1.0 out of 5 stars lousy structure, photos sometimes non-coherent, December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nunchaku: The Complete Training Guide (Paperback)

This book has no merit as an insructional guide. The photos many times make no sense to the description given. There is no succession from basic to advanced techniques.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, February 19, 2001

christian (usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nunchaku: The Complete Training Guide (Paperback)

Beginners will find this book very hard to follow. Mostly basic techniques. Pictures are not the best but experienced people won't have much difficulty in following.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion..., October 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nunchaku: The Complete Training Guide (Paperback)

This book is one of the most advanced of it's kind. Some people may disagree. If you do not pick up your nunchaku and read this book from cover to cover first and try to understand the techniques fully before you attempt. You will value this book greatly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very complete
It doesn't tell you what each move is used for. Sometimes the pictures don't correlate, making it hard to follow. I suggest "The Basic Training Guide".

2.0 out of 5 stars An o.k. book, but somtimes the pics don't correlate.
It would have been better if they showed what each move could be used for. And it wasn't very complete
