My first set of nunchucks I got when I was three years old. They were plastic orange Ninja Turtle chuks from Toys R’ Us. At that time I was doing busted up cartwheels and rolls on my front lawn and got my nunchucks stuck in a tree. I actually have this on video but don’t expect to see it on YouTube.
Since then they have been my favorite weapon. Something about the speed and whip of the chain kept me practicing all these years. This is me 21 years later!

Hyper Pro Matt Emig dropped his New Chux Sampler over the weekend.

Over the past weekend, Kalman Csoka gave the last performance of his NASKA career at the 2011 Diamond Nationals. He did his double sword form blindfolded!! He nearly got straight 10’s with only one 9.99. I’ve enjoyed competing against Kalman over the past few years. He has truly innovated and pushed the limits of our sport and has pushed me. As a friend, teammate and competitor I am going to truly miss him. A lot of people don’t remember but Kalman suffered a knee injury a couple of years before I broke my knee. He gave me hope, encouragement and motivation. I have tremendous respect for Kalman and he is a great friend!

Hey what’s up Hyper Fans? I just got back from Diamond Nationals where I performed my new stiletto chuk form which I have been working on since the beginning of the year! Stiletto Chuks is a new groundbreaking weapon that I created. A stiletto blade is embedded in the opposite end of the chuk handle which allows me to do a lot more strikes and maneuvers. If you haven’t seen it yet check it out on youtube.
I had an action packed week and it’s still going. It started with New England Open, where I won my first weapons Grand Championship of the year. I beat Ross Levine and undefeated Kalman Csoka. The competition reminded me of how it used to be back when I was a junior! After the tournament I drove home from Massachusetts and got on a plane in New York to head to California for the Karate Kid Movie Premiere. The movie was great and afterwards we got to hang out at the after party. I met Jackie Chan, Jayden Smith, Will Smith and Ciara. It was a great time! The next day I flew home and had just enough time to get a few hours of sleep and repack my suitcase to head to Atlanta to teach at Kalman Csoka’s Elite Camp. The camp was awesome! So much young talent! Now I’m packing my suitcase again this time heading to Kentucky for the Bluegrass Nationals! See everyone there!
What’s up everyone? The last two months have been crazy for me. In April, I competed at the Ocean State Grand Nationals for the first time since my injury. It has been 20 months since my last performance back in 2008 at the US Open. The tournament went well I took a first place in Creative Weapons. Two weeks later I competed at the Quebec Open where I took three first places in Musical Forms, Creative Forms and Creative Weapons and in May I won my first grand championship at the Gator Nationals in CMX Mens Forms. In between all of those tournaments, my student Danny Etkin and I competed in the Karate Kid competition at Six Flags. We made it to the final 3. Next week we are heading to the premiere of the Karate Kid. On the red carpet they will announce which team is the winner! I would like to thank everyone who voted!! We appreciate all the support and mass emails. See ya at the New England Open!!
