[Richard Baarspul]

In the web of knowledge as pictured in infinite insight vol. 5 the Nunchaku set is mentioned. Does anyone knows this set and is there any written material available?????

i would guess Ed Parker's Nunchaku book? i haven't read it. so i can't say..

[jfarnsworth]

Does the book actually have the form layed out in it? I've never seen nor read the book. I'm only asking.

[Richard Baarspul]

I have the book and it doesn't contain the Nunchaku set....

Full salute,

Richard

He knows it and most likely has it written out -

I'm about 99% sure that Mr. Tatum has it on video.

I don't know about written out though.

I just looked through Larry Tatum's Kenpo Nunchuckas DVD. It doesn't have anything like a set or form. It has some basics and several named self-defense techniques and some really groovy action sequences against multiple attackers.

I recommend it for this stuff alone. I would think it would be great particularly for those higher ranking Kenpo dudes/dudettes who want some more ways to challenge themselves and it looks like a lot of fun (at least if your the one swinging those things.)

BTW, California has some pretty irrational laws against owning/carring/transporting "nunchucks." It seems almost easier to have a handgun than these horrific weapons. Strange...but I digress...

Hey Lori,

Where did you find that?

It's from a book of someone's notes, and they called it Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate, but the assemblers name is not mentioned. I obtained it a couple years ago when my first instructor quit. I figured I could reference it to keep myself caught up until I could find another instructor. Found it on Ebay. From time to time, I still see it for sale.

[jfarnsworth]

Interesting.

I take it that it's a 1 weapon set?

[madeku]

nice.. id have to write that down sometime and try it since i dont have much money to burn and get the Nunchaku Book.. an old roomate of mine taught me alot of the basics. rebound points, chambers, limitations, how to hit, etc. and iv always wanted to incorperate the chucks it to my Kenpo.
