Nunchucks and throwing knives

[Xet]

Hey I recently picked up 2 nunchucks (training ones - foam on the outside and i think some type of hard plastic on the inside) and some throwing knives.

I picked these up because I would like to do some type of martial arts training while i am unable to go to an actually dojo (didnt do as well in school as i should have)

Anyway does anyone have any good links to training with either of these? I can put up some type of target in my backyard and start practicing throwing with the utmost caution. And i also have a punching bag to practice actual hitting with the nunchucks

Please dont take this as some kid wanting to just play with dangerous toys because I am going to be extremely careful with these and they wont be leaving my house.

Ill go ahead and Say it . Chucks are one of he most Impractical weapons ever invented , even though they look great onscreen

If you HAVE a pair of Chucks and your opponents barehanded just wail on him with them . YOu will win and he will lose .

And dont throw knives , Cut ppl with them . look for Arteries and Veins and slice in Deep ,Straight Lines like youre cutting Cake . There are no "Proffessional Knife Fighters" for a REASON , so only use a Knife when your Opponent dosent have one . You WILL get Cut if they do .

get some gloves and practice punching, not nunchucks. youd be better off practicing with a baseball bat

Return the nunchucks for a refund, then join a boxing gym. In the event someone tries to start shit with you on the street, you will survive by punching the shit out of him- not by screaming and pulling a Michealangelo.

During Vietnam, the government funded a study on how to best throw a knife. The report came back and said, "Don't throw you knife."

lol well i got a few just for fun sorta and a bit of practice (might help my dart game if i ever play ) the nunchucks were like 5 bucks a mainly just for a bit of fun

I also have a regular knife and i got a book from a friend to learn a bit of knife handling

I used to throw knives but for fun only, in a self defence situation im not going to toss my only weapon to the enemy.

With that said im not going to use my knife unless im getting my ass handed to me or the enemy has a knife and I somehow cannot retreat from him, I'd run from a knifefight if possible though.

Chucks are next to useless, too many storys of people wacking the hell out of someone and it didnt phase emm.

On the last of the Dog Brothers videos in the original series is a bunch of clips on fights between a rattan stick and many martial arts weapons. The fact is that the stick is so versatile that it won out pretty much everytime...against chuks, too.

I think throwing knives are a lot of fun, but it would have to be an extremely rare situation where throwing one would be the best option in self-defense. Especially since a skilled knife fighter can gut most people before they can draw a gun.

I've gotten my ass handed to me a few times but never by anyone swinging chucks around a guy pulled out chucks on me once...While he was flailing around, I flicked my cigarette in his face and punced the the crap out of him when he flinched... disclaimer: smoker is bad for your health
