Mobility and Explosiveness

Mobility and Explosiveness
IIn combat, you want to be mobile and explosive. The nunchaku is your weapon—the extension of your body—and must be able to strike its target effectively. For this reason, a motoric, dynamic stance is essential. A stance that allows movement offers great advantages. Through training in kata and targeted exercises, you primarily develop the rear leg, which is responsible for push-off, acceleration, and escape. Keep the heel of the rear leg lightly off the ground, like a sprinter before the start. This posture makes it possible to react explosively at any moment: for an attack, a repositioning, or a rapid  escape. This mobility is trained through conscious and repeated practice: again and again lifting the heel of the rear leg without losing relaxation. In this way, the body remains alert, movements stay light, and reactions remain immediate. Mobility creates control. Explosiveness gives the nunchaku its power.
