- Nunchuck expert and stuntwoman Thekla Hutyrova rates 11 nunchuck scenes in movies and television for realism, such as "Enter the Dragon" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Hutyrova has been practicing nunchucks, or nunchaku, for over 18 years and is a martial arts world champion.
Hutyrova discusses the accuracy of nunchuck scenes in "Enter the Dragon" (1973), starring Bruce Lee; "Kick-Ass 2" (2013); "Barry" (2019); and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (1990). She also comments on the portrayal of nunchuck showmanship in "Game of Death" (1978); "Legend of the Fist" (2010), starring Donnie Yen; and "Ip Man 4: The Finale" (2019). Hutyrova analyzes the practicality of nunchucks in "Warrior" (2020), with Andrew Koji; "Jumanji: The Next Level" (2019); "Black Dynamite" (2009), starring Michael Jai White; and "Lady Bloodfight" (2016).

Nunchuck Master Rates 11 Nunchuck Scenes In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? 
Кино
Bruce Lee doesn’t show off for way too long. He just gives his opponents a longer chance to reconsider their life choices.
FACTS!
If you asked me, the bad guys were taking their time💁♀️ Bruce lee will only attack after you decide to choose death when going at him first😂
lol, well said
He never competed
@@richardonthemole8576 Anyone who has trained or as in my case had some sick 4.5hr workouts every single day for years because I was obsessed. Can tell you. Just by looking and his physic and movements. He was champion level... NO DOUBT!
If only Bruce Lee could see what an impact he has made in todays world
Nice profile image!!
...and how revered he is!
Bruce Lee was the man n if I recall correctly he stated that they were not practical for fighting but he mastered them bc they were part of the the arsenal. They do look cool as all outdoors...
@@victoralomar104 I doubt there could be any other weapon that would be more practical for use with Bruce Lee's style, and philosophy than a pair of Nunchaku, they represent fluidity and freedom of movement better than any other pre gunpowder weapon, but like all of us, they hide a wild uncontrollable nature that through dedication, bumps, bruises, and self control can be tamed and show their true beauty.
@@eight08hitman63 Bruce Lee's philosophy was REGURGITATING what he read from the book of 5 rings and Art of War.
She does bring up a pretty interesting point where nunchucks in media are usually depicted way more in presentation and showing off than *actual* fighting, moreso than most other weapons.
That's because it's hard to fake hitting people with nunchucks and not hurt them. Another thing to take into consideration when people claim they are ineffective.
@@MichaelBuieFilms rubber or foam props?
@@Dmvgold1995 I don't use Rubber or foam. Only wood or aluminum. But even a rubber prop would hurt from the velocity, and foam would move and look fake or break during impacts. Lots of innovative camera angles would be necessary to truly pull it off.
Really look at chinese sword fights. The people are no where near the sword swing in MOST films. That stuff is hard to fake, even with fight angles photography.
@@MichaelBuieFilms To be fair its not that they are ineffective, no-one would have ever used them if that was true. They just aren't as effective or easy to use as more conventional weapons and can, more so than most, be a danger to the user if not handled properly. The whole flail aspect also does mean that yeah, there's really no way to "pull your punch" with one without making it quite visually obvious that you are indeed pulling your strike, which kind of defeats the point of trying to make it look real.
@@accywacky2699 we train 17 nunchuck moves (spins+strike/s) to our yellow belts. It's a matter of practice.
We teach single and double nunchucku forms (taolu/kata) to any level who wants to learn.
So the weapon can be learned effectively.
Faking a fight with them is the difficult thing to do. And I take issue with people who characterize them as ineffective.
I have a friend who is an actual black belt martial arts sensei, and I showed him the 2012 version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and he was blown away by the accuracy with the fighting techniques displayed. He also said that the fact that Michelangelo was given the Nunchucks for a very good reason, as they are by far the most difficult weapon to master. Splinter gave Michelangelo the Nunchucks in order to get him focussed, since he's so zany and his mind is all over the place.
I've never thought of that, that's a really cool theory behind it. In a sense then, Donatello has the most "basic" weapon because he's the most intelligent of the four perhaps.
Black belt in karate is just a start not the end of path.
@@streetfightingman4240 seen a video where a fan was breaking the turtles down he said Mikey got nunchucks because he’s so zany so he helps him stay focused Donny got the staff because of his intelligence and has to train with his ability adapt with one of the most standard weapon Raph got the Sigh because of his anger and had to train with a defensive weapon to turn great defense to offense and of course Leo his almost like Raph but little opposite with him being the Leader he had to learn and train to push his limits to make decisions that could fall heavily on the turtles even taking someone’s life
If Splinter had given him the three sectional staff he'd have been super focused
If he'd had given him the chain whip, he'd have been super duper focused
That's funny, I guess I can relate to MichaelAngelo. Nunchucks are great for adhd. After starting martial arts and training with my nunchucks on my own. Have never hit myself, and always know where the nunchucks will be with every motion.
