| Considered one of the world's leading martial artists, Fumio Demura is an authority in kobudo. Originally adapted from farm tools, the nunchaku consists of two pieces of wood of various lengths that are joined together by rope (originally, horse hair) or a chain (originally, the bit from a horse's bridle) to create a formidable weapon of self-defense. More recently, the nunchaku is also used in tournaments. Indeed, audiences are consistently impressed with martial artists' dazzling and innovative routines using the nunchaku. In this DVD, Demura teaches the proper way to apply the nunchaku in self-defense. Instruction for proper grips, stances, swings, strikes, blocks and a basic beginner's kata are also covered in this volume. It is recommended that viewers learn the fundamentals of each technique before attempting the more exotic moves. |
