Thanks for the comment, I didn't see where you posted a video, however, the chux you are seeing here are plenty lethal. I love people that make comments on subjects they know so little of. Thanks for playing!!
Master Lee is one of the most fluid nunchaku practitioners that I have had the privilege to watch. I am a Sensei in Shotokan ( Goju Ryu) and easily recognize the skill he exhibits. Osu.
I appreciate your position and the respect in which you deliver it. I may have missed hitting the mark with my point. Each individual, regardless of where there are from in the world, follows the same patterns when it comes to motion, Whether it's kicking, punching, golfing or playing tennis. The patterns are universal. There is no reinventing the wheel. These patterns of motion existed even before your masters started studying them. They are inherent to all humans that are doing any movement.
Wow Royceellion you are a 10th degree black belt and master of the iron body all at 20 years old. Please forgive me for ever doubting your credentials.
Yes, with determination you can do anything with anything. It is all a matter of what you are willing to put up with and deal with in the process. I learned to surf on a board that had cracks and would waterlog immediately. It was the only board I could surf with until I got tired of fighting with it and had Rozzo make me a board. I then wondered how I ever learned to surf at all with my old board. So yes, you could, do you want to? I can ship the chux anywhere you are.
those guys have no idea what they are talking about. this is lee barden. if there was a master of nunchaku, ever, it has to be him. hes a living nunchaku legend,and this nice old little movie clip here is a piece of history, thanks for the upload!
Because with Prochux you can hold the chuck anywhere you want still have complete control over the chux. Unlike traditional long chain chuck which can only be held high to gain alittle control over them.
the hair... the trophies... the side shot of him wailing on his balls and calling it a double clutch... pure awesomeness of karate video. you earned a subscribe my friend.
I consider myself a "traditional" nunchaku practicioner, so I know demos like this are supposed to rile me up and make me go on some sort of rant, but I really like these videos. Mr. Barden obviously is highly talented and practiced extremely hard to get to the point where he can not only demonstrate at this skill level, but ALSO to be able to explain it. Last time I checked, this sort of mastery was the goal of martial arts, no?
For you, I like that you added that, for you. Most people make a more absolute statement. To anyone that has spent the time to really make an assessment like yours, wouldn't because they know that the shorter string is actually very valuable. I bet if you spent even 1 hour on them you would change your assessment. (an hour with tutoring) But, that's why there is a comment section, to show what each other knows or in this case doesn't know. Thanks for the comment, comeback and play again.
Love this weapon system. Bought a pair of his chux ( the best pair I have ever owned, and the tapes. Worth having.....really makes sense and looks good too. Watched his daughter and him perform in Tampa and took a class at the Superfoot convention. This was my favorite part of the weekend. Love it. If they are still available...it's worth learning..Yea Lee Barden!!!!
Or you can come to Jacksonville and Lee can help you learn some new moves also. If you type Lee Barden you can see some of his combat and breaking with prochux.
Continued: My take on it is that a traditional martial art is un-modified from it's original form. i.e Shotokan Karate, Japanese Ju Jitsu, Shaolin Kung Fu. A modern Martial art is one that has been forward developed from it's orginal form. BJJ, JKD. You could say that Akido and Judo are therefore must be considered modern martial arts. Modern martial arts are more applicable for today becasue we no longer wear Samuri armour or farm with rice flails etc.
Disculpar mi intervencion, aquí vemos sin duda a un experienciado en doble barra, logrando visiblemente éxitos probablemente durante décadas. Recibimos impresionante mostración de la efectividad rompiendo esa madera varias veces. Si el Señor Maestro Lee Barden así desea titularse, en referencia a sus habilidades aqui mostradas es primero para RESPETARLO. A casi 1.000 personas nos ha gustado la demostración en este vídeo espectacular. Es una verdadera verguenza como algunos ignorantes sobrados, faltan de tal manera inferior el RESPETO a este experimentado hombre honrado con conocido nombre. Muchas Gracias Señor Maestro Lee Barden, por compartir con todos nosotros su impresionante inspiracion con la doble barra. Un Cordial Saludo!
The reason he is wearing a gi and a blackbelt is because he is a MARTIAL ARTIST. You who have nothing better to do in your life than criticize that which you do not understand. Master Lee Barden is a 7th degree blackbelt, and has been studying the martial arts longer than you have been alive. So when you have learned some respect for those who came before you, please come back to my pages and leave your comments, but until then go and train and you learn the meaning of respect!
Thank you. In a couple of months I will have an online Dojo teaching the chux as well as any art and technique available taught by World Champions like David Douglas, Casey Marks and such. Lee
