How to Do an Over the Back Throw with Nunchucks

1. Hold the nunchucks straight using both hands.

2. Hold one end in your right hand and let the other fall to the side.

3. Throw the nunchucks behind your back and catch it with your left hand. It should spin at least once before landing in your left hand. As you improve your skill, try to increase the number of spins.

• Watch yourself in the mirror to ensure you're throwing the nunchucks correctly.
