg to meet it, so that the proximal part of the stick contacts the thigh. With the help of the thigh, the stick will bounce up and pull it back to your hand with your wrist. Action Description: This type can attack the enemy unexpectedly. Eleventh type: hands oblique scanning. Key points of action: lunge sideways, hold the stick with both hands, release the left hand, and swing the stick to the lower left with the right hand. With the shift of center of gravity and standing posture, the swing falls to the left hand in advance, and then the right hand is released for practice. Action Description: This type can be used to sweep the enemy. Type 12: Megatron's eight-sided backhand action points: standing posture, holding the stick with both hands, releasing the left hand, holding the stick end in the opposite direction with the right hand, lifting the stick to the same height as the chin, and exerting force with the right hand, swinging the stick in the figure of eight in front of the body, and picking it up with the left hand when the stick falls to the left waist. Description: This formula is mainly used for whole body protection, and both hands need to be practiced.

Keep posture and essentials.

There are mainly four kinds, namely, two-handed towering, oolong tumbling, Su Qin holding a sword and white snake spitting letters, among which two-handed towering and oolong tumbling are the most commonly used.

Oolong tumbling potential Oolong tumbling potential is simple and flexible, extremely fast, and both offensive and defensive. Starting from the basic essentials of lifting the sky with both hands, the right hand holds the sticks at the ends of the two sticks in the palm inward way, and the two sticks are about perpendicular to the ground and close to the right hip.

The white snake spits the letter. The white snake spits the letter. It's an offensive posture, not suitable for defense. Starting from the basic essentials of holding hands in the air, retract the stick B to the right armpit, hold the end of the stick with the right shoulder, and push it out to the left with the palm of your left hand. Chin slightly retracted, looking ahead.

Su Qin's back sword posture Su Qin's back sword posture is used for active attack and not suitable for defense. Starting from the basic essentials of holding hands in the air, swing the B-stick back and forth, open the right hand under the ribs and hold the swinging B-stick with the left hand, so that the chain is close to the shoulder, the jaw is closed, and the eyes are looking forward.

The above basic posture and action requirements: start quietly, stand up quickly and enter the enemy's attack distance. Decisive, quick, decisive. Body, mind and stick are integrated.

Holding a stick includes two aspects: holding a stick and lifting it. There are one-hand forward grip, one-hand reverse grip, one-hand overlapping grip, two-hand single grip and two-hand combination grip, which can be divided into male grip, female grip and side grip according to palm orientation. There are hanging sticks, hanging sticks (lifting sticks), clamping sticks, back sticks, hidden sticks and two-handed lifting sticks. The essentials of holding a stick are naturalness, relaxation, loose grasping of hair, triggering, grasping hair and sending and receiving. Relaxation includes holding hands, joints, muscles, facial expressions and hearts of all parts of the body, so as to relax and calm from top to bottom and from outside to inside. The grip part of the stick is generally close to the end or middle of the chain, which is convenient for turning and changing the stick with one hand and has a stronger impact. Holding it too far is difficult for beginners to control the joystick.

One-handed grip means that nunchakus hold the same stick, just like holding a golf club. Few people use this grip.

The two-handed combination grip has a positive grip, a positive grip and a negative grip, which is matched with various two-handed grip postures.

Hanging a stick is holding one stick with one hand or both hands, and the other stick naturally hangs down. One-handed hanging rod can be held in three ways: male, female and horizontal.

Holding the stick is also called carrying the stick, that is, one holds the stick and the other holds the stick on the arm, shoulder or back, which can be the same shoulder arm, the other shoulder arm or the other forearm. Holding the stick in one hand, the other one is under the armpit, usually on the same side or the other side.

The back-stick style includes Su Qin's back-sword style, shoulder-binding style (i.e. mountain climbing style 2) and the same side and different side mountain climbing style.

The Tibetan stick hid the stick behind his back and attacked him unexpectedly. Take the right side as an example. The basic method is to open it in four or six steps, facing the right. Holding a B stick in his left hand and an A stick in his right hand behind his back. A stick is parallel to the right thigh and completely hidden behind the thigh. The B-stick leans upward and is completely hidden behind the back. Two sticks and chains are straightened, and both hands can easily attack with sticks.

Hold hands horizontally, obliquely, vertically, completely, or with thumb and axe mouth. The other four fingers are open, and the positive and negative grips can be matched at will.

Holding stick and lifting stick cooperate with various steps and shapes to form various stick-holding postures, which is the basis of nunchaku technology and an important content of performing nunchaku.

Technical actual combat

Nunchaku is a good self-defense fitness equipment. It is not only easy to learn and carry, but also can enhance wrist strength and coordination skills, greatly improve the flexibility and agility of the body, exercise courage, and cultivate the virtues of perseverance and self-discipline. The following are nunchakus 1 1 actual combat postures:

1. Hold the stick, hold the main stick with your elbow bent (the angle is less than 90 degrees), and retract the free stick to the armpit on the same side. After being clamped by the inner side of the ipsilateral upper arm, the back hand becomes a palm as a hand protector, ready to attack or defend at any time. This style is not only the action of closing the stick, but also a good posture of attack.

2. Pull the bow, sideways against the enemy, stick the forehand to the enemy, the stick body is flat with the nose or with the jaw, and pull the other stick with the back hand at the rear.

3. Holding a stick, facing the enemy sideways, holding the stick in front of you, bending your elbow over your head and hanging the stick on your shoulder, leaning on your shoulder, ready to split the stick or whip on your head at any time.

4. Roll back, turn sideways against the enemy, bend your front hand and hold the main stick on the other side horizontally, then hold the free stick and pull it to the rear of your hip to prepare for a large-scale whip sweep. This type of attack is more subtle.

