Nunchaku vs Knife: Part 2

Thanks for watching!
At Baehr Taekwondo, we teach both Taekwondo (Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-do) and Hapkido (Hap Ki Do or Hapki-Do). The fusion of Taekwondo and Hapkido results in a seamless evolution of techniques that no other Taekwondo school benefits from.
My original instructor was Chung Won Oh, a 9th Dan black belt in Taekwondo and Hapkido from Korea. He attended the first ever International Taekwondo Federation's intructor seminar in 1974 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was one of General Choi's original black belt students and became one of the first Taekwondo and Hapkido instructors in Canada, opening his southern Ontario schools beginning in 1973.
Our style and our uniforms may appear a bit different from what you're accustomed to seeing on KZbin. Sometimes "different" is a very good thing. (We wear Hapkido uniforms because we like them better than the pull-over V-necks.) More importantly, we set ourselves apart from the other Taekwondo channels because we are very different.
We are the only channel on KZbin that does original style Taekwondo! It isn't a stretch to say that there's us, and then there's everyone else, and everyone else is exactly the same, doing things according to one particular book. If you're ready to learn something new you've come to the right place.
Our style can only be found in the oldest Taekwondo books that were ever published, long before the Legacy guide/encyclopedia and video series came out. As a result, most instructors today have either forgotten that style, or never learned it to begin with.
Our roots trace back to the origins of the art. At Baehr Taekwondo, we teach the original, militarized version of ITF Taekwondo and Hapkido, evolved to make optimum use of every technique and apply it correctly in the most plausible and realistic manner.
By teaching Taekwondo and Hapkido together, students gain a solid grappling background (missing from Taekwondo), along with critical weapons training, breathing control exercises (also missing from Taekwondo), and additional foundation movements (missing from Taekwondo) to form a complete self defence system.
Baehr Taekwondo is the #1 Taekwondo and Hapkido school in Waterloo Region, specializing in private instruction. We offer in-person instruction, and training content for sale.
Whereas WTF (WT) style Taekwondo prepares students for Olympic sparring, we teach fight strategies and tactics that work in the real world. Our techniques are realistic, practical, functional, and optimal.
If you are interested in authentic, original, ITF style Taekwondo, the very style General Choi taught to soldiers in Korea, as taught by a grandmaster instructor, you are in the right place.

The challenge I see after using them is that there is sometimes a slight delay between the defensive swinging and setting up for a power stroke. And the power stroke of the nunchucks takes a longer "cocking" mechanism. A knife wielder who knows this can exploit the situation. I still love them, but more work needs to be done in training to use them under pressure :)

The difficulty here is that my Dad isn't skilled with the knife, so he can't show any realistic knife attacks for me to counter. However we did practice this back at the club when doing weapon vs weapon free sparring. (Using padded weapons.) As long as you have the space to swing them, you should be okay with the nunchaku, even with a slight delay to build momentum. I've got some knife fighting videos too. ☺

@@taekwondotime Thanks :)

Ótimo

[@luciusirving5926]

Best of all, you can't wound the assailant with ninchaku so you won't ever go straight to jail for manslaughter. Able to reach pressure points in a matter of seconds.

[@taekwondotime]

Not sure I understand what you're saying.

[@jacklirby4958]

Mine is wooden nunchuck is it good enough?

[@taekwondotime]

Absolutely.

[@jacklirby4958]

@@taekwondotime thank you for the answer sir I never used it before in streets can i add kicks in my nunchuck self defense training

[@taekwondotime]

@@jacklirby4958 Add kicks?

[@falcoelempresario]

Try not to kick against a knife you should try to keep your distance without geting cut

[@linolutke4032]

Imagine seeing someone pulling up to a fight with a nunchaku

[@taekwondotime]

It would be rare indeed considering nunchaku are the most banned traditional martial arts weapon in the world.

[@arrowsaredeadly4004]

I would laugh, then shoot his bum ass

[@OJIKA4152]

ヌンチャクは、攻撃よりもガードの方が遥かに難しい。

[@taekwondotime]

I have no idea what that says.
