How To Use Nunchucks

By Jason Taingahue
Do you want to learn how to use nunchucks? If you have answered yes to this question then read on and I will explain to you how you can become good at using nun chucks.

But before we learn how to use the nun chucks lets take a brief look at the history of the nunchucks first. The nunchucks were originally used to crush rice before they were an actual weapon. It wasn't until a little while after they were used to crush rice that they were actually used for war fare. We can clearly see through various kung fu movies that the use of nunchucks became very dominant and especially from the likes of a kung fu expert Bruce Lee, who revolutionized the nun chucks into the movie scene.

When you are learning how to use the nun chucks the most common of the nunchucks that you would see is the one with 2 even pieces of wood on each side with a chain in the middle that holds them both together. And usually they nunchucks have a design on each of the pieces of wood in the way of a dragon or some Chinese writing. Although there are also three and four baton nunchucks that are all linked together as well.

So where can you learn how to use nunchucks? The first and most important thing to do before you use or even buy nunchucks is to find a karate or kung fu school that teaches you how to use nunchucks. The good thing about learning how to use nunchucks this way is that they teach you the history behind the nun chucks and they actually have different styles for using the nun chucks as well, so go and ask around or try a few out.

Whatever style that you choose to use when learning how to use the nun chucks, remember that if you want to become good at using the nunchucks then you are going to have to practice a lot, just like any good nunchuck user has done as well. I mean imagine not practicing and trying to swing the nunchucks around. You will probably end up swinging them and hitting yourself somewhere with them.

One last thing that I can tell you when learning how to use the nunchucks is to try out various weights with each different set of nunchucks and see which one suit you best. I would rather use the lighter ones myself, but you may need something different. It all depends on what you want to use then for at the end of the day.

Well I hope that has given you an insight on how you can go about using nunchucks and if you think that you are going to learn how to use nunchucks by teaching yourself then I would advise you to use some protective clothing, especially a groin guard and a face mask or head guard just to be on the safe side.

Well all the best on how to use nunchucks and remember to practice religiously, anyone can learn how to use nunchucks and everyone has that warrior instinct inside them, it's just a case of getting it out and training the mind to adapt accordingly. Start off slowly and then work your way up to an adaptable speed, this is the only way that you can become the best at what ever you are doing.
