This is the funniest thing that I have ever seen!www.nunchaku.tv
To me this is what gives the Nunchaku a bad name. These guys in the videos look to me more like baton twirlers or river dancers than martial artists. There is so much more to the nunchaku than these competitions and demos demonstrate.
Where are the real kubudo artists? These guys are jugglers.

LeeGreg89 - step AWAY from the Nunchaku - put them down -go to the gym - lift, eat, sleep repeat.

You'll learn more by getting hit by other people.

Hitting yourself is accidental, or just plain stupid.

If you are learning with nunchaku wear a hard hat.

Looks stupid but better than looking stupid knocking yourself out until you get proficient with them!
