As long as you focus on your safety and take the time to teach yourself proper techniques, learning to use nunchaku is a worthwhile and enjoyable hobby.
Step 1: You can buy a pair of nunchucks.
That means a foam handle with either a cord or a chain.There will almost certainly be pairs available on internet martial arts sites.It's better to hit yourself with foam than wood or metal.You should be aware that a Nunchaku is a weapon.Price the cheapness of the weapon.
Step 2: Wear comfortable clothes when you go to an empty room.
A place that doesn't have a lot of things to break is a good place to go.
Step 3: Start slowly.
Practice passing from hand to hand and doing a figure of 8's until you get the feel of them.You can always speed up when you are confident.
Step 4: Some basic moves can be learned.
If you learn to do the figure of 8 you can stop it by wrapping it around your waist.You will be set up to do more difficult things when you learn these simple moves.Purchase a book on nunchaku basics.These have been used by martial artists for hundreds of years.Use their skills.
Step 5: You can learn strikes.
Take the weapon and hit the objects in proper order.You can protect yourself in a fight by hitting the head area and other pressure points.Wear protective gear or a mannequin.Put the weapon under your arm.Take the end of your holding and flip it toward the target.It's just one way.The strokes can be used to strike people.
Step 6: If you want to learn more complex moves, you can invent a few.
You should be able to combine a few moves by the time you get to the advanced techniques in the back of the books.You can catch it by throwing it up.
Step 7: There is progress on to wood.
As light and quick as foam is, you're ready for the challenge.The foam chunks are heavier than the wood chunks.Get used to the increased weight when you start off slow again.Slowly, you've learned all the techniques.You should speed them up when you're ready.
