Controlled Recovery After Impact

For controlled recovery of the nunchaku after impact. 
The position of the catching hand is crucial. The hand should be wide open and held at a slight angle, allowing the returning part of the nunchaku to fall into it perpendicularly. This creates a funnel-like shape that naturally guides the nunchaku into the hand. When executed correctly, the result is almost always superior to catching with a half-closed hand or an incorrect angle of entry. (See illustration)
