Nunchaku de Combat is built on a solid foundation to which you can always return 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 training in the first combat — mastery of 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, there are moments when progress seems to stagnate. It is precisely at those moments that the basics reveal their true value. By returning to the fundamentals, control, clarity, and insight are restored. Whether it is a loss of mastery, flow, or timing, the basics always bring you back to clarity.

The internet offers an abundance of techniques, vlogs, and examples from various martial arts. While these can be inspiring, for the serious nunchaku practitioner, the fundamental principles must always remain leading. Striving for perfection in the basics opens the path to better performance — in training, demonstration, and combat. Respect for the weapon, mastery of the self, and pure technique form the foundation of all three combats. Without a solid base, there is no growth.

No matter how far you progress within Nunchaku de Combat, one principle always remains: when clarity is lost — in training or beyond — a return to the basics will always provide support. The basics restore a sense of mastery, bring calm to body and mind, and repeatedly form the starting point for further development.