I would love to see your video. I personally don't want to get into a knife fight to find out that it is dangerous. I can get as close to reality as I like, stay my ass out of trouble and be just fine without having my teeth knocked out for fun. I respect those that do. If it is brought to me, I will respond in full. I learned the Martial Arts to keep from getting hurt, not to volunteer for it.
What is your point as it relates to this video. Have you ever seen or fought Lee Barden? If not then you do not know what he is capable of doing or not doing.
No chains those are ropes. They are lighter than most older style chucks but these were designed for speed and the short rope allows for more control of the chux.
@tybilly You can freestyle with any kind of chucks you want. When I was a kid I would use homemade chucks. The chucks in this video have a shorter cord than traditional Okinawan Nunchaku. The shorter cord might be more suited for free style. But I say, use what you have.
Part 2. Different regions of the world took pieces from the bigger picture and called it their own. Korea kicking, Japanese punching and lower kicks, Chinese flow. There is a constant between all the Arts and that is flow follows precise patterns. That is where the Older than Tradition part I was referring to came in. The newer than tomorrow statement refers to, if you study and follow the inherent patterns, you can progress to the fullest potential of the art because, it is a Truth. Thanks.
Thanks for that post, I was about to short the chain of my nunchaku, now I´m sure that I should do it. I have too spend too much force roling it because of it´s chain size.
First of all, us 'yank' martial artists are not fat, we are built like westerners. Its amazing how tall and muscular one's build can be when not raised on a diet of fish and rice. Secondly, prochux are designed for speed and ease of control, to train freestyle and technique, lets see you do these moves with something as big as your wrist. And trust me, these things HIT as hard as any normal nunchaku.
hi im a nunchaku practitioner and located in london, can you please tell me if you know of anyone who teaches nunchaku here because i have only mastered basic, thanks...
how come his nunchucks are tied really close together... i mean the rope(or whatever) thats on you guys know what i mean... anywayz.. i think the one that we are using has about 3-4 inches distance depending on size of the chucks..? nothing just thinking,,
hello, i dont know if this is master lee barden, but i am interested in the video series(i am a blue belt in fu jow pai kung fu) and i was wondering where i could find them on the site, i looked around but i could't find it. Master lee is wicked fast man. also, the ProChucks look pretty good, i might get some :)
Apocolypsolo00 Really, show me would you? You sound as though you know this for a fact, would you mind posting the link of you doing this. I know it is easier to do everything with the ProChux, but I would like to see your expertise on the subject.
@karatevideoguy I would disagree, but I guess it is all dependent on what you are used to. I prefer a longer chain (chain swivel) because I have more control over them. In reality it is all personal preference.
No problem at all. As you can tell, Prochux don't "look" like stereotypical nunchaku. Master Barden will ship them to you labeled as "puzzle stix". You can get the string a special way so it is two loops that hook together, they ship seperated. :) Message Master Barden and ask for a set of puzzle stix. You WILL get your Prochux! They are worth it. Message me for more info if you want.
well if you want ALL the power to land on the target then you have to hit flat on it so that it bounces back. if it skims across the target, then that means some of the energy is used for the hit, while the rest is so that it continues the motion.
I wish someone would do a nunchaku real fight aplication video that showed real hard core sparring with other stick weapons and few rules so they could kick punch and grapple.Like Dog Brothers attitude of " If you see it taught you see it fought" new pro style chucks (short string) are easy to control and more consistant. I have a feeling I will have to make the equivalent from a tougher material such as rattan to withstand the rigors of real contact sparring. May make video myself.
It leaves you speechless because you don't have 33 years of experience for a reference point. Matt is good at the martial arts. He is OK at the chux. I can't wait to see your video. I won't argue with you, there is no point. You have already in your mind what you think is good. Jesus could walk up to you now and tell you the truth but that would not change what you think. Good luck with your vision of the future.
nunchucks to sum is a great way to learn how to use a steady weapon to others its a great talent and Hobie to do so to each is own to however criticize his nunchaku skills
@geoman1234 sometimes you have to clutch or bounce it off the body for fast and strong recoils. this is an inside thigh and shoulder clutch drill. still funnybthough, ROFLMAO
There were no out outakes that I remember but if there were it wasn't much maybe a stutter or mis-pronounced word or two. But, glad you like what you see.

