How to get started with nunchucks
How to get started with nunchucks is as follows:
1. Choose sticks:
Girls use 180g nunchucks, boys use 200g nunchucks. Buy stainless steel for learning sticks, and use wooden ones for practical sticks.
2. Requirements for holding the stick:
The flower stick needs to be held at one end of the stick by the chain to facilitate control of the stick and strength.
The actual combat stick requires the hand to be held in the middle of the stick. Firstly, it is not easy to let go during the hitting process, and secondly, it is convenient to exert force.
3. Basic nunchuck skills for beginners:
For fancy nunchucks, you need to practice extending the stick, closing the stick, straight and reverse, changing sticks with left and right hands, triangle flower, and spiral Flowers, etc., exercise coordination and control of the stick, which requires long-term practice. Only by persisting for at least one hour a day for more than three months can you develop solid basic skills, and then do more difficult movements such as stick spinning and stick throwing.
In actual nunchuck combat, while practicing the above movements, you should also strengthen the stick hitting, sweeping, splitting and lifting. Pay attention to the quality of the stick release and retraction. What goes out must be retracted, laying a solid foundation for deeper actual combat training.
