Secret Techniques and Hints

So why not say hello in our Welcome Lobby and get rid of this message?

I find Breakbeat is just about the perfect tempo for my spinning, but I am generally quite relaxed.. Rarely have enough rage to keep up with gabber techno..

Nice advice Matt, I appreciate your advice and it sounds like ready to try using a lighter stick 3/4 inch but with lengthening your string as much as an inch at a time. as the length increases the nunchaku become more versatile, more massive in motion and with many more "move options" you will be more challanged and you will add a great deal to your repreture just because there are more flowing options. checkdisshitout man.

I should also say a word about flowing. Moves where you stop should be kept to a minimum if you want to keep safety first. stopping equals jaring of the joints and a necessary slowing repetitively. shure I practice some stoping moves but I try to keep it to a minimum.

the link is fine dude 

i watched the vid and you've got some serious flow goin on!! i was instantly impressed. the part at 0:40 is touching on a technique i call faith aerials,, basically where you continue to recycle the momentum from a previous aerial into the next one without any extra spins,.


the whole cord length thing though,, im not totally sure on,, ive experimented with all types of variants, i find anything under 2.5" to be too short which makes it not very versatile, but anything over 6" seems to lose its " connectivity" if you know what i mean.
 both short and long have their individual advantages but over time ive seemed to make the cord shorter,, the more i use aerials and wrist spins the shorter the cord got, due to the increase of speed the rotations got sharper and tighter.

the type of chucks you were using in your vid i find to be super effective for striking and doing wide arcs though! im a big fan of thin chucks for striking,, they just feel right to me    also for flow, i agree longer cords are very effective, but for me i dont tend to flow as such,, more like crash!

check out my latest vid,, ive done a few different faith aerials that might give you some idea's for new tricks,,


oh, and out of interest, are you entering the World Cup this year??

hell yea man. good tips 

[Stickmanwalking]

Very good list, I would like to add:
1. Anything you can do with your right hand you can do with your left, backwards and forwards. Explore every new move like this and there will always be a new move to learn.
2. Use and learn to use all types of nunchaku, but practice with the heavy ones!
3. Fold up your shirt and put it on the top of your head under a ball cap, a great makeshift helmet when learning moves around the head.
4. If you crack yourself with the the chucks, keep chuckin, if you stop it swells up worse.
5. Jam what you flow to, mostly heavy metal for me!

Or more importantly, when doing singles, use 2 hands

when practicing on grass, make sure the area is clear of doggy doo.

(this is especially important if you plan on doing any groundwork ie yeti summersaults)
