***Awesome Nunchucks for Beginners #12: Figure 8 Wrist Rolls (Ninja Circus Nunchaku Tricks )

[@joshuacruz3119]

I'd much rather learn nunchucks than playing with fidget spinners or cubes and shit

[@Rouxgarou96]

ken hill Thanks for your videos man, I just got back into handling nunchaku after 6 years with no practice and your videos really helped me get back into the flow of using them :)

[@MrRolyat98]

I would make a nunchuck out of rubiks cubes

Kids this days played blocks on a computer screen. They have no motor function skills.

[@reynaldocruz3220]

3:22 was my favorite part.That looked so awesome!

[@jguido6]

Hi Ken,. I've been teaching Martial Arts for about 29 years. I've seen weapon forms change and evolve so much over the years. I really enjoy your videos because of the way you break things down and your explanation of your combinations. Great job...

[@krilix420]

yooooo i was just doing my swings and catches as well as passes but this is on a whole new level im subbing right now

[@ImmaWrongdoer]

well, i got this in 10 minutes. you know why? because you are one of the best teacher I've ever seen in my life. Respect, dude!!!!! 🙏

[@reynaldocruz3220]

I keep throwing my nunchucks across the room hitting all the walls

[@waquasanas5804]

Thanks Ken hill You teach it so well that I got it in almost 20 min

[@FlamSanagan]

Dude you're such an amazing teacher, I love how you break everything down into steps and perform it slow enough to follow what is actually taking place, makes learning so much easier. I learned the figure 8 wrist roll in one night thanks to you, still horribly sloppy but I have much practicing to do. Thank you for the vidoes!

[@MrAqzaqz45]

Yea he's really helping me out

[@Green__Man]

You've achieved the Cool status my dude, you make this look flawless and easy, so satisfying to watch and your whole appearance is super clean and so charismatic

[@seldnim46]

[@Metaljesuslol]

Thanks you... your videos have been the most helpful out of all that I have seen. Your knowledge and time is appreciated!

[@emanuel_811]

I got this in 5 minutes.Thanks for explaining it so well.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Oddly enough I was able to pick this move up very quick but I think my chain is not long enough. I noticed you have more links between your sticks.

[@Anika-ie5lk]

i got my black belt 3 years ago and ended up leaving my dojo. found my nunchucks a few days ago and i made it part of my New Years resolution to learn the nunchucks. im using your videos to learn one new skill every day for 30 days and WOW it’s so helpful!! thank you :) ❤️❤️ I am currently on day 4! I will try to share it with you when I finish this challenge!

[@FernKully]

[@theadamwilcox]

[@ashajadhav5146]

Same to you 😭😭😭😭😁

[@alexxchavezee]

This is arguably the best, most complex vid ever.should have been titled 'advanced nun chucko... I just stared nunchuk-ing today but this vid gives me an even higher standard than Bruce Lee...

[@xannayeem6539]

Ken, u've always been one of my favorites. your showmanship exceeds ur skill which is undoubtedly no less. u certainly are an inspiration to a lot of people as of mine. I believe its not a time challenge issue rather, how good u become through practice and be one with this weapon. I wish I were as good as you are or I would have sent you some of my own practice videos. Long live stay well and keep rolling my friend !

[@Xander9091]

Wow! Awesome. I cannot wait to watch the other videos and get crackin' on my practice.

[@wylieworldt.v7055]

Thank you so much this really helps I got it with one hand now on to the next one 💪💪💪

[@nottsdez]

started playing with chucks about a month ago got this in minutes super informative videos thanks man!

[@saisatish7275]

Hey bro thank you, I learnt wrist rolls by your videos

[@JB-eb3cp]

Yeah, this is the one I got down last night pretty well. It was strange at first because I was dialed in for like a minute straight. First time ever doing something like this for so long without a slip-up. Woo!

[@JB-eb3cp]

+ken hill Sweet idea! I'll set up a good lighting area. Show some beginners progress!(and fails)haha.