Glad to see there are people who still have a clue who Lee is.
☝️👍
The intro music ... the hairstyle ... damn, this is pure 90s stuff! AWESOME!
In my opinion Prochux are the best chux to freestyle with!
Because with Prochux you can hold the chuck anywhere you want still have complete control over the chux. Unlike traditional long chain chuck which can only be held high to gain alittle control over them.
the hair... the trophies... the side shot of him wailing on his balls and calling it a double clutch... pure awesomeness of karate video. you earned a subscribe my friend.
wow, didn't realize the speed chucks used in competitions were so thin and had such short chains
awesome Barden hes a legend
Thanks.
Your right those are defenitely not cheap knockoffs. I should have said the influence ProChux has and will have on the Short rope phenomenon.
Excellent techniques. Always enjoyed the Nunchaku! Never saw Nunchaku breaking before. Would like to see more of this video. Thanks!
the bob ross of nunchaku
Wow. I have tremendous respect for this sensei's technique.
Thanks. That was 11 years ago. And the Raver's love this.

He was great then . . . and probably still very good. He is on DVD#4 doing some very sick tricks you should check it out

wait is it now at that one church on fort Caroline rd. it changes so much i can never remember

I have contacted you and invited you to come to our dojo and show us your enlighten master and his skills but you have not shown up as of yet.
@Napilnik2007 please checkout lee's combat videos. just type in lee barden combat. The Prochux do not bounce back like old style nunchaku.
You can get them at blacknbluevideo dot com go the the ESTORE and the select Nunchaku/Chux
Part 2. Different regions of the world took pieces from the bigger picture and called it their own. Korea kicking, Japanese punching and lower kicks, Chinese flow.

