This review is from: Nunchaku: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense (Paperback)

This book teaches you everything from what the parts of the nunchuck are called, to how to defend agaist a Bo and Knife. I Highly reccommend this book for beginners. If you are not a beginner I recommend the book "Advanced Nunchaku" by the same author.

This review is from: Nunchaku: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense (Paperback)

Fumio Demura has presented us once again with a solid and superb text on this classical Karate weapon. The text is full of clear and precise photos and detailed explanantions of the basics. Sensei Demura covers the history, basic stances,strikes and blocks of this fascinating weapon. Also covered is a range of defensive techniques against the empty hand and various weapons.This book is a must for the beginner of Karate and Weaponry and even experienced Martial Artists should give it a consider.

5.0 out of 5 stars good applications & technique - no kata, April 30, 1999

This review is from: Nunchaku: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense (Paperback)

Demura does an excellent job of explaining basic techniques and applications for each, expecially for those with a decent martial arts background. Between looking at the pictures and reading the explainations I was able to figure out every technique demonstrated. The only downside was that he didn't include a kata in the book.
