My Nunchaku background

Of course as many of us, the first time I've seen nunchaku was Bruce Lee film and it happened in early 70-s of the last century. Since then I am crazy fanatic of this thing. I have made many different nunchaku for myself and for my friends. I am continuously practicing all this years. I have many original ideas about material, cording and shapes. I have developed my own training methodology and techniques. I had and have many students. This blog is for sharing my knowledge and experience with you, my dear friends.

I want to dedicate this blog to my son Nuri. He has started learning nunchaku when he was 7 years old. I want to pass him all of my knowledge about nunchaku and also build for him most effective studying program which will be published here as well.

Nunchaku means bistick, it is just a pair of sticks connected with a rope. I want to take off all this “magic mystic” and “scary eastern” terminology, to make it clear about what you are holding in your hands. I don't want also to turn this blog to another place where people will argue about origination of nunchaku. Any of those names either nunchaku (Japanese) or shuang jie gun (Chinese) translated to English as simple as bistick, pair of sticks, double stick etc. No mystics, no magic, no foreign traditions, just workout and understanding. Nunchaku became worldwide well known term and I have decided to use this term on this blog as well. Hope that this will be the only cryptic word here.

HHH
