Thank you sir for the upload! I used to train a lot of ju jutsu and did some nunchucks in my spare time, picked up a pair today and want to get back into them, man oh man I predict a lot of hitting my own ribs and elbows with these things though!
This is awesome. I have been using these videos to help me grow as a person with confidence. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial for beginners.your techniques are short and effective. Easy to understand and practice. I learned a lot from you. Thanks.
Very informative and you broke down the movements & instruction well.
Dude love your walkthrough, nice and easy to follow... Also you make it look badass. Good job!!
Thank you very much for the details. You are amazing.
I have several pairs of the rattan chucks. They are fast, lightweight, but don't really inflict that much damage. I have a custom made pair that have a really nice ballbearing system and they are Cocobolo hard wood. Not the fastest but you will get a better workout with mine than with the rattan. They are so hard and could really crack some skull if needed! I have about 15 different pairs in my collection: Mini chucks, Oak, aluminum, collapsable, many colors and shapes. Thanks for sharing the video, It's always nice to learn new things and new tricks. I'm currently teaching one of my students Nunchakus who is completely blind. He's actually doing very well for someone that can't see. Takes your teaching skills to a whole new level.
......the way you execute your drills are very interesting, Sir!
Very motivating and practical training.... Thanks
It is mesmerising to watch how fluently you swing those nunchucks! Like a praying mantis! Thanks for this session. I've now got some nice new exercises to learn
I like the idea of moving more while switching sides with the chucks. Better workout since you're getting your body more involved in the movements. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for everything

Lovely explained dear. Thanks a lot. God bless you. I m abbasi from pakistan. Will keep in touch , regards.
You have some nice skills
Superb. thank you
Awesome totally.
I don't have any Nunchakus to practice with, however absorbing the technique in my mind for now: Thx!!
They are so easy to make with a broom handle and some old laces/drawstring (I like to use paracord). I've made a few pairs at different lengths. You'll feel good using some you made yourself
verry nice, I like this channel
thank you my friend
Thanks!!! Sir.
Nice tutorial
....you execute your drills with purpose, making it easier for a beginner to understand, not just knowing, Sir!
2:52 We will, We will, Rock you
i literally thought the same thing 🤣
Very helpful. I've been wondering how to keep from destroying my own ribs, now I know! Thanks Sensei Michael
+Douglas Bailly Yeah, I call it the don't-hit-yourself methodology. Haha, it is an important aspect of all weapons actually, if you do not consider the proper angle and rotation, you can really mess yourself up with the bo too. And, if it is a sword, well, you know... Thanks for watching.
oh boy !
Very goood
Super mas demo 👌👌👏
Great video. Can you recommend a particular nunchaku that is best for speed? Any links for where I can buy a good pair. I have a pair but they are very heavy.
I would get a lightweight aluminum alloy pair, if you are most interested in speed. Like the Century AL6000 - www.centurymartialarts.com/nunchaku/century-al6000-competition-nunchaku-blue
You guys crack me up holding the sticks up near the top you are giving up not only length but most important power, your giving it all away, think about it
🤫let them learn wrong lol
boss thank you
Regarding the switch overs, it should be said that the way women are able to do it will depend on which life stage they are in. Young women should be told that their anatomy will start dropping around age 40, and dropping more later, making the move easier as they age.
Good during the covid season
more lessons please
Nice vdoes
Hey. I have some Dolan Sports Nunchuckus from the 1980s. Are these recommended for nunchucku training? Good upload!
Foam ones or a basic cocobolo are the best for training in my opinion. All depends on if you're a beginner or advanced.
Could you recommend a good starter nunchaku? Perhaps a padded one? I'm not sure if I should get a cheap pair or if there are better ones out there.
Hi Reid, Yes, a simple padded nunchaku like this - www.amazon.com/Martial-Nunchucks-Nunchaku-Dragon-Pattern/dp/B01DR2XVU8/ - will work fine. A little higher quality is the high density foam one - www.centurymartialarts.com/nunchaku/century-round-dense-foam-nunchaku-yelblk . These will keep you safe as you start your nunchakus training.
UltimateTraining awesome thanks, I just ordered the dense foam yellow black ones
I would like to be your student How do I go about it???
Fantastisk.
Will this class be available at GMAU, with ranks?
We are considering the creation of "Ultimate Chuks 2.0" which would be a GMAU cranking course, check out the Global Martial Arts University youtube channel for new nunchaku classes that will be dropping soon.
Nunchucks I find to be replica to a whales tail. Terrill TC!
16:45 must have hurt:D
But nice video, some good ideas for training:)
do you offer a full course?
Yes, here is my complete "Ultimate Chuks" nunchaku training course: www.blackbeltathome.com/products/ultimate-chuks/
buen chico buen chico
Great video but try holding the nunchucku from the end not the by the string serious power difference and I believe it was how the weapon was designed to be used !!
IN YOUR GMAU WEBSITE I CAN'T SEE THIS COURSE ULTIMATE CHUKS ??
Ultimate Chuks is a legacy course, that is only sold and support on our other website, Black Belt at Home. You can still enroll by purchasing the course, and go through the ranks with instructor grading and support. www.blackbeltathome.com/products/ultimate-chuks/
I loved it. a bit misleading though that the guy in the video course is not you.
What type of nunchuckas are you using Sensei?