Bruce Lee made nunchucks cool. He definitely deserves 10/10
He was a legend...I understand
Wym a legend he’s a god he played 2 tennis champions with nun chucks
@@andrewrusso6371
That's modern CGI from a commercial. Doesn't take much research to find out, because every time it's posted people mention it. But in addition to being the first to popularize nunchaku, he's also got the most legitimate martial skills in the video.
Bruce Lee helped popularise martial arts and one of things he introduced was nunchucks
IP man trained him he’s god tier and every MMA fighter looks up to him
I honestly think ALOT of ppl picked up Nunchucks because of the Great Bruce Lee, so it's Extremely hard to critique him based on that alone.
Write a cogent sentence.
you said it!
don’t forget michaelangelo
@@crashcrashcr4sh You're Totally Right 🧡🐢
@@crashcrashcr4sh ...your right but in the cartoon Mike barely used them if they were not robots. All the kids back in the 80s bought them cause of the Ninja Mania hype we had!
Bruce Lee is the reason people even knew what nunchucks were and the reason every one and their mama wanted some. Also, the reason people wanted to take martial arts classes.
Cuz he was in a movie that went global. He was no master or fighter
@@user-oi1iq6tt4jWhat makes one a master?
@@Hadoken. 😆 not Bruce Lee the actor and rich boy
@@user-oi1iq6tt4jBruce Lee the man who created Jeet Kune Do and the man who inspired the creation of MMA and UFC something isn't adding up with what you said
@@alexmason2659 weak bs jeet kun do. Like weak bs wing chung...Bruce Lee was no Master nor high martial art wing chung practitioner, he was an actor for his life and well off rich boy who had maids n chauffeurs, he was a cha cha champ, his dad was singing superstar n actor, he only studied weak chun for a couple or so yrs...he most likely died from the physical exertion of Kung fu n the kung fu movies...
Awesome review. I also competed with nunchaku. She was at COMPETE. She won the open division. I won traditional form. She’s a great competitor. Nice to see she is doing well.
The Bruce Lee Nunchuck scene in Enter The Dragon is really iconic. One of the most important and recognizable scenes of all time in all of cinema, not just action or martial arts movies.
Slow your roll lol geezus
What's commendable about that scene is, that his opponent is his teacher of the nunchucks and a student of his JKD.
my personal favorite scene was when he dueled the guy in the yard and he was so fast they couldn't catch his movement on film. one minute he's standing like this, 1 screen later he's standing like that, with dude falling back holding his face. whyyyyyyyy tf after Bruce doing that ONCE to you would you wanna try again! 😂😂😂 Bruce man... just too fast and bad@ss. Rest in peace noble warrior to the stars ❤
It is iconic.
But it is iconic in exactly those realms. And not really any other.
Most important.. how?
I don’t know, man - Bruce Lee’s an instant 10/10 on the chucks. It’s not even a question. He brought them into the popular consciousness and I still think he looks the coolest wielding them.
I love the one of him playing ping-pong with them, even though it's not real.
And watching him play ping pong....too good
Bruce Lee looked cool no matter what he did
@@vinnieg6161 Haha, too true good sir!!! 😎👍👏👏👏👏🙌
Its not about who made them popular or who looks the coolest its about realism
So the scene in warrior is actually taking place in a large scale gang war fight between the Irish mob and the Chinese mafia so it's much more plausible him fighting from man to man and not taking them all on at once also it is an awesome show highly recommend it but the Bruce Lee scene is just so iconic
Its make no sense at all, he will be mobbed in no time, coz gangs not a bunch of duelists with strict sense of honor.
@MKirisame I mean that's fair but I still think it plausible to an extent
Michelangelo: the actor did it in full costume. (Limited sight and movement)
I think they deserve more credit.
Facts
She just wanted to see him fight which he didn't because all he was doing was providing a distraction in that scene. Have to give him 10/10 for flair though but a 0/10 for no fighting.
@@robertmickelberg3720
Raph and Don are the only ones to use their weapons in the movie and that's a stretch.
"A fellow 'chucker, eh?" My favorite "put my brain on hold" movie.
What Costume?
Another skill to complete my arsenal as a criminal, pickpocket, survivalist, sword fighter,getaway driver, spy, mob boss, bank robber ect lol. Love this channel!
lol
Semper Paratus.

Wanna heist?
@@stevegarcia5932 bro 🤫...dm me
I love her reaction and ratings for these but i feel like she's being generous with some of them because she's nice lol
I love that Michaelangelo used the fact that he was a turtle and flat-out drummed the chucks against his back in a way that would have been really painful for a human. I mean, probably not safe for a real turtle shell either but we can assume some artistic liberty with "mutant" makes it okay for him to do.
