| Shihan-Dai Ben Moeur with nunchaku |
Nunchaku is one of my favorite Okinawan farming tools. But if you decide to learn to use this, don't just be a farmer, be a farmer in angry white pajamas and learn to use it correctly!
The few schools in the Phoenix Valley that teach this tool usually have little expertise and charge an arm and a leg to teach you how to swing it and often people end up with bruises. If you are learning to use one of these with a pair of glow lights attached to a cord, my recommendation would be to search for a new
sensei and
school.
Nunchaku is more or less thought to be indigenous to Okinawa, and thus many of the traditional Shorin-Ryu karate schools teach this weapon along with traditional karate. At our school on the corner of Baseline and MacDonald, we
teach this weapon in both kata and in self-defense. Come join our friendly Okinawan and Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert farmers - we would love to meet you. Our hombu dojo is opened to the public and we are just right down the street from Gilbert Costco and Walmart.
