• What is Kata? Why is it necessary in Safety Nunchaku?

  Kata is like a formula. Without formula there is no Mathematics. Kata is like a literature. Without literature, there is no language. Kata is like law and order. Without law and order, there is no society. Same way, in Safety Nunchaku too, no Safety Nunchaku without kata. The entire secret of Safety Nunchaku is in kata. Each movement in kata is ‘moving meditation’. As we sit with our eyes closed & concentrate in meditation, likewise, one kata of Safety Nunchaku is equivalent to meditating 12 times. While meditating we control our five senses. Same way, while performing kata too, we need to concentrate and control five senses. Else, safety nunchaku cannot be controlled. Therefore, kata is very very essential in safety nunchaku.

• Who can create kata? What are the capacities required for it?

  In olden days, Katas were created by Japanese Masters in Karate. They were able to Create Katas with their vast & many years of experience in the field and also due to their own tremendous efforts and dedicated training.

  I followed the same path having experience in the field for almost 45 years. I have attended various Seminars and Tournaments in national as well as international level. I got trained by experts in martial arts in various style grandmasters especially Shito-Ryu Grandmasters. I have been able to define Katas due to my own efforts and having developed depth knowledge by regular training and by doing continuous research in various martial arts. With long years of my struggle, I am now able to Create 16 Katas in Safety Nunchaku and programmed techniques for each Kata by having known the meaning of each technique and designed properly and also after practicing the techniques by more than hundred times. I am planning to define some more Katas; which will be released as my second edition. Following are the eligibility required to frame kata.

  • Courage is required to Create Katas. Because those who have the sound knowledge and experience in Safety Nunchaku only can have the efficiency in martial arts, long research, practice, courage and capacity to create Katas.
  • Should be well aware of the Safety Nunchaku to answer any question raised by anybody at any time.
  • Should be able to explain the combinations in safety nunchaks katas -- nunchaku
  • It is important to have deep knowledge on each technique of safety nunchaku.
  • If the names are found for each movement only, one can able to do practice by understanding it and can bring all the movements together in Katas.
  • Unless one have years together of practice and research, travelled to many countries, met several masters in martial arts, has a vast knowledge, cannot frame kata on his/her own.
• We heard that you have created new Techniques, Syllabus & Katas. Since there are others practicing in Nunchaku?

  You are asking about ‘nunchaku’. I have created ‘safety nunchaku’. Already I have given the differences between nunchaku and safety nunchaku.

  Also, before 20 years, ‘Doctor’ means only MBBS Doctor. When we go to him, he can cure all our diseases by giving medicines. We trusted him that he can cure any diseases. He was also called as ‘Family Doctor’. But today, we have specialised Doctors for each part of our body. To add that, we can see the advertisement boards for doctors to treat particular diseases for various parts of the body. We are meeting the doctors as per the nature of the diseases in various parts of our body.

  Likewise, the art of ‘Kobudo” consist of various types of weapons to use it while fighting. Everybody cannot become a master as he got trained with various types of weapons. I got a vision to learn the essentials of all weapons and to select one particular type as a special or major subject in 1992 when I was undergoing the training in California at America with the Japanese Master Fumio Demura who was an expert in those days itself had written lots of books and acted in stunts in various films.

  Already there are several people practicing ‘Nunchaku’. But they did not go deep into Nunchaku. Whereas I have made a detailed study of each movement, named them, formed syllabus for each Belt with foramtion of techniques, Created 16 katas & established it as a sport, framed rules for the sport for Safety Nunchaku to suit the present scenario. The syllabus, techniques, Katas are written by me in Tamil got translated in English and Hindi and hence there is no doubt that the Safety Nunchaku will stand as a different one in the field of martial arts not only in India but all over the World.

• Self Defense art means only we remember Karate and Japanese. So how your "Safety Nunchaku" will get importance?
  • I am not denying that all over the world ‘self defense art’ means they know only Karate and Japanese. Even though other Countries involved in “Outerspace research” the world is looking towards India’s research today”. Every research will get lots of remarks & only if it experienced then it can be accepted. It applies for ‘Safety Nunchaku” also.
  • The motherland of ‘Karate’ is India. No one can deny and forget that this art had gone from India especially from Tamilnadu only. Because this matter had been accepted and written by Japanese Grand Masters and World Karate Federations. Hence there is no wonder that “Safety Nunchaku” is introduced from India.
  • Myself and the one whom I had written as “Father of Indian Karate” – a Karate expert Renshi R.V.Tamilmani will always be discussing that many foreigners have to come to India to learn Matial Art from us. My ambition is that our dream has to come true. Also I am trying to change the trend of appreciating and spreading the expertise of foreigners alone and forgetting our own potentials.
  • Now the mindset of people all over the world is to learn easily without any hard work; which is brand new and fastest way of leaning. Like ‘Fast food”. Safety Nunchaku in that case when compared to other martial arts, without physical hard work can be trained easily and quickly. Hence Safety Nunchaku is a tool that can attract people all around the world.

  Also after having made research for almost 23 years, as a Self Defense expert, I want to dedicate the Safety Nunchaku art for forthcoming generation. That is why I visited many Countries and met various eminent personalities in this field and had lots of discussions with them and spent lakhs of rupees to achieve my goal in forming ‘Safety Nunchaku”. Hence Safety Nunchaku can definitely be trained by public, working women, school and college students and the people who are already getting trained in the field of martial arts. Since today’s society has started to give importance for physical fitness and self defense, I trust that Safety Nunchaky will spread not only in India but all over the world and will bring name and fame to the Tamilnadu from where Karate was born.

• Is Safety Nunchaku will be useful on medicinal grounds?

  Yes absolutely. Definitely, due to following reasons, safety nunchaks can be used for both medical & mental practice.

  • The reason doctors advise diabetic patients to go walking every day is that by giving exercise to the legs, diabetes can be kept in check.