I was waiting for the gopher-chucks clip from Kung Pao Enter the fist.
OMG Yes!!! lol
Same. That I think was what made us all fall in love with that damn movie.
Well, the ones of us who didn't find Tiger and Crane Fist or the overall magic of Jimmy Wang Yu until later in life (which I'm).
10/10 for realism.
Kung Pou was the best worst movie
That reminded me of hanging out with a friend back in the mid 90s, who had a VHS recorder that could slowmo frame by frame (which was a miracle in itself). So one day, we went on to learn that whole Bruce Lee closeup sequence, from the beginning of this video. That‘s how you had to keep busy, without having internet.
there was internet in the mid 90s.
@@Veckler yeah it was, i grew up poor and i was on aol in the mid 90s. so were most of my poor friends.
One of the best commentaries in the series. Thekla keeps it real and her ratings reflect that.
That sneak attack from under the armpit is seriously being underrated. Extremely underrated
But not what you'd want to be using in combat,
it is not a debilitating blow, it's more for show,
and does look great.
@@bikersoncall that's because you're using cheap nun chuck. I wouldn't recommend using any weapons tbh but if you use the steel tip nun chuck it could have devastating effects.
@@alexanderaguilar8001
I should add; to say it is 'underrated'
is definitely not true, it is the
most famous image of nunchucks
in the world.
This is not a move that will stop
any serious attacker, but it is actually
not a bad opening move, not one
I would use but for novices, it could
be good, again, as an opening
shot, not one to end an attack.
As for 'steel end' of the nunchuck,
lol, I have 30+ sets of nunchucks.
@@bikersoncall I said it's underrated because it was underrated in this video genius 🙄
@@alexanderaguilar8001 lmao,
so now it's with the personal attacks,
since you were just talking out
of your @@@ anyway.
We can only go by what you write
not what you think we should
guess you were dreaming about
when you spewed your mindless
gibberish. 😄😄

No one can rate Bruce Lee..he did things 20-30 yrs ahead of his time..he was a master of both martial arts and philosophy
i don't know, i'd argue he continues to be ahead of his time in many ways, even to this day
Exactly 10/10 or nothing
Exactly how can you rate Bruce Lee? He does things that you can't see unless you use slow motion... just another level even for a current master.
❤ totally agree!
who is this person?
Can't believe they didn't include the gopherchuck scene from the greatest martial arts movie ever made, Kung Pow.
It'd be funny to see a martial artist watch the scene where he punches a hole through the guy's abdomen
I watched the whole thing waiting for "I need gopherchucks!" only to be disappointed. :(
@@keenanlarsen1639 a perfect plug. Not even possible if you think about it
Bruce's skills are unmatched to this day. Perfection!
way too true
bruce lee's the unmatched goat
lol, what a story - not any recorded real fights and at the end he abandoned Wing Chun, coz its just useless.
@@MKirisame Keep telling yourself that.
The routine at the end of the movie "Sidekicks" should definitely be on this. It's not a fight, it's just a kata in a tournament. But it's so freaking badass that I'm shocked it's not on here.
Agree amazing scene
"Hmm, this works on grain. I wonder what it'll do to someone face."
That was one upset farmer, for sure.
The Black Dynamite flinching part was intentional. The whole movie is a blaxploitation comedy masterpiece and the fluttering eyes is alluding to how the actors cast may be very unskilled in the real life use of weapons. Michael Jai White is pretending to be afraid of the weapon he is wielding for this comedic effect. He is acting as an actor in one of those films.
Interesting!
My reaction exactly. I'm also a little disappointed that she didn't seem to know who he is.
This.
"Sarcastically, I'm charge."
The absence of "Ghost World" Doug scene is a major fail and a missed opportunity.
Bruce Lee wasn't showing off. That's the art of fighting without fighting. 10/10
Yeah but when the guy tried to intimidate him by breaking a board in Enter the Dragon, he said "Boards don't hit back." You could say the same of standing there swinging nunchucks around. "Air doesn't hit back." It's showing off plain and simple but its a movie of course they show off.
@@MakerInMotion even if this video was about breaking boards, I would still rate Bruce Lee 10/10
@@MakerInMotion Lets be honest here. Anyone would be more intimidated by bruce lee swinging nunchucks with precision and speed. Compared to someone breaking a board.
@@MakerInMotion i think it's depend on who is trying to intimidate and who is the target.. if bruce lee is the target,kicking a boards 100% not working..
@@MakerInMotion True, but I think to a broader extent it shows he can showcase his skills and strength without damaging peoples property.
Shows a sense of control and respect.
*4:11** What people mean by "Are nunchuks real?", I would guess, is: "Are they an efficient weapon?" And frankly, how would this lady know if all she does is spin them in the air (which again is perfectly fine, but that on its own doesn't make her expert at using nunchuks as an offencive weapon)?*
*It is a very legitimate question people ask.*
Love that you reviewed Warrior. That's a show Bruce Lee was working on before he passed and his daughter, Shannon Lee, finished it for him. Kinda feel he did better than a 7 / 10 though, but hey you're the expert.
