Here I will put some practical tips you might want to know about.
Tip: Our Beastick Club "Gepard" nunchaky tightening (cording)
This cording is has several benefits. It is easily disconnecting which makes it
perfect for airport security checks. It is very reliable, rope is protected and serves for much longer time than traditional
nunchaku cording. The knock is hidden inside of the stick which makes it much more elegant and convenient.
So, that is the procedure. Hope pictures will explain all.
Tip: Traditional Nunchaku types
First of all I
want to say that there are two types of corded bisticks:
1. Three holes,
classic Okinawa
nunchaku
2. Two holes,
probably one of the Chinese jie guns
Tip: Three holes nunchaku cording "Loop" (Okinawa Kobodo)
This cording is usually used with classic Okinawa Nunchakus.
1. Put some
candle wax into all holes. This makes the rope life much longer.
2. Bend the
rope in the middle and push the loop into the upper hole. Pull it out the first side hole
3. Push the
loop into the bottom side hole
4. Push the
loop into upper side hole and pull it out the upper hole
5. Pass the
ends of the rope through the loop
6. Tighten
it and pull the loop into the upper hole to hide it
7. Do the same
with the ends of the rope on another stick
8. Tighten
the knock around the rope
9. Cut the
ends, burn the ends with a lighter and pull the knock into the upper hole
Tip: Two holes nunchaku cording "Yin Yang" (Probably Chinese)
This cording used with "short stick long rope" bisticks. I call it "Yin Yang" because the rope "draws" the Yin Yang symbol
inside the stick.
1. Put some
candle wax into all holes. This makes the rope life much longer.
2. Pass the
end of the rope through the side hole
3. Turn both
ends around each side and push them to opposite sides of the side hole
4. Pull the
ends from the upper hole
5. Push the
ends into upper hole of another stick. Pull the ends from different sides of the side hole
6. One end
of the rope push through opposite side of the side hole
7. Tighten
the knock
8. Cut and
burn
9. Push the
knock into the side hole. Tighten all the rope turns
Tip: Nunchaku cleaning
The best bi-stick
is the one made of hard wood and not painted or lacquered. To clean the wood sticks take the piece of soft cotton rag, put
few drops of olive (or any other plant oil) and rub the oil into surface of the stick. Olive oil cleans and hardens wood sticks
and also makes them easier to grab.
Tip: Simple sticks chaining
Yes, if you want to use a chain instead of the rope here is simplest way to attach it. Note this doesn't give yet motion
flexibility which ball bearing connection does but it is very simple and easy to make.