"You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys?"
nice training,this guy is an awesome sempai
How big do you think they need to be???
I'd love to see the out-takes for some of these moves. Sheer 'You've been framed material'.
@evesplittheatom is it true he has a fist in his beard?
Where can I get those Nunchakus
@bobbycamp101
It's more of an art form than a practical combat technique. The flashiness is all part of the beauty of the art.
@shilamounainai8 it's amazing you can say that with a straight face. good luck on your journey.
as of now you have just invited me to your dojo but the thing is i have no clue where it is so if you wouldnt mind to enlighten me it would be helpful
Thanks for that post, I was about to short the chain of my nunchaku, now I´m sure that I should do it. I have too spend too much force roling it because of it´s chain size.
Where do I get those ProChux?
Not in Germany. At least I haven't found a shop which sells them...
Greetings from Austria ;)
"I learned the Martial Arts to keep from getting hurt, not to volunteer for it." I agree lol
go to blacknbluevideo dot com and go the the eStore and then select the Nunchaku/Chux catergory.
Lol that's a burn. Kudos, KVG
And what makes you think that?
I saw your vid nice skills.
Why is there so little chain in his chuck?
First of all, us 'yank' martial artists are not fat, we are built like westerners. Its amazing how tall and muscular one's build can be when not raised on a diet of fish and rice. Secondly, prochux are designed for speed and ease of control, to train freestyle and technique, lets see you do these moves with something as big as your wrist. And trust me, these things HIT as hard as any normal nunchaku.
do people actually carry Nunchakus around? as like a self defense? or is it just like a sport?
I watched it, what is it you want me to say or do. You are a good juggler!
hi im a nunchaku practitioner and located in london, can you please tell me if you know of anyone who teaches nunchaku here because i have only mastered basic, thanks...
@whtukall
Yea, what he is using is called a "speed chuck" which isn't for martial arts at all.
how come his nunchucks are tied really close together... i mean the rope(or whatever) thats on you guys know what i mean... anywayz.. i think the one that we are using has about 3-4 inches distance depending on size of the chucks..? nothing just thinking,,
man he rocks that mullet
Ah, that diagonal stroke is real power!!
is he using metal chucks?
this guy is the bob ross of nunchucks
That's some hot mullet action.
hello, i dont know if this is master lee barden, but i am interested in the video series(i am a blue belt in fu jow pai kung fu) and i was wondering where i could find them on the site, i looked around but i could't find it. Master lee is wicked fast man. also, the ProChucks look pretty good, i might get some :)

I do love his haircut..
@karatevideoguy
I would disagree, but I guess it is all dependent on what you are used to. I prefer a longer chain (chain swivel) because I have more control over them. In reality it is all personal preference.
Every time I watch that intro I feel like I went to the 60's
That is correct. An advanced system of weapons for the beginning weapons enthusiast.
Yes it was edited orginally on a video toaster.
At the end, He almost took out one of his trophies with that last strike! LOL!
If your gonna shatter boards, I recommend doing it outside.
No problem at all. As you can tell, Prochux don't "look" like stereotypical nunchaku. Master Barden will ship them to you labeled as "puzzle stix". You can get the string a special way so it is two loops that hook together, they ship seperated. :)

This nunchako is not so short?
It leaves you speechless because you don't have 33 years of experience for a reference point. Matt is good at the martial arts. He is OK at the chux. I can't wait to see your video. I won't argue with you, there is no point. You have already in your mind what you think is good. Jesus could walk up to you now and tell you the truth but that would not change what you think.

Is that where yours are?
nunchucks to sum is a great way to learn how to use a steady weapon to others its a great talent and Hobie to do so to each is own to however criticize his nunchaku skills
Sweet mullet.
Awesome!
where's the vid where he catches on fire at friday night fights? with all due respect
Not with the ProChux. They were designed for striking as well as freestyle moves.
The Prochux are not plastic they are made out of oak and they will crack a head open or break a board or just about anything you want.
@RevDogo it's rope and yes, I make them. have been making them since around 1990
short rope makes for raster swings......it is a step up from the longer chain. a little more difficult to use
agreed....actually the chain/rope on nunchucks should be the width of your hand if you want to get technical about customizing one.
kinda like the billy mays of nunchucks hahaha good stuff!
This is just a sampler from the entire video.
And you are an expert yourself no doubt?
That was back before the hair style was not called a mullet. Now it is shorter and more contemporary.
thats pretty sick
the exact address is on the internet.
@geoman1234 sometimes you have to clutch or bounce it off the body for fast and strong recoils. this is an inside thigh and shoulder clutch drill. still funnybthough, ROFLMAO
Great performance but what about your balls at 1:23 ? Looks pretty painful! I admire your awesome handling!
the 80's " looks away and waves hand in front of face"
more control, and according to what I've read it means slightly less power, but from what I see in this video, they still have plenty of power
Your chain section is quite small. I am use to having a hand width long chain section. I think not all tricks applies to both nunckucks.
There were no out outakes that I remember but if there were it wasn't much maybe a stutter or mis-pronounced word or two. But, glad you like what you see.
Was this recorded with a toaster?