Yeah I'm glad the show is getting more recognition. The character Ah Sahm rarely goes in a fight using a weapon but he uses them really well when he finds himself with one. Plus the actor said he's never used nunchucks before this show and had to train for 6 months prior. I think he did great. I thought it looked cool. haha
The Warrior was ripped off when David Carradine starred in KUNG FU . Bruce Lee started what became the movie Game Of Death .
Guys, read the video title, it clearly says "...How Real Is It?", she wasn't wrong at all about Bruce Lee, you have to admit the "movie" factor played quite a role when it came to Bruce Lee (just see how much impact he had on all martial artists or just the general public), that's mostly due to his great acting performance (ofc his fighting skills are not a question at all) but on the other hand, movies from his time were alot more about the "wow" factor rather the realistic aspects.
So ofc she's right, it's unrealistic and a little unpractical to do that with nunchucks, you could argue that there's the intimidation factor, but once again, I think in a real fight, your opponent would not wait for you to do your "taunt".
Even Bruce himself said in an interview that a lot of the things he did on screen aren't what he'd do in real life, he said the movies don't want to see him stomp on someone's feet, kick them in the groin and knock them out, they want to see the more flashy moves
Also remember that the whole "showing off" thing is in itself a form of "attack". You are not "physically" hitting your opponent but attacking them psychologically. If I were to somehow find myself wanting to attack someone and someone doing that "showing off" with nunchucks like that... I probably would not want to engage them so much anymore.
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” - Sun Tzu
Edit: You also find this "behavior" in nature. Bears will jump up and stand on their back legs to visually increase their size, gorillas beat their chest/do fake "charges". The list goes on and on and most animals have some kind of "roar" they do to deter an opponent and we humans are no different... How many people have deployed "verbal judo" to subdue a would be "attacker"....
It is a VERY legit "attack" :)
Also, in real life a combatant would not want to use nunchucks, as they usually would have access to a more effective weapon. For example, a stick.
Ya, If I were to actually fight with them (pretend I won't knock MYSELF out with them...) I would keep them in a "cocked" position or have them stationary. If you were to fight with fists, you would not wildly swing them around. Boxers don't for sure. They might throw their combos but each punch is more or less "calculated". If your weapon is in motion it cannot "react" to anything.... weather it be defensive block or a strike to a open defense in opponent. If it's in motion "showing off" and a hole opens up.... your busy "showing off" rather than taking advantage of that opening.
If there was distance between me and opponent.... then give them a "show".
They may or may not "wait" but what's actually intended to be happening there is not a taunt, but the way they are actually meant to be used , so that the opponent doesn't actually know when or where the strike will come from. Most typically won't just rush in hoping to avoid being hit, but if they were to just rush in and attack you'd likely be screwed
Bruce Lee didn't really even care for the nunchucku. He learned it though because it did have a nice flare for movies and was taught by Master Fumio Demura's wife. One thing I give the TMNT part is that foam suit wasn't the easiest thing to maneuver for those guys, which I believe all came from Ernie Ryes Sr.'s school. Yet, they all performed pretty damn well in them, form me I give them credit and it's hard to rate practicality with a movie about giant turtles. Black Dynamite with Michael Jai White...he's very knowledgeable but the movie was massive satire so not sure you can take practicality from that. I can see why it was difficult for her to figure all of it in.
I thought it was Dan Inosanto whom first introduced the nunchaku to Bruce Lee.
@@speddyg I believe Dan introduced Bruce to Fumio. Dan showed Bruce more Kali than he did anything else.
Bruce Lee loved nunchucks and was taught by one of his top students Dan Inosanto who you can watch on RUclips.
@@speddyg He was one person who taught him the weapon and he loved nunchucks.
What was Bruce Lee's favorite weapon?
The Game of Death clip with Bruce Lee in his yellow suit, the guy he is fighting is Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's first student. He is now the Grandmaster of Bruce Lee's Martial Arts school. Shannon Lee is the owner though and she handles the business side of things.
Great presentation from Thekla... made it lots of fun & loved her somewhat "matter of fact" view on weapons use... something like a slam dunk contest.
When Thekla says "interacting with someone", all I hear "is beating the snot out of someone..." :) Loved the analysis. Informative and entertaining. Thank you !
RIP Bruce lee still a legend and the reason I fell in love with martial arts!
Thank you for doing this!!!
In response to the comment about Donnie Yen if he had been swarmed, that would be fairly unusual. Even if surrounded, it’s rare to be attacked by more than 5 people at a time due to being in each others way. This scene was perfect. I was jumped by 4 people and I never had more than 2 attacks coming at me at a time.
