Alex Stick teaches nunchaku behind-the-back techniques—shimmying, blind catches, and an over-the-head wrap—to sharpen dexterity and mobility. In this lesson, Alex moves away from combat combinations to focus purely on dexterity and mobility. These behind-the-back techniques aren’t fighting applications — they’re training tools designed to build hand-eye coordination and comfort handling the nunchaku outside your direct line of sight.
Three techniques are covered: the waist shimmy (which flows into a disguised entry to your combat stance), the blind behind-the-back catch using a two-bounce lead-in off the knees, and the over-the-head wrap, where the sticks travel all the way over your head without either hand ever releasing them.
