"CALAB LABARDA: Oh, hi. My name is Calab Labarda, I'm a third degree black belt in Taekwondo. I'm here with Expert Village, and today, I'm going to teach you how to use speed chucks. Alright. Now, we're going to go over on how to do your wrist spins, okay? Wrist spins look really cool. You can do it up from Xs or side to side, okay? In this one, you will drop your nunchuck a lot so get ready for it, alright? So, hold your nunchuck, one thumbing from the top, this is what your wrist is going to look like. One, two, okay? It's very simple to do. It just takes practice and you have to be able to go with the flow of your nunchuck. Okay, so, the first step, you can just toss it over your wrist just like that, okay? The second step, is you gotta put your hand straight out like this and say "Hi." Wave your fingers. Alright. Now, the bottom step, the last step, you're going to reach around, grab and flip it over. Now, your nunchuck should be completely upside down, okay? Now, we're going to spin it back over so the direction that it came from, we're going to do the same thing just the opposite. You're going to flip it over, it should be on your wrist, rest it on your wrist, wave "Hi.", grab your nunchuck and flip it back over just like that. So, as you do it, just do it slow. One, two, flip. One, two flip. And then just start getting it, get a nice smooth motion. Don't do it hard at first, okay? If you do it too hard, it'll fly to your hand and you'll lose your nunchuck. You want to keep it enclosed and spin, one, two, one, two. Okay, just get that down. Practice it with both hands. Okay. Just like that and that's your wrist--spin over the wrist. You can do it from an X and then flip over one, two, all the way to your catch. So, practice that in one, two, catch. One, two, catch, okay? Now, it's a good exercise to practice how to do your wrist spin."