How do you casually say something like "I was jumped by 4 people" like it was just another day?
@@Antifrost It happens. I've been jumped by 2+ people multiple times.
@@MistaWordz I don't know whether that makes me lucky or you unlucky, but you and the first commentor both have my sympathy nonetheless.
Bruce Lee 10/10 for all the nunchucks moments in his movies
Thank you Miss Hutyrova, for probably the best summary of the efficacy on nunchaku I've seen to date. Like martial arts in general, you have to be practiced to use it effectively. My respect.
I agree, not going to help you in MMA but they are fun.
Thank YOU for spelling it correctly.
@@deltalima6703 Not going to help you in any fight. Possibly the worst, most useless, weapon ever invented. Being a master of the nunchuck is like having a degree in theology - utterly pointless.
@@johnnystrek5403 Do you mean a shinai?
Oh, deleted already? XD
For the record, the comment this replied to tried to draw into question the expertise presented in the video because she didn't know the name of "a Kendo".
Because of Bruce I learn nunchuck when I was a kid. Bruce deserves 10/10.
Great job on the video thanks
Bruce Lee's opponent in Game of Death 13:45 is Master Dan Inosanto, the one who introduced and taught Bruce about nonchucks 🙂
And arnis/kali sticks🇵🇭
A person that knows their stuff
Yep that's true.
Absolutely true facts.
Actually Hanshi Yamashita taught Bruce Lee the Nunchuku..
One of my favorite demonstrations in movies of nunchucks is
"Sidekicks" with Johnathan brandis. Even though he didn't do the demonstration, the guy who did was out of this world.
I love the scene when he hits himself in the back of the head and also when he hits himself in the groin. Lol love that movie.
"Chuck Norris' Karate Kid" is still one of my favorite martial arts films. Aged surprisingly well, and full agreement that the demonstration for the competition was amazing.
I was so expecting to see this scene on here!
Was waiting for this scene the whole time. Disappointed they didn't do it.
This video needs to be redone now that John Wick 4 came out.
That movie had the most realistic use of nunchuck I've ever seen
1:50 that historical description of what a nunchuck was originally used for (smacking grain and wheat) was what I was also originally taught in school, but, thats actually false, The nunchuck (from Okinawa) was used to pull field horses by their nose rings.
You slid the nuchuck (which had rope to attach them not chain) through said nose ring, grabbed both handles, and pull said horse, who probably was tugging some kind of farm plow behind it.
I remember growing up I've always been obsessed with martial arts and people always thought nunchucks were illegal everywhere
The Shinai(bamboo swords) she is talking about isn't made from layered bamboo. It's an individual bamboo stalk split into four slats and then cut and shaped to fit together in form. Its extremely sturdy and she's right that a nunchaku would not be able to snap it in half.
Yeah, they're definitely sturdy (experience from being hit by them lol)
@@NicholasWiewiora the sound of smack is always satisfying.
Yeah, in Japan we used those bamboo swords for practice.
She really doesn’t seem to know much about martial arts in general, and zero about fighting. I’m thinking she’s a purely forms artist.
Notice how her nunchucks are worn at the hands but not on the striking surfaces.
@@JohnOhkumaThiel Yeah Nunchucks look cool but they are stupid impractical as any form of weapon.
The one I’ve been waiting for!! Practice Nunchucks in my spare time. “I can’t rate Bruce Lee, 10!” Love it
An old friend of mine who practiced with nunchucks told me that the "ready" pose with the 'chucks held behind one shoulder, one hand holding same side high like a hammer and the other crossed over and low meant that your opponent couldn't tell where the swing would be coming from depending on which hand you swung with. Something fairly unique to nunchucks as swords/axes/spears/staves have more predictable arcs. I'd also note that in all the various martial arts schools I've trained in I have had demonstrated many times various techniques to deal with swords and staves barehanded but no one have ever tried to show me a way to intercept a nunchuck.
Exactly
The skill curve for mastering the nunchuck is probably one of the highest -- but in terms of unpredictability it's top tier.
Consider that flexible weapons (nunchucks, three section staves, whips, kusari gama, etc.) all have a sufficient length to wrap around limbs raised in defense against them. Ergo, the interception of such weapons probably is not taught because it is ill advised to extend a limb for those weapons to target and/or entrap.
Having worked the nunchaku since I was 13, I can tell you from my own personal experience, the weak point of attack against that is the center chain/rope of the chucks or hand holding them. With a close watchful eye, and knowing the precise time to approach for the takeover is critical. Practice is key, either on the back swing, or closer to the opponent's body, you eventually figure it out, after you get hit a few times... lol
I have praticed the nunchucks since the 80s and still to this day it's like its become a part of me when using is as
Easy as drinking a glass of water, but i prefer using the nunchucks for demostration and the artistic side of it rather
Then expecting to find my self in self defense combat but it does build courage in a person when used for the right
Purpose in a hostile situation this has been said also by Master Yung kil song.
