Curt-Man Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 well i really want some nunchuks but i'm pretty sure my mom or dad won't give them to me, and i don't know where in canada i can buy a pair, and i also don't have a credit card so i can't order one, so anyone know any persuasive ways i can get my parents to buy me some? or if you live in canada knwo where to buy some?
BawBag™ Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Just buy a very small skipping rope with wooden handles.
Guest Jed Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Uh, I dunno, listen to your parents? There's probably a good reason why they don't want you to have nunchucks.
El Sitherino Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 If you do get a set, I want video of you putting yourself in a coma when you mess up.
Boba Rhett Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Nunchucks: C'mon, Cowabunga, dude! Say goodbye to your testicles if you get a pair. You will be hitting yourself there. Perhaps go for a padded set? They can't drop a ne'er-do-well but at least you'll be able to father children.
Curt-Man Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 thats why i shall get an instructional video with them, but these are the ones i want: http://www.karatedepot.com/wp-nu-30.html so they are padded so they hurt less, anywho its a big want on my part. and so this thread isn't pointless it will be now known as what weapon(s) do you have or want?
BawBag™ Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 In all seriousness Curt-Man, you maybe should re-consider this purchase. An instructional video won't be able to give you the full potential the training required to actually wield these things would. Not that I'm saying buy them, learn one or two little tricks and bash everyone, but whats the point when you've no proper idea how to use them?
TiE23 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 You'll get whacked in the face, balls, and hands so many freaking times....... STOP PLAYING NINJA GAIDEN! ITS NOT THAT COOL! TiE
Spider AL Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Depends where you live. I prefer to refer to nunchaku as "flails" as they fall under that generic category of weapon. Reason being, that flails of all sorts are pretty much always more dangerous to the inexperienced wielder than they are to the opponent. The motion of the "free end" of flails is comparitively unpredictable, which is what makes them dangerous to newbies... but paradoxically also makes them one of the more dangerous weapons to face, because seemingly erratic motion can conceal a carefully planned strike. In short, the skill of using flails properly take years to learn. You're better off learning how to wield a baseball bat or a short stick if you're looking for a self-defense-related weapon. I mean come on, you won't be carrying flails around the streets with you.
MTV2 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 while your getting numchuks, you should also get a good hard helmet and jockey;)

This is the most hilarious quote EVER. Or maybe it's just me who finds the idea of someone buying nunchuks for fun and amusement to be amazingly funny
Mike Windu Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I'ma go with the rest of these people here and say that you shouldn't get nunchucks... just cos you don't have the training required to not kill yourself with them "God I love being a turtle!"
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I'd say go for it, but if you're not doing it to strengthen you hand-eye coordination, I'd say nay. And sinc you do have parents, I'd also say nay. why not join a class, like Kendo or Epee? I'm probably not the best person to be telling you not to do anything dangerous like that since I've been trying to create my own sword fighting style, and I recently purchased a set of actual katana's for myself, I was practicing with a bunch of pvc pipes before hand, so that may be a route to go if you want to wield something dangerous. I can whip those babies the air with great accuracy now, even when I sharpen them, I have enough confidence to use them. Just keep that in mind.
Curt-Man Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 i don't see why you guys are so scared, i would first buy foam or rubber ones then go to wooden, besides, my friend bought sais, he had no clue how to use them, he now is so crazy with them.
Mike Windu Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 We're not scared. We just know that you cannot wield them properly without training.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Meh, I'd buy them just for fun, to put them in some glass box for me to look at and touch them sometimes. But a katana is so much better.
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad But a katana is so much better. werd... I still have yet to find a better workout than my sword play.
Mike Windu Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Running? I like playing with plastic sabers >_> but I don't have a katana. I'll get one sooner or later and chop stuff with it.
TK-8252 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by Curt-Man i don't see why you guys are so scared Because we want to be able to have children.
El Sitherino Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 *hugs his functional katanas* Chop-chop.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 These weapons are so cool. I wish I had the money to get some of them.
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Originally posted by Mike Windu Running? I like playing with plastic sabers >_> but I don't have a katana. I'll get one sooner or later and chop stuff with it. Yeah, but that isn't as mentally challenging as sword play is. Oh well, my opinion anyways
