Think we could find 10 people on E-D to be the knife-wielders? > I have always found it to be a rather poor weapon (in the > hands of other people) when I have been using sticks. It is > just too easy to tangle it up. I agree. Nunchaku are just not a really effective weapon for just about anybody. I allow for the possibility that somebody out there can use them well, I just haven't seen it yet myself. > This guy seems pretty serious though - he trains the Chinese > police. I dunno how serious he is - did you check his website out? It's mostly his artwork, including a page devoted to "Painting For The Idol" - the biography section starts out with "Li Yancai, a successful entrepreneur, a practical Wushu master, and a faithful follower and performer of the spirit and philosophy of Bruce Lee." and it just gets "better" from there! 8-) Cheers!