I like that she pointed out what we should hold towards the chain. My couch taught me that the first day and it felt wwaaay more controlled.
I feel that these things being illegal is more about protecting those who are dumb enough to get a pair then promptly bash their own skulls open.
This is both true and funny
Its too keep kids from bashing each other's brains out, in the parking lot after school.
@@springbloom5940 Based on what I saw in high school and onward, I think the chance of some random dumbass clubbing himself in the eye and rupturing his own eye ball is much higher than him hurting others.
Nobody can ever surpass Bruce Lee's greatness in martial arts movies.
CAP JACKIE HAD BETTER MOVIES
@@azaria2435 yea better quality video and idk about story i enjoy Either Jackie and Bruce Lee but Bruce Lee more realistic for martial art and Jackie more like comedy
@@dutasusuindonesia324 exactly Bruce was more realistic while Jackie was more flashy action and acrobats plus comedy
@@azaria2435 yeah, Jackie wouldn’t exist without Bruce Lee. Learn some respect
I think the closest to ever do it was Donnie Yen in the Fist of Legend scene
Hands down the MOST impressive display of someone using nunchucks and it not being a rehearsed action scene, but being used in RL and showing precision, the video with Bruce Lee playing Ping-Pong with Nunchucks is absolutely amazing.
Also, seriously think that getting hit anywhere on the head/face with a REAL strike from a nunchaku is all it would take to make an attacker to not want to continue trying to assault/kill you. I don't care who you are, or how tough you believe or think that you are, if you get it in the ear with these, you're done.
The chances that you can break someone's cheek, orbital bone, or nose is VERY high.
Buuuuuut, the thing is that you need to actually be trained how to use them, otherwise you will most likely end up just hitting yourself in the back of the head, or the ear, or face in general, lol.
Best movie scene though, IMO, that Nunchuck scene in that movie "Sidekicks".
The person wearing that white padded ninja suit...thing, yea, that scene is still just as cool if not COOLER today than when I saw it when I was like 13 or so, lol.
The ping pong video is fake. It was for a Nokia advert many years ago.
I've seen a lot of nunchuck masters vid clips but no one looks as cool as he does. I don't know why exactly, but he just gives me goosebumps.
Would love to see a magician reacting to Harry Potter.
lmao
Trained nunchuck for 20 years traditionally…spot on ..more popular in movies but no one understands what it’s like to be hit by a set of them real nunchucks will put an end to bad confrontation quickly ..this young lady did a great 👍 job spot on
they especially hurt if you hit yourself in the ahhums!
Nunchucks are blunt weapons, a ridiculously good category of weapons when hitting soft targets (like living beings made out of flesh).
Even an idiot would understand their effectiveness, even though I wouldn't say this woman is spot on on them.
She honestly sounds like someone who learned martial artists for show purposes only.
I've been hit by them, didn't even feel it, looked up from the guy I was fighting and noticed that the guy who was hitting me was using them, he quickly switched to a knife when he also noticed they had no effect, the knife on the other hand worked just fine.
@@John_Smith_ I think you have it backwards. If you were fighting a soft, unarmored target, you would almost always want a sharp weapon over a blunt one. Think about it, would you rather be stabbed with a knife or hit with a stick?
Blunt weapons were historically used for two reasons: a) you didnt have a sharp weapon, or b) your opponent was wearing armor tougher than your sharp weapon could pierce effectively.
Plus, nunchucks are among the least effective of blunt weapons. A plain long sturdy stick would be preferable to nunchucks for many reasons, for example greater reach, manouverability and general ease of use.
Though nunchucks are of course better than no weapon at all.
@@John_Smith_ Bro you are so hurt by this lmao.
I enjoyed her critique of all the different scenes, but her voice kept me wanting to hear her say, "and one time...at band camp..." lol Good video!
Those surprise head bonks when practicing are probably a rite of passage haha you can tell she's so humble in part from having experienced getting those accidental hits in amid all the other work she puts into her practice 🤣😭
Michael Jai White's eye fluttering was done explicitly for the Black exploitation comical homage. He clearly is far better with those than what he displayed in Black Dynamite. Love that movie; it's hilarious.
absolutely!!
"Sarcastically, I'm in charge."
Ha ha… I threw that, before I walked in the room. 😎🧨
Michael Jai White is a 5th degree black belt and shotokan, second degree in hapkido and he's well versed than other martial arts. It's kind of insulting that they would have her on here critiquing a master who probably has 30 more years of experience than she does.
@@calvinhoward2277 she didn't know the guy, in fact his acting was so good that even she fell for it. She is not versed in what makes this Blaxploitation-sploitation movie so great
These videos are always so interesting! The range of experts you find is fascinating. Can't wait for the next :)
This person barely knows how to hold the nunchaku other then for show... Not sure I would consider that an expert...
