Wednesday - Taekwondo, Nunchaku, Three Section Staff

Made myself a three sectional staff today out of pine. It is a bit wide, but whatever it is the wood I had on hand. Used some chain, although I appear to have lost my extra chain. I'll look for it.

The weapon itself is pretty dangerous to learn how to use, but I can do some basic spins and figure-8s. I need to figure out how to transfer between them.

Practiced wrist rolls with the nunchaku, I can basically continually roll backward for upwards of 10 rolls no problem now. One of the strings broke, but I can't order to MA, so I will hope the rest don't break.

Taekwondo today, did some kicks in the air, mostly sidekicks. Practiced front kicks, punching combos with front kicks, axe kicks, turning kicks, and reverse turning kicks. Did Eui Am at the end, I seem to still remember it. Nice.
