Double Nunchucks

Hey, Temple Fam, With the arrival of the winter term and the approaching celebration of Bruce Lee's birthday, we are thrilled to introduce our focus for this semester: "Double Nunchucks!" Building upon last year's exploration of single-handed nunchucks, this term, we will concentrate on the dual-handed variety. This journey promises to enhance your coordination skills between both hands and deepen your mastery and understanding of this iconic weapon. Double Nunchucks falls under the category of "flexible weapons." Due to its compact size and accessibility for beginners in KungFu, it has gained widespread popularity. Within the legendary tale of the double nunchucks, its origins trace back to the first emperor of the Song Dynasty in China, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin (927-976 AD). Due to his remarkable martial prowess, he ingeniously crafted this weapon, with its initial form consisting of one long stick and one short stick. In the realm of martial arts philosophy, it serves both as a swift offensive tool and a means of self-defence due to its portability. As we approach the event of Bruce Lee's birthday, we remember his remarkable skills with this weapon that quickly captured the world's attention through his screen performances in the last century. Our objective is to commemorate this special moment with this iconic and representative classic weapon. Let us prepare our weapons and embrace the warrior spirit within us as we embark on this exciting journey together!