These are rattan chain nunchakus from Century - www.centurymartialarts.com/nunchaku/century-hand-carved-rattan-nunchaku-natural
I have these exact same nunchukas
Dear Mike, My son is 6 and practicing Shotokan. His Dojo does not do Nunchucks. He wants to begin and I would like you to send me a link for the Nunchucks you believe would be suitable for him. Foam or padded. Please. Thanks.
These are great for getting started. And, get the 8'' youth size. I hope he has fun learning the nunchaku!
Hi, I've just bought a set of foam nunchucks from Amazon...I used to practice a little when I was about 15. I am now 52.( so pretty much a newbe again )
I'm very short 4ft 11in and very round. Basically I want to practice with them to help me lose weight and tone my upper arms and shoulders. (with dieting of course).
I was wondering, and would like an honest answer? Am I kidding myself? Am I too old?
Thanks
Liz
Liz, You're definitely not kidding yourself, you're on the right track. First, foam nunchakus are definitely safer, but you will need to train for a good 45 minutes to an hours for a nice cardio workout, this will be a good way to ease into the toning as well. Once you feel pretty good with this, you'll want to get a bamboo chain nunchakus, or something like this, made of wood. More weight will help you tone much faster. I do have a course you might want to consider. Or, couple this with shotokan or bo training. I recommend you getting a set and guided course, or some way to stay on track, and consistently improving each week. If not, this could fizzle our fast, and the goal you have could fall by the wayside. I'm here for you if you need me!
Hey Liz, how many folks did you ask this question, hm...?
Liz did you ever start training with nunchuks? If so how did it go? I'm considering the same thing but with the bo also. My son wants to learn nunchuks and he is trained in bo staff up to Brown belt so he's going to do them both with me.
warum springt der? :-D
I would love to practice this. I tried it out in my Kung Fu class years ago. I recently thought I would relearn the forms I learned. Turns out it is a felony to possess wooden sticks with a rope attaching them. So I skipped these dangerous devices and decided to get a AR-15 instead since it is way more legal and safe (sarcasm.) On a serious note how do I get them as someone who wants to brush up on my skills?
How would you buy a pair of nunchakus? Most of the time, you can buy online and have them shipped to you, or make them yourself. But, yes, there are local weapon laws you need to be aware of, especially for transporting them or carrying them in public.
In California you can't even purchase them. You can essentially. But the websites say it will not make it to your doorstep. I did actually find a video on how to make them. Which was interesting. I just don't like the law. It seems more anti Chinese culture than a way to protect citizens from dangerous weapons.
When I lived In California, I used to get them shipped to me all the time but then again I used to sell martial arts supplies online. They are illegal in CA. except for the foam practice ones. It's not like your going to kill anyone with the foam ones right. Maybe smack a couple of flying bugs or to. So here's the deal...when I lived in CA. I've been practising with them since I was a kid but just get yourself a pair of wooden ones but don't get caught walking in the street with them. workout with them inside your house, garage or backyard.
let me know when you get good with them
Made me chuckle...I saw that too...this is not the vid I'd expected. He tried. Exercise without the music, with nunchucks...gotta love it. Entertaining, but your comment wins the prize as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, needed that...
Let me know when he starts to hold them correctly lmao
@@Rouricht there is no correct way to hold nunchaku in terms of where ur holding it I feel comfortable holding the very top of the stick and holding the top of the stick of the nunchaku also give you better control doing tricks
I needed that laugh as well. Holding towards the ends leaves them unbalanced in your hands. Not to mention that he's showing beginners how to do strikes and blocks lmao. First thing my teacher said learn the basics first...👍😛
@@exclxded I always favored the top myself cause it allowed me to move my hands to the chain for faster spinning. 👍😎
I was taught to grab the nunchaku far from the chain, at the bottom, not close because you lose a lot of range in a fight. If you want to freestyle and look cool, then yes, grab it close to the chain
@@logan-pl2wf I can see that, but the increase in range makes up for that, specially in combat. I used to fight with nunchakus (Dutch combat rules with foam ones) and you'd lose 100% of the time if you had less range. In fact, categories are by height and not by weight as in all other combat sports or martial arts. At least how I was taught. And trust me, we had lots of control =)
@@logan-pl2wf not if you know how maneuver them with the wrist ( emphasis wrist )
Even nanchaku training can get tiring. Swing it around for an hour and its quite a workout.
Well shit...this whole workout 💀🔥

minuto 5.55, sono la rodilla xdd
you should never strike like that with the Nunchaku
You wasted the first five minutes with hopping like an i.... with the nunchucks in your hand. and then you hit your left leg 5:57. Your reaction is hilarious
i think the string is too long
Beginners need to learn the basics first Before they learn how to use them for defense. I practiced for well over a year with the foam nunchakus before I moved to a heavier pair. Most Martial Arts suppliers sell a chart for the nunchaku kata.. It's a great learning tool. Am I wrong or are you showing beginners how to fight/ defend with them??????
did anyone else notice there as something wrong wit his foot
you have not mastered the sticks why you trying to teach
Think he's related to Jake mace?
Um, a lot of ladies haven't been able to do jumping jacks since age 13. For 2 reasons. Until martial arts warms ups are gender neutral, women will never gravitate toward martial arts. There are ways to warm up that don't involve intense bouncing.