[@bushimotter]

Definitely the most useful nunchaku tutorial I have seen, just tried the normal wrist roll watching this video and it is working pretty well! Now I can have a great transition out of and into strikes!

[@samwhillance9303]

I learnt in a few hours! You're awesome Ken!!!

[@utkarshtrikha5398]

Took me 3 days ... I hour each day....thankz bro

[@rogerwalker5557]

I tought that i will never get that trick but now IT WORKS!!!

[@freetothink284]

I got it down but then I thought I did it wrong, rewatched, didn't get it kept trying to do it I was used to twirling my fingers because I did butterfly knife tricks so I kept twirling the chuk and itd mess up the rhythm xD when the chain wraps your hand from the bottom up was really weird for me but I'm sure I got it now hahah

[@chrismudmanify]

I learn a lot so far from u still working on that . To keep it going .got the wrist rolls down I got one side down at the 6 o clock just have get the other side down . I made my self a coool pair of nun Chucks.out heavy duty springs.

[@tywilliams6316]

This took me 15 min to learn this. Good teacher

[@ΕύηΛαμπρέα]

Which chapter is for positive to positive and negative to negative wrist rolls? Great videos by the way!

[@brandonfay14]

I am training for my ninjutsu classes I can't do it without your Nunchaku video

[@dylanbaldwin4138]

this is actually the first spinie trick i learned, i do it on my hips to, side to side also... i do the 180 degrees a lot smaller when doing this.Ken Hill is aaaaawwweesome

[@Gareth201081]

Hi Ken! I'm actually not sure how stumbled upon your videos now, but 3 weeks later having never spun a chuck in my life or had any experience in martial arts (I'm a musician in fact), I am doing figure 8 wrist rolls and more! Your style of teaching is awesome and I'm sure you reached your goal of 100 new spinners before that year was out, but aside from that you've given me an excellent new fulfilling hobby! Gratitude from Essex, England.

[@Gareth201081]

Lol just a few!

[@Graven754]

You deserve so many more views.You have a fantastic attitude towards teaching, and always seem to be upbeat. This keeps the viewer's attention. BTW; you're teaching reminds me of CALVINNATION, I learned all of my Bailsong moves from him.

[@rumnale3753]

Omg i learned this 5 minutes after watching this thnx so much you explained this move really well!

[@anko8aug]

+ken hill (██||███████||██)=====(██||███████||██)

[@alitehrani9920]

I think I am a little insane cause it just took 30 min to learn the first and soon i bill begin with the back to front. Thanks for making these videos cause I have nunchucks home but nobody learns me. It was hard learning on youtube but your videos helped a lot.

[@Giaridos123]

i "mastered" it in about 2 hours. thanks so much for this great tutorial

[@lordshammicus8744]

Thank you learned wrist rolls by the time the video ended!

[@SamuelTek]

I learned this in an hour thanks!

[@jaedenreid7591]

Whenever swing my nunchucks I would always put the extra Beat in. It’s cool to know I’m not the only one who dose that

[@lennart82]

Okey. .. Got my right hand flowing... Left is next. Man I love this. 😄😄😄😄😄

[@Kiyomitsuable]

Got it in hours ;) , the figure 8 is wobbly and asymmetrical though so I'll keep practicing. Nice tutorial, very thorough explanations. Thanks!

[@t0fuu957]

this surprised me i got really good with nunchucks instantly i even created a move i call it the figure 8 backhand flip

[@pieter1502]

Its going better and better now, damaged my refridgerator, my walls my table etc. But my wrist roll doesnt seem like a propellor yet.

