Nunchaku's teach speed, timing, and weapon positioning. It's a great weapon to learn. Not only effective, it helps with your body mechanics in regards to the empty hand, as well as general weapons fighting.

Get a good teacher though, there's more than just spinning and whipping involved.

Also, it's good idea to start with foam. Then go heavy. You'll definitely respect it. I use oak for serious practice (with chain) And the lighter-than-air, faster-than-lightening rattan when I'm showing off.

Good luck to you.

Oh and practice OUTSIDE!!!!
