Piquée Claque

Piquée (punch)
The piquée is the directed thrusting movement toward the target. This technique requires focus, correct distance, and proper alignment of body, arm, and nunchaku. The piquée marks the beginning of the action and determines the quality of everything that follows.

Claque (sound)
The claque is the exact moment of impact. It occurs when the nunchaku is fully extended and the cord limits the second section. The audible sound (clac or klak) confirms that timing, speed, and distance are correct. This moment is brief and demands complete concentration; there is no time to linger in the impact.