[@bashinmybishop]

Thank you for explaining...it's an Art. Needs plenty of practice

[@pazeldog5522]

Thank u so much, I already learned this when I was 12 in the Kwon Do, I'm 28 now and I feel like messing around with nunchucks again and but I forgot the trick. This video allowed me to relearn it. Thank you💜

[@MrCrazygoku]

Hello Kenn , my name is Gert and I live in Europe ( BELGIUM ) and without lying , I love ya tutorials about Nunchuks , I lear far more from you than I learn in my school where I do KUNG FU " Lai Fist Kung FU " , so THANKS a lot man for all the effort you put into ya video's to teach us. THANK . I'm beginning to get the hand of it and it makes me so happy , in the beginning I was struglingut now , after a while it goes like riding a bike , even tricks I see you teaching 1 time after a day or 4 I'm getting it. But I practice alot , every day after work and after Kung Fu class. THANKS MAN " GERT " !!!!!!!! YOU ARE TOP

[@karldicker1702]

I am practicing the nunchucks since I was a child, I am confident with myself, but only Lately am I learning the learning the wrist roll, I can do it pretty good but your way Is absolutely flawless.

[@TAT24U]

Ken hill you are the best teacher, I refuse to watch any other videos on nunchaku unless from u

[@agelesskarate]

This guy legit. We’re planning on doing a project soon together.

[@stevenbrown7048]

Looking for the clearest possible lesson on how to do continuous rolls in the same direction... an ongoing 'circle' more or less in a flat plane but not finger rolls. One way seems to be get in reverse grip and get the momentum to take it over your thumb (going clockwise in the right hand for example), but I can't get the catch after that to keep it going. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@parthkapoor5105]

Nice. Your videos are awesome. You are just like my teacher. Pleese teach more about nanchaku. Thanks 😊

[@khadimhussainsapu601]

u r really amazing dear sir.... i learnt many things from i can't forget your kindness...

[@khadimhussainsapu601]

thank u soo much dear sir ...lot's of love u...keep it up

[@robrac83]

I self taught nunchucks long ago, starting to pick them up again and stumbled across this video. This video reminded me of all the terrible funny bone hits.. ewe.. 99% of my painful mistakes were funnybone hits.. pretty much all caused by the move hes showing in this video.

[@sahilhirulkar0]

Love you sir because of you we are able to make twist spins like brucelee

[@lukestevenson6465]

still looking good mr hill, always nice to see a fellow chuker doing his thing.

[@red5llaw]

Thank you. You are an awesome martial artist and you have great teaching skill. Nice video's!

[@mrbobjrsrv]

Why can't I get the momentum going on the right side wrist roll? It always falls down as soon as I flip the nunchucka I'm holding over my wrist and catch the other one.

[@randomseth4179]

Nunchaku are meant to be used as a weapon, flashy moves are okay for shows as he does, however in combat it is not practical. Even in a show it is abuse of the weapon as it is intended to be used to strike, trap and disarm opponents. Doing moves as shown in the video causes unnecessary wear and tear where the two sticks are connected and causes them to loosen. If used for combat you must keep in mind that they are a weapon and should be wielded as such and without the added wear and tear from the fancy junk that can get you killed. They will last longer if used properly.

[@Wexellence]

I'm new to chux and your videos are very helpful, so thank you for your time on uploading them. I'm still working on those wrist rolls, lol. I have wooden octagon with rope chux, so, will you be making a video doing a routine and comparing the speed of heavy chux and light weight chux? I know the speed differs but just to know how it looks like. Thanks!

[@neverrip7132]

3:15 thank you for the lessons. I could do everything up until here (not as smooth as you... you are Bruce Lee reincarnated hehe). I practice all day. No drama. I've got to get that extra beat in..... but the next move.... behind your back.... can't wait to try that tomorrow!! Love the videos. Thank you Master.

[@SAYBATUFF]

PHENOMENAL NUCHAKU KEN, THANKYOU FOR THE UPLOAD HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEACE

[@sugarrayao7081]

was wondering what kind of nunchucks your using in this video and were you can get them. please and thank you.

[@thethreeninjas4295]

3:34 that's me every five seconds \o/ Quick question i find the nunchuks are coming together during the chuck hand change.. is this down to not enough momentum or me not letting go quick enough?? and i find after a few of these my hand is holding the chain.. back to practicing..

