As previously stated on the Nunchaku
book page my inspiration for taking up and continuing to study and
train with Nunchaku
has been primarily threefold; My brother's initial input, the teachings of
Master Fumio Demura and the Nunchaku in motion as shown by Master Bruce
Lee in his films. Subsequent input has certainly come but up until only
recently has more Nunchaku in motion been available for study.
So for me,
for a very long time, Master Bruce Lee's Nunchaku in motion was all there
was. These were the first and have transpired to be for me the most
meaningful and this still holds true. However, I understand that Master
Bruce Lee may have had more than one instructor or advisor in the use of
this weapon.
So who inspired Master Bruce Lee?
Who are these instructors? How much
influence did they have? What were their Nunchaku roots? What were the
times and dates of their meetings and where did these take place? Would
you see their influence, or was it completely altered or changed by Master
Lee?
I would like to study their teachings and see their
Nunchaku in motion, if such material is available. So...How? What? Where?
and When?
November 2006: An update to this, in recent research, has
put forward at least one candidate as showing Master Bruce Lee Nunchaku
techniques and suggested or inspired the Nunchaku sets used in one or more
of his films.
The legendary karate master Hidehiko "Hidy" Ochiai. I
shall do some more research to see what techniques can be found through
this Master. Apparently he has written several books on the Martial Arts
and the philosophy behind it.
