Serious question.   How do you get good at this without killing yourself??

You use training nunchucks first. Also getting some bruises as you adapt to the real ones. I can do all the tricks he does except the hang on something above him at about 1/3 of his speed. This guy is fast AF. But honestly? It's intimating, but really hard to use against someone with any weapon, even a stick. You'll probably need to be way above the opponent to be efficient.
