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!

All of the competition keeps getting better and better. Cut it out!!! Just kidding. Its really cool to see the sport keep evolving because of all your hard work and dedication to the Martial Arts. The Hyper Games Trick battles were crazy and it was fun being a part of all that. The younger guys really stepped it up like Adian & Dallas you guys were awesome and fun to watch!!
Keep up all the great training everyone catch you at the next event !!