This lady is hardly a nunchuck expert. She admitted she has no experience using them realistically
Loved the down to earth tone, pls bring her back!
Thekla is so cute and great personality in doing this review, would listen to her all day long... great bit and I am glad u included Warrior, just finished watching Season 1!
Thekla is my weapons instructor of about 5 years it was really cool for me to see her on this channel. Congrats Ms Hutyrova :)
When she was wondering about the effectiveness of hitting someone in the head with nunchaku? I have swung a pair of 14" cocobolo wood nunchaku, broken concrete blocks with them- and I can guarantee you that you are talking about skull fractures, unconsciousness, crushed skulls, and enough maxillofacial reconstructive surgery to last for years...
Is nobody going to comment how nice, chill and laid back the super cool lady commentator is? Like she stole the show right there, we need more of her comments
There are more than 2,600 comments: have you read them all?
Give me a break with your "is nobody going to comment..."
🤦♂
Informative - thank you.... Stay alert and safe.
I'd also recommend Scott Adkins in Extreme Challenge, Shawn Yue in Dragon Tiger Gate, and Hayato Ryuzaki in Heroes of the East.
Good to see Alyson Hannigan on our screens again after all these years. 😂😂😂
*ahem* thats Stripper Lily
Expert?
The problem I have with people talking about the effectiveness of nunchucks is them talkingn about bounce-back. If you are hitting with them correctly... which IS with the last inch or so of the stick, it has high velocity and force, and it doesn't bounce back. And you absolutely can catch someone with the chain. If you are already wrapping, they are behind the curve trying to escape that. I fight Praying Mantis, and nearly every block I partially capture with the Mantis Hook. Capturing punches is entirely plausible.
I loved the fact that behind of Bruce lee's nunchuck fighting style is from tabok toyok from the FMA which was introduced to him by Dam Inosanto.
Which left me shocked. All those golden years of watching him use the chucks and thought of it as some kind of kung fu.. But that all changed when I did my research on it to see if it were true.
Thank you so much for your commentary. I really appreciate your candor in sharing what you've learned from your profession. You give me a real feeling of what this art is like. I have been playing with chain and ball, and have experienced enough to appreciate your wisdom. The reflex closing of the eyes when you don't know where the business end is, the attention to hand positiining and practice, your way of saying how many times you've been it in the face, lol.
Just thank you so much. You have a grateful new subscriber, even if I don't practice the nunchucks it's really wonderful to see them in your hands.
Thanks
I recommend everyone watch the TV show warrior that was shown it's a great martial art show
Indeed! Best martial Arts seen in a while! Hbo max picked that series for season 3! That’s a blessing woot woot
Dang! I need to rewatch it😁
Bruce Lee was the first one ever to showcase nunchucks on the screen he definitely deserves a 10 out of 10
he is in inventor of nunchucks
I really enjoyed this video and you my lady is 100 percent awesome.
I remember banging my knees or banging my elbows accidentally so many times learning nunchucks
Sifu Bruce Lee mostly liked Nunchaku for screen performance, but if you notice he is faster with Filipino Escrima sticks. Most modern JKD practitioners use Sticks, swords , and knives also.
Well, it is based for street fighting [shrug]
Honestly, the Nunchaku are the least effective fighting weapon ever. A normal stick is far more effective and in every way a better offensive and defensive weapon. The best thing you can say about Nunchaku are that they are usually better than no weapon at all.
The longer chain is usually associated with the Filipino version of the nunchaku, which is called a Tabak Toyok. Bruce was introduced to them via Daniel Inosanto, who is Filipino and had a Kali background.
I like the scene in Return of the Dragon, where Bruce faces off with an Italian gang. He discards one of his nunchuks early on in the fight, and continues with a single one. By the time he's at the last guy, and he disarms him, that guy picks up the discarded nunchuk and proceeds to hit himself in the face with it.
You mean The way of the Dragon?
@@starkiller258 yes
Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite) is a legit martial artist.
Black belts in 8 arts.
@@shawnsmith2610 he's still not Bruce Lee
The story of that Warrior fight is incredible. He’s slow with it because it’s not actually his. He happens upon them in the melee and just goes with it. It’s awesome.
I agree! The character Ah Sahm uses weapons sparingly, but making him use the nunchucks was a great homage to Bruce Lee. Plus, the actor said he's never used nunchucks before this show and had to train for 6 months prior. Was not easy. lol
I love warrior man, probably one of my favorite shows ever!
I'm not going to even hold anyone up... Bruce could do no wrong in my book.... Pure legend 💪
I’m with you bro!
This was awesome. Growing up in the 80s, my friends and i were all about nunchucks, chinese stars, and ninja-yoroi
As a character yeah it was kinda crummy that they didn't show him fighting with them.... But for the guy in the suit doing the acting, I gotta give him mad props for doing that intro essentially blind.
