your the best teacher iv found on line. iv watched others but you break it down so i understand it. iv watched your videos in slow motion to clearly see what your hands are doing and practiced, practiced, practiced. love your since of humor and your not afraid to show yourself drop the chucks and make simple mistakes which we all do. your only human like the rest of us. anyway id really love to learn the tornado spin. iv watched this one video several times but just cant seem to get it. its like the figure 8 cross over but a different beat, or rythem. if anyone can teach me you can. so can you please post a training video on the tornado spin.BTW if you included some slow-mo shots that would be great. thank you for your time, ill keep an eye out on U-tube.
aurelion sol yeah its true most people that can use nunchaku say with me your nunchaku to long you need to short it as long as your palm my palm is 8-9 bullets and my nunchaku the chain is 14 bullets 😂😂😂😂 but im not yet to short it cuz i always forgot '_-
I'm going to try moving my hands along the grip or a quick drop or raise of the catching hand. I like the way the chain is I don't want to give up the weapons reach you know?
thank you ken. I still need a chuck in CA. i know the figure 8, but not this up roll/flip...it's nice......and i already know the one hand back roll plus front roll but now with two hands like this.......thank you thank you thank you.
Ken: This is the clearest, most helpful RU-vid tutorial I've encountered in a long time! Thank you for cutting through the junk and publishing something that really helps. You're an excellent teacher. Is there some way I can contribute to your cause?
This video is great help but I just don't seem to be able to do it I can't seem to be able to to get my right hand to open up and grab the other chuck it always misses. I'm still always practicing but I don't seem to get it. I understand if I'm to young because I'm only 12 but I just can't do it. But still, on the bright side your still a great teacher and I like every one of your videos!
Im 19 and im struggling like hell to do it, i allways quote bruce lee who says to be like water. What he means is to let all your motios with the nunchuck be fluid as possiable. I cant do it so i do a basic transtion which he shows at the start of the video. Now ive only been doing it a week and i used to use nunchucks when i was 12 but ive started doing it again, youll get the hang of it one day
i been doun front to back what u doin at the begiining ever since i was 6 or so. drum sticks, baseball bats, nunchuks, sticks brooms etc. my first pairr of wooden nunchucks i was 6 or 7 but im 28 now an wanting a bigger pair
Hello Sir. I require your help. Do these rolls works on every sized nunchucks or there is any specific length of chain?... The problem is after the roll, some part of the rod remains in my hand and most of the time only chain remains in my hand. So it is difficult to roll with that position. Please help me out.
Hi 1st time I saw your vids and your tutorials are amazing. Just one question, not sure if it was asked already but whats you ideal chain length? I had the impression before that it cant be shorter than the width of the palm but what is the ideal length? Thanks!
Great videos and great work bro! I feel your enthusiasm and passion which goes a long way! Que: why does my hand/fingers gravitate toward spinning the chain? I'll make a vlogs and I'm going to make video from free flow Cambodia you should of been there bro, sounds like your vibe!
I have been trying to practise this but I'm having trouble. Whenever I try and roll it I end up with the chain in my hand. I swear I'm not reaching for it, looking at my pair of chucks I've noticed that the length of the chain on mine means it wraps completely around my hand :/ Any suggestions?
I would advise against oak if you are starting out. I found it best to start out with padded chucks, then I moved onto wood chucks with a rope for something different. Also have an oak pair with a chain, but while I'm still very much an amateur I stay away from them. They hurt like hell if you miss a grab or something and whack yourself in the arm or head.
I have practiced the wrist rolls befor i watched your vids, now i can di them sooo easy ;) i have done them with one hand, whats the name of that ?? (two-handed they are wrist rolls but one-handed?)
Mr Ken, I've been trying it for some time, but the nunchaku just keeps slipping out of my hand. Any suggestions. (P.S. My Kwang Jeon Nim said my nunchaku is good enough.)
Wtf help ME .... idk if my chain is too long BUT when I do the back to back it rather....... I end up holding in the middle of the chain.... OR I can’t do it infinity because I end up catching the nunchuck too low, not on the chain but my little finger is basically almost off the end so i can’t get enough grip to do it and that happens all the time.. another thing is it will end up hitting the other nunchuck . But main one is grip ends up too low and I can’t do it more than once because grips too low or the chain bounces after doing one but of course the way to fix that is just keep swinging but because I grip too low it’s hard and I’ve tried to adjust grip holding it lower but it ends up in the same place Idk what to do but my nunchuck looks like it’s going to the same point around my wrist as yours so I don’t think it’s too long?
ken hill I use a chain one foam from amazon lol it was like £10 I mean it feels okay it’s metal inside rather than a pvc pipe thing most have so I think it’s a better one than some Is the other nunchuck meant to touch the other? Basically when I’m doing anything like spin it like you hear it hit the other one but then I know you say well let go earlier lol but then it will fail though I tend to do it on natural feeling and instinct Is the chain when doing the tricks meant to go around the back of hand OR The wrist ? I can happily do all apart from back to back infinite one i just cannot do it more than twice without it like rather httting the other chick and failing or it just flies off lol it’s Somthing about that trick that I’m not made to do for some reason I guess i can’t really know unless I do it and find out or maybe I can use my iPhone slow motion and watch it and I’ll see what’s causing it
ken, what happened to the rest of the video. i can master the rip, but im struggling to get it continuous rolling on the hand itself. keep up the awesome tutorials :D
Helloooo KEN , can you please make a video for te infinitive back to back grip , cause I can do the RIPS from left to rigt and the other way, but the infinitive wrist roll , I just can't understand how you explain it Ken , and that makes it so far more difficult for me to learn a figure 8 wristroll. I LOVE your TUTORIALS but this one ; ( The infinitive WRISTROLL I just can't do it ) My name is Gert Baerts from EUROPE BELGIUM and I learned already a lot from you , even more than the figure 8 WRISTROLL " the figure 8 WRISTROLL I also can't do yet because I do't understand the infinitive back to back grip " ( but the infinitive WRISTROLL I just don't understand how you alway's get it into a back to back grip again. !!!! If you have time I really would appreciate , otherwise I just have to find another way to learn it. YOU ROCK KEN & thank you alot for all your time .!!!!!
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing. Btw, I am shooting to be the FASTEST ever with nunchaku. Still working on it. Please watch,my latest video,"BRUCE LEE STYLE NUNCHAKU". I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks, maurice
