NUNCHAKU EXERCISE ORGANISATION
NUNCHAKU GRADES
NEO has several grades that can be achieved.
The Primary ones are based around the four cornerstones or primary catches that give you a springboard into the exploration of Nunchaku.
Skill levels have to be high and sustained to attain grades.
Our belt or tag colors are white, grey, green, blue, purple, red, brown
and black.
The first grade or LFCgrade
consists of the display and understanding of all the techniques taught. Followed by the drill repeat exercise LF8 x50 and a LF8 expend x50.
The basic blocking Kata or Kihon block kata and
the Fumio Demura Kihon kata.
This kihon Kata can help to alleviate boredom whilst
repeating certain techniques with movement, the Kihon blocking Kata
has 17 blocks repeated. Like the main Kata this one also uses
movement, there are two types of turns, front Dual Blocks and side
blocks.
Once these Four primary catches have been achieved to the required standard, you should be well skilled, fluid and versatile.
The remaining grades will cover working more with movement and techniques combined, reversed hand grip techniques, other advanced techniques, two step sparring and
half kumite. Theory to complement the above with a view to teaching.
Throughout training other techniques, exercises, and aids to training will be imparted and used to support the student.
Further study and presentation of other styles and techniques integrated into the lesson plan will help the student to expand their comprehension and understanding of Nunchaku
as well as expanding on a database of techniques.