5. The back sword style is similar to the stick-holding style, except that when the stick is raised over the shoulder and another stick is held, the back hand bends the elbow over the body and gently holds the stick on the opposite side. This style can attack from above or below at any time, and the upper stick can also droop from the upper arm side, that is, when the upper stick is bent and raised, the lower stick and the stick chain will not lean against the outer side of the upper arm, depending on the length of the stick chain and its own needs.

6. Stick-hanging type, the back hand or the front hand slightly bends the elbow to hold the main stick, and naturally hangs the free stick on the side, so that the whip stick can be swept at any time.

7. Stick Tibetan style, with strong concealment. Holding two sticks behind your waist in both hands can be used to meet the enemy. This style of play can be used to hold the stick forward or backward, horizontally behind the waist, or vertically behind the hip, so that the opponent can't see the nunchakus.

8. Stacked stick style, with two sticks in the front hand, and the tip of the stick points to the opponent to meet the enemy. For example, in unarmed combat, the fist in the front hand points at the other side, or you can hang upside down with two sticks to meet the enemy.

9.l-shaped, the front hand holds the stick near the top of the chain, and the lower part of the stick points slightly outward, and the back hand bends down to hold the other stick in front of the opposite rib.

10. Bow-pulling type, basically holding the stick is the same as bow-pulling type, the only difference is that both hands are lifted at the same time, the forehand stick is slightly tilted inward, and the top ends of the forehand stick and the backhand stick are flush with the top of the head. This type is convenient for any hand-held stick and whip stick to attack or defend in any direction, and can also dance over the head to block.

1 1. Vertical figure of eight, holding a stick in both hands in a vertical figure of eight, pointing at the opponent, can be changed to backhand inverted figure of eight.

Common folk gestures

There are four main types, namely, reaching into the sky with both hands, an oolong rolling, Su Qin carrying a sword, and a white snake spitting letters. Hands are the most used posture, which is suitable for both attack and defense. It is superior to other postures, such as hitting the peach at the top, blocking left and blocking right, chopping and sweeping, advancing and retreating, attacking and defending. Hands in the air, right foot in front, left foot behind, is a natural posture (right posture). Pull back and forth slightly wider than your shoulders. Step forward with your right foot, button your toes, then level your left foot, lift your heel slightly, bend your knees slightly, and face the enemy on your upper side. Hold the stick ends of A (holding the stick in the right hand) and B (holding the stick in the left hand) with both hands, and straighten the stick to make it parallel to the ground (or erect the stick to be perpendicular to the ground). The end of the stick is the middle of the enemy's body. Belly in, chest out, back straight naturally. Look at the enemy's chest. The left posture is the same as the right posture, but in the opposite direction (Figure 2). This kind of left and right potential can be moved back and forth, left and right, or it can be waved in situ to split, sweep, shackle and draw.

Attack technology guide

First, the grip method of nunchakus: Generally, nunchakus can be divided into front, middle and end grips. Common fancy in the front section and actual combat in the middle section. Division of the area around the human body: the body stands in a "big" shape, and the surrounding area can be divided into five parts, namely, the upper left area (the area above the left arm of the body), the upper right area (the area above the right arm of the body), the lower left area (the area below the left arm of the body), the lower right area (the area below the right arm of the body) and the lower right area (the legs). Three. Attack routes of the two-section stick: There are roughly nine attack routes of the two-section stick, namely, forward chopping (top-down), forward swinging (bottom-up), left chopping (from upper right to lower left), right chopping (from upper left to lower right), left swinging (from right to upper left) and right swinging (from left to lower right). 4. Two-stage stick lifting: When holding the stick with one hand, you can put the stick in any area around your body except the lower right area. The specific meaning can include holding the stick in front, holding the stick in the back, holding the stick on the back, hanging the stick, holding the stick under the arm and many other different postures. When holding the stick with both hands, the hands can be placed up and down, left and right, and back and forth. The stick can be placed in front, behind, beside, on the head or under the legs. You can hold it with both hands, one hand holding it forward, the other hand holding it backwards, or both hands holding it backwards. You don't have to insist when you practice. As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, do what you like. Five, the strength of the two-stage stick: pay attention to the use of the wrist in the arc swing strength such as fatigue, paddling and sweeping. The wrist can be buckled (split) or picked (swung), which makes the end of the stick suddenly accelerate, thus increasing the swing strength. In addition, when the stick runs about half of the attack route, it is necessary to slow down by one meter. One is to avoid wasting strength, and the other is to facilitate returning the stick and changing hands. As for direct shooting from back to front, we should try our best to be crisp, fast and fast, and we should not drag our feet. Six, two-stage stick return: D is divided into natural return and rebound return. Return the stick naturally, that is, when the stick runs to the end of the attack route, it directly changes direction and turns around. Rebound stick means that the stick runs to the end of an attack route, and then bounces and buffers at the inner arm, outer arm, waist and thigh to change the route. After returning the stick, the running route of the stick depends on the area where the stick is located. For example, when returning the stick, the stick is located in the lower left area, and then the route should be selected from the one that is lifted from the front, lifted from the right and swept from the right. In short, the previous stick is ready for the next stick, and the next stick can follow the trend. Seven, two stick hand-changing: it can be divided into single-region hand-changing and cross-region hand-changing. Changing hands in a single area means changing hands in a certain area. Hold the same bamboo stick in both hands before and after changing hands. Cross-regional hand-changing, that is, the hand-changing action is carried out in one or two regions. At the moment of changing hands, both hands are required to grasp the two sections of the stick, which are in two different areas. As for whether the mountain grip is changed to the front grip, the back grip is changed to the front grip, the back grip is changed to the back grip, or the front grip is changed to the back grip. You can master it yourself when practicing, as long as it's not awkward.
