Back to Basics is not a step backward — it is a return to what truly matters.

Nunchaku de Combat is built on a solid foundation that you can always return to in all three combats. This foundation forms the core of the style and is the base upon which every phase is constructed. Whether you are working in the first combat (control over yourself and the weapon), the second combat (free movement and combinations), or the third combat (application against an opponent), all development begins and ends with the basics.

In every phase, you will encounter moments where progress seems to stagnate. It is precisely at those moments that the basics provide support. By returning to the fundamentals, you restore control, sharpness, and insight—regardless of which combat you are training in.

The internet offers countless techniques, vlogs, and martial arts examples. These can be inspiring, but for the serious nunchaku practitioner, the basics must always remain leading. Striving for perfection in the fundamentals opens the path to better performance—in training, demonstration, and combat. Respect for the weapon, control over oneself, and pure technique form the foundation of all three combats. Without a solid base, there is no progress.

No matter how far you advance in Nunchaku de Combat, one principle always applies: when you lose clarity—whether in training or in daily life—a return to the basics will always provide support. The basics restore a sense of control and mastery, bring calm to body and mind, and rebuild confidence.
