yesterday in taekwondo we practiced nunchaku. at the beginning of class my sahbumnim gave me the option of either kicking or nunchaku. ummm, hi...nunchaku, thanks. nunchaku is cool. its the one martial art weapon i so want to learn. after the student handed me a pair i started playing around with them. i felt all bruce lee like even though i didn't know what i was doing.
we spent the whole class practicing nunchaku. it was a blast. although i'm beginning to realize that i'm definitely lacking in cordination. note to self: must work on this. i did manage to get down the first half of what sahbumnim showed us. there are a few moves that i still haven't quite mastered. of course when we are doing it slow i have no problem. its when we have to do it fast that i start to feel like a spaz. although while looking around the class, i noticed i'm not the only one. there were lots of times when i got hit with the nunchaku. either on my back, hands, head, etc. it was something like this…
however, i'm determined to master this fine art. it gets me excited. i'm going to ask sahbumnim or kwanjangnim where i can buy some so i can practice at home. yesterday's class was exactly what i needed to inspire me once more. i just hope we get to do it more often. one of these days i'm going to look like this...
or perhaps become a ninja...
or even have my very own poster...
until then a boy can dream can't he...
be well...

i'm pretty sure Nerf makes nerf-chucks...or you could probably make some soft foamy ones until you get it down. unless you truely enjoy whacking yourself with sticks on chains....i know i do
Nunchakus? You rock Ethan. Don't hit yourself in the goolies though.
or maybe just wear a helmet.
Helmet on your goolies?
no that would be a helmet for the old noggin and a cup for the goolies.
This is the coolest thing ever! Don't knock yourself out though. You will be the gay Bruce Lee. I can see it now...saving the streets of SF and protector of the Castro.
