"CALAB LABARDA: Alright, now, hence the word speed for speed chucks. You do want to practice going fast, okay? That's what's going to make these look flashy and cool, okay? One thing you could do to your nunchucks, these ones, I don't have them chrome but you can get chrome film. It's sticky. Put it all the way around your nunchucks, make it look nice and chromey, gives it a nice flash especially in florescent lighting or gym lighting or somewhere it has like a pretty good lighting that you like to perform. So, again, we're talking about speed right now, okay? So, we're going to practice here, past your basic outside spin, okay? Get it moving and then start going faster about medium, okay, and start going faster. Okay. So, the nunchuck's just looks like a blur, and I start going up and down with it. Back and forth, okay, all the way to a catch. So, one more time here, spin, bam. So, just train one hand at a time, getting the other going fast as you can, bam, all the way to a catch. Now, a good way to do it also practice your L strikes, okay? So, from here, bam, just do your basic L strikes, no need to do anything fancy yet. From here, start doing medium and then start going faster. And then switch side, bam, all the way to a catch."
