Mastering and understanding various correct grip methods of nunchakus is the basic skill that practitioners should learn first. Because nunchakus will generate huge energy in the process of high-speed dancing and collision, we must firmly grasp nunchakus when whipping to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of offensive and defensive actions. The worst situation of using nunchakus is that you can't hold it firmly and shake it off. You may hurt your partner in training, but you will be extremely passive in actual combat. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the grip. Practitioners must be able to control nunchakus at any time, but they must not be rigid. In other words, according to the actual needs of attack and defense, always pay attention to the relaxation and grip of the grip. The thumb and forefinger must be firmly held on the nunchakus, and the other three fingers play an auxiliary role and are placed together with the forefinger. It is important to hold nunchakus firmly, but you can relax a little and maintain the endurance of your arms.
Loosen the stick, that is, hold the front end of the stick with your thumb and forefinger (tiger's mouth), not too hard, and stick the other three fingers on the stick body.
Main points and uses: it is not completely without force to loosen the grip. In the loose grip state, the flexibility of wrist joint can be fully exerted, so that nunchakus can rotate quickly. Looseness is also the basis of explosiveness. When the stick turns to the target, the impact force can be multiplied by grasping it hard. Learners can compare the advantages and disadvantages of grasping and tightening.
Hold the stick with your thumb, hold the stick body with your thumb and palm together, and let go of the other four fingers. Don't force the stick to come loose.
Main points and uses: The thumb should be strong enough to hold the club, hold the swing and check its control. This action has important practical significance. In self-defense, after taking out the stick, one finger grabs the stick and releases the other stick to attack the enemy. If the grip is not firm, loosen the stick, which is the basis of closing and releasing the stick.
Sliding stick, on the basis of loosening the stick, slide back and forth after holding the stick.
Practical: before taxiing, it is beneficial to swing the stick at close range to attack the enemy; After taxiing, it is beneficial to attack distant enemies. It doesn't seem that there is no skill in holding the stick, as long as you hold it tightly, but all you know is that it will be slow, clumsy and stiff. Mastering the skills changes the whole style. Therefore, mastering the above simple tips can not be ignored. In addition to mastering the previous skills, you should also know how to master the upper, middle and lower parts of the commonly used nunchakus, holding the nunchakus with one hand and holding the stick with both hands. Beginners are suitable for grasping the middle part.
Connection mode of main rebound parts and connecting rods
In Jeet Kune Do, once an attack is launched, it is emphasized to seize the opportunity, continue to attack and then attack, and strive to quickly destroy the opponent, so as not to let the opponent have any chance to recover his counterattack ability. The same is true for the use of nunchakus. How to ensure a coherent and effective attack in actual combat? The key is to skillfully use the rebound of body parts and change hands conveniently. This section introduces you to the main rebound parts of nunchakus and the connection method.
First, the main rebound parts
Every movement route of nunchakus can be reversed and continuous. When the action is about to run out, the second action can be easily started and accelerated by using the rebound of the body parts on the nunchaku free stick (the stick in the nunchaku action) and the force of the stick holder to pull back the main stick (the stick in hand) or turn the wrist in the target direction. The main rebound parts of nunchakus are: shoulders, upper arms and waist. Many beginners are often injured by a stick for fear of being injured by a stick when learning the whipping technique of using a rebound free stick on their body parts. In fact, although the speed of the free stick is very fast at the beginning, due to the movement of the main stick to a proper position and the subtle wrist strap, the lethality of the free stick can only reach the maximum effect in the production area covered by the arc when it forms a straight line with the main stick from the starting point to the braking. At this time, the whipping explosive force of nunchakus will all condense at the end of the stick, and then the free stick will become a spent force, and it will not be enough to hurt or even hurt itself when it rebounds. Beginners only need to follow the technical essentials accurately and ensure that they are in place correctly, so they can quickly master the rebound skills and stick to them coherently. This paper only introduces five basic springback positions, which are not fixed. Because the same rebound part can use the same side or different sides, and can also change the posture to form different rebound angles to match the action, after mastering the basic skills, learners can design and flexibly use the same thing according to their own experience and basic principles, which is the same when learning other martial arts.
