Man i always thought that the nunchaku moves that Bruce lee did was from Japan but it turns out that the version he learned is from the Filipino martial arts of handling the nunchaku. Apparently there's a difference between the nunchaku of japan and the tabak toyok(Filipino name of the nunchaku) of the Philippines. Which you can see that the one bruce lee using was the tabak toyok and not the Japanese nunchaku.
@@keaneTVchannels not really. He just popularized it. What he actually did are just the basic movements of it. If you'd seen how people who trained Filipino martial arts do the tabak toyok, bruce Lee's version looks like sh*t.
The difference in style is more for the intended use. Narrow handles with short chain or string is for tricks only. Heavy thick ones are for fighting. Bruce's were a hybrid of thin up top and fat at the bottom, which are decent for either.
The Filipino actress that plays Morgan Elizabeth in the Ashoka series is his Goddaughter as her father was a martial artist and good friends with Bruce Lee.
Awesome video! This about sums it up for a good start and probably all the basic and important techniques. In the process of making some wood corded chucks and super psyched to try all this out. Thanks a bunch
As a kid I made my chux.with a broom and a dog leash, I thought i was Bruce Lee lol, i'd be in my backyard for hours just practicing I hit my head so many times I had knots on my head lol...great video.
I learned once a little bit escrima/kali and now i'm training kobudo and kenjutsu, iaijutso. I have to say when it comes to practical use i like escrima more, it's brutal, hard and pragmatic. I noticed when i train with the sais, i use basically the same movements like the kali sticks ...
@@mikeneidlinger8857 i was referring to WHERE you grip it. Up close near the chain stifles your reach and power. Down near the bottom hits harder but sacrifices fine control. My old sensei used to preach "the difference between combat and stage combat is inches and intent". In this case thats absolutely relavant. I can hold it near the chain, hit someone in the head and give them a lump to remember me by, or i can hold it near the bottom, hit them in the head and give them traumatic spine and brain injuries
this "weapon" is a modern invention. Nobody knew nunchucks in the Philippines before Bruce Lee made it popular. Even the name "Tabak toyok" is an invention for marketing purposes. Tabak actually refers to blades and toyok is a Visayan term meaning "to go around". Well, even "kali" is a modern invention.
@@kalicenter well no and yes. First, it's not a bad thing if you're honest about it. But yes, when a lot of FMA schools claim "ancient heritage". A lot of schools claim FMA lineage back to the days of Cilapulapu, which is utterly false. If you have a "modern" functional system then good for you and more success.
@@dharmalearnerdan inosanto taught them to lee, and inosanto learned them from Filipino martial arts. I think its safe to say they were around before bruce lee.
@@michaellarocca4879 well, actually I'm here in the Philippines. Historically, fencing was practised with flat wooden swords as actual fencing gear was limited to the moneyed class. But it was actually European fencing at least for the Illustrado. Sword use in the south and precolonial times were imported from the Malay heartland as settlers in Tondo, Butuan and other parts came from Java and Sumatra. The use of swords were most probably from those practised in the Majapahit empire which is based in what is now Indonesia. However, those precolonial martial culture were not documented properly or systematically. Anything you see now are either aporoximations or amalgamation of other known arts. The Krabi Krabong could even be the root of the double swords practice.

Karate itself originated from India.

Check with your local states regarding legality of carrying nunchucks.
I learned once a little bit escrima/kali and now i'm training kobudo and kenjutsu, iaijutso.

Tabak Toyok!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I like it❤ thank you very much
Where can I learn from you, can I buy a not metallic one to carry even on the airplane.
Still my favorite weapon 👍
Have you ever done Kali vs Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)?
Try the filipino butterfly knife or balisong
in tagalog, we called it also chako.
Yes! 👍🏼
How teach me how to do it
I'm fin to go out and get me some nunchuks.
Could you imagine someone attacking him with a knife or even a machete or baseball bat?
Is it really better for whacking people with different grips? I don't understand the logic.
More reach and more centrifigal force. Whats not to understand?
When you whack someone, there is only one grip to use.
@@mikeneidlinger8857 i was referring to WHERE you grip it. Up close near the chain stifles your reach and power. Down near the bottom hits harder but sacrifices fine control.

You should be a Jiu-Jitsu hero who does submission grappling.