[@prasanthmukundanunni5509]

Hi Ken... Your video is really helpful and for me. I have a question for you. I have a nunchaku and it is not good in my hands. The chain length is pretty bigger than usual I guess. It is 9 inches long. And the sticks are 10 inches which is ok. Can you please mention in your videos about the standard length of the sticks and chain. I like to know the measurements of your nunchaku. Thanks

[@prasanthmukundanunni5509]

ken hill thank you very much 😊

[@noasta212]

I've mastered this now, thanks so much bro ur vids are awesome!! :)

[@isaiastorrez3649]

Hey ken I'm practicing my nunchucks very well your my favorite teacher but once i feel I'm ready where can i buy my own flame chucks and what should i look out for if there are different types of flame chucks Thanks again

[@arthartshorn7166]

Excellent instruction thanks mate.

[@EmmettLing]

Awesome video! Really helpful. Thanks!

[@Stanley417ra4e]

Hey what’s up recently got into nunchucks and learned the wrist roll with both hands in about 45 minutes however the reverse figure 8 is causing black eyes lol can you make another video on it

[@FordBlox]

Hey ken thank you so much for putting these videos up, You are the best teacher ever, I impressed all my friends with the tricks you taught me! But im having a major problem with this trick, I can do the front grip figure 8 wrist roll perfectly, and very fast, too, But once I get into the back grip, whenever I try rolling it back to a front grip, it allways comes back as a back grip!! How do I fix this?

[@siabah7910]

cool moves, already hit my elbow and whole my face.

[@alvinjones670]

GOOD TECHNIQUES AND YOUR ON POINT THANKS MAN!!!💯💯💯✌✌✌

[@allfortheebchildren6561]

Thank you for this. My master says there is no other form for nunchucks that we do, so I could go free style. Well he only taught us the basics: figure 8, triangle, underarm catch, around the neck, around the back, to the knee etc. so it's hard to look really cool with them so this will impress my fellow peers if my nunchucks are long enough to to the turn. Anyway thanks again!

[@allfortheebchildren6561]

Thanks I'll tell you but unfortunately we are on break Until January 5 and Wednesday is our only weapons day. It's hard to get there on a family schedule so I get there when I can and still dominate everyone! Lol.

[@crystalgarcia7273]

just like how you play Arnis but we know they're different kind of staff that we need to learn about

[@kyosanimbruno6650]

woah man, you're amazing. Incredible lessons

[@cainmorrow9082]

What a beast! ideal tutorial

[@mugglechuggle6068]

I have a chained nunchuck and a non-chained nunchuck. I want to use the chained nunchuck when I wrist roll but I get pinched by the 'ana' and the 'kontoh'. I would guess that I should keep on practicing instead of finding obvious answers but what do I know

[@MrTripp02]

jake mance and 211 steel reserve taught me chucking... but as Michelangelo would say, a fellow chucker ahh... but how do i twirl it on the chain with a single finger... haven't tried string yet... almost there just have to buy some para cord. p.s. took me a long time to get good with chucks ppl its not easy and I'm pretty sure ive shattered mt elbows multiple times...

[@MrTripp02]

p.s.s. you are good... but I've seen better... have you tried to hit objects while practicing, such a difference to the learning cycle

[@toxicfrancium]

can you help me choose a good chuck to start with? I have a little skill but need to tighten up my wrist rolls.

[@bens4446]

I always end up in a back grip after my wrist rolls (on both sides). How do I go from back to front grip?

[@lovemachine6473]

One strike per opponent! No exception! If you have time to wrist roll! Your already dead! This is a weapon. Not a dance! Bruce always knew this and trained as such! Would often injure himself! Till he learned the fulcrum. Once master'd impossible to overcome! Ping pong vs bullets! Life or death!! Every session I miss him!

[@Shukhratkamolov]

The most helpful nunchaku trick video I‘ve ever watched!😀 Thanks
