Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this volume also shows some very basic Nunchaku techniques; nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to first read and study Demura's first book (Nunchaku: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense)on this weapon. Like many martial artists, for a while many years ago I was fasinated with the Nunchaku. However, in spite of its flashy and sometimes effective techniques, I realized the limitations of this tool for self-defense. This volume covers several different methods to grasp the Nunchaku, various swinging and striking techniques, how to change grips, double flips, combinations and how to use the double Nunchaku. It also has a Nunchaku kata. In conclusion, if you desire to master this weapon, you will want this volume in your personal library. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

Summary: 3 Stars
This book should be a follow up of Demura first book. This book still covers basics, which it does well. I would recommend this as a basic or intermediate book.Book Review: Basic instruction guide...
Summary: 3 Stars
It was a bit basic but it did provide a good foundation for swinging the 'chucks. The photos are a bit confusing at times, but I've been able to figure them all out eventually. What I find lacking is the philosophy behind the nunchaku movements; in other words, why do we do such things or why do we decide to go in this direction? Understanding the philosophy to the art will help users develop their own techniques and styles...Book Review: Best book of its kind
Summary: 5 Stars
The images are a little hard to understand sometimes, but what can you expect, it's kind of an old book. I've never had a problem understanding them, yet the descriptions are a little confusing, but nothing that can't be figured out. I haven't found another nunchaku book as good as this one. I had already had some previous training before I purchased this book, but sometimes I just forget certain moves and the pattern at the end is a great addition.
