How to get started with the basic movements of the nunchaku?

Hello, I am a nunchuck enthusiast like you. In fact, all the stick techniques are nothing more than sweeping, picking, splitting and other movements. Beginners cannot pursue beautiful movements. First, make a few Practice simple movements well, such as catching the stick under the armpit, catching the stick behind the back, changing the stick at the waist, changing hands in front of the body, horoscopes, etc., rebounding of various parts of the body, sweeping, teasing, splitting, shooting, pointing, swinging, etc. These movements may seem simple, but they are included in all combined movements. Another problem for beginners is that their bodies are very stiff and will not relax when practicing with sticks, resulting in very awkward movements. You should practice the movements you are familiar with first, even for two or three times. Either one is fine, try to combine these two or three movements organically, so that you can relax and be natural, and your footwork and body movements should also be coordinated reasonably. For example, the sweeping stick should be coordinated with side steps, and if you sweep to the left, move to the left and forward. Draw the stick while moving.

There are many videos on the Internet, and I often upload my own videos. Watching other people’s videos can further improve your stick skills, but you cannot copy other people’s moves. One move is not suitable for everyone. Practice After a period of time, you have to form your own style. Whether it is for performances or actual combat, it is recommended to spend less time practicing the beautiful but useless flower sticks. You must know that the nunchaku is also a kung fu, and the ultimate purpose of kung fu is to defend yourself. To control the enemy, many beginners now don’t understand this, and have turned nunchuck into a kind of juggling. They invent beautiful stick moves every day, and go around to impress people. This is not advisable. Nunchaku performance does not require a lot of beautiful sticks. The most important thing is that the stick technique is as smooth as flowing clouds. The stick technique performed in Bruce Lee's movies is very simple but also has very good viewing value. You need to make the nunchaku a part of your body, and you can move it from different directions and in different directions. Hold the stick position to deliver a quick, accurate and hard blow, making sure you can send and receive it freely.

Usually spend some time practicing actual combat stick skills. You use the stick to hit trees or sandbags, and treat them as enemies. Give them a fatal blow. Use the explosive power of your wrist to draw the stick, and Cooperate with waist strength. When performing, you must pay attention to rhythm, be beautiful, and control your expressions well. Many people perform nunchucks with very ugly expressions.

Here are some of my favorite stick training methods:

1. Hit the target accurately. The objects can be from large to small. The first is a can, and then slowly change to a can. Peanuts.

2. To hit the moving target, find a few empty Wong Lo Kat cans, punch a small hole in the middle, and then use wire to hoist them to a certain height. You can hang a few more, and the heights should be different, and then swing them and Accurate and fast strikes.

3. You can experience the fun of practicing stick practice when the wind is strong.