How was it possible for Johnathan Brandis’ Nunchuck training scenes from Sidekicks, to not make this list? The nunchuck’s were even metal!
Yep
Yeah the dream sequence at the competition, I’ve never seen a better display of blazing fast nun chucking. Hopefully Sidekicks is in part 2
Bruce Lee is thee greatest martial artist to ever live. No one today that can compete with him in terms of power,speed an precision
So on the Nija Turtles, the move that he was doing we used to call a butterfly. Its like a spin, with an extra spin. I could do that with my set either alternating or at the same time which took some upper torso coordination because of the arm pull, and me using real chucks that were about 4 pounds on each set.
My friends in the Tai Chi class liked it because it was slower than when the foam ones were used and they could see how they moved as opposed to the super light practice sets that we could spin like lightning, and as I mentioned before I had the chains measured to my palms so it was easier to walk them around my hands, and they would just go to where I could walk them and grab without having to move my hands up or down.
You need her in more of these. She was so much more fun than your usual people.
I can't believe that a master of nunchucks happens to be a girl. That's like a guy who is considered a master at using nail polish.
@@junofranco6638 wha-... what?
@@MegaEmmanuel09 It's rare to see female martial artist using nunchucks. They're more into swords.
@@junofranco6638 how is liking swords like a guy being a master at using nail polish? Also, the best wig makers in the world are men. Cosmetics industry is ran by men. Is that equivalent to the female expert Muay Thai fighter they have or the female Kali expert?
i agree. she was pretty fun. i still picture the scene, where you knock yourself out with the thing 😆
It's nice to see that she transitioned to martial arts successfully after going to band camp for so many years 😄
I watched the whole video with my mouth agape at how much she looks like Alyson Hannigan.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
American Pie
I was getting "band camp" vibes throughout the whole video.
I can tell this was a fun one for the editor. She has yall doing a lot of cuts, lol
In demonstrating, I use to hold it a little closer to chain, but for actual striking I held it closer to the end for more momentum and avoid being disarm (like in stick fighting).
I like that she wasn't baited on judging an idol like Bruce Lee, probably because she feels there it is entrapment and out of respect for him.
For that, she has definitely earned my respect.
I like how nunchucks made of wood are illegal but bullets made out of metal are not
Are you serious?! Bullets can't fire themselves, you need a gun, duh, which requires a license to carry one. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.
If you think that they should be legal, well that depends on the state as you know, but they can do some serious dmg and they can be easily concealed, so that's probably why they're illegal in some states and countries.
Lmao the amount of ignorance in this comment is hysterical
I bet wooden bullets are illegal as well.
@@Jackkenway
It's slightly easier to kill someone with a gun. And this is coming from a stalwart defender of the Second Amendment.
😂😂😂😂
clicked with interest while also thinking about TMNT (1990) and I was not disappointed :)
I find it interesting that most people hold nunchakus high near the rope or chain, which makes control easier. Bruce Lee held the nunchaku closer to the bottom which demonstrates his greater degree of control and extends the range of the weapon. Note that Dan Inosanto holds it in a similar manner.
Maybe this movie isn't well known, but there is an INSANE nunchuku demonstration in a kids movie from 1993 called *Sidekicks* with Chuck Norris and Jonathan Brandis.
Wish she did that one too.
You remindet me of a movie I watched in my youth a hundred Times and forget completly. Thx and you are right.
Yes, great scene.
The white Ninja!
Awesome movie
I used to religiously rent that from blockbuster as a kid lol
No critique of Uncle Ruckus using nunchucks vs Huey from the Boondocks? Very disappointing!
Bushido Brown is a legend lol
That movie theater scene was 🔥
She's great -- engaging and she teaches quite a bit. Though I've watched a lot of nunchuck scenes in movies, I don't have anything beyond a naive person's understanding and it of course makes one wonder how realistic they are.
Wow! If Alyson Hannigan were going to make an action movie, Thekla can totally be the stuntwoman! 😎
"A nunchuck to the knee cap" I love it!
I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a nunchuck to the knee cap.
did she mean bruce lee or the tmmt? im too lazy to watch the entire video
Bruce Lee is beyond criticism when it come to nunchaku. He literally popularized it, although it was never originally a weapon in his arsenal.
He wouldn't have mastered it if it wasn't in his " arsenal" whatever that's supposed to mean,
@@EmperorNerox he mastered the weapon from his friend Dan Inosanto ( Master of Kali/Escrima).
@@markiec8914 inosanto was one of them. The other person who taught Bruce lee nunchaku techniques was tadashi yamashita
Great take
The best demo of nanchaku was in the movie "Sidekicks" when the main character is portrayed as a ninja. I can't tell if they fast forwarded it to make it look faster, but the demo (basically the entire scene since it's at a competition) was awesome.
