For as long as I can recall, I have been a massive Bruce Lee fan. I cannot count the quantity of hours I have spent watching his movies, nor the number of hours spent trying to emulate his wonderful martial arts maneuvers. There is one scene in distinct that will be with me until the end of my days the scene from Enter the Dragon exactly where Bruce kicks some critical poor guy ass with his trusty Nunchakus.

A generation of wanna-be Bruce Lee's was spawned by that very scene. How a lot of of you went out and haphazardly produced your own 'chucks after seeing this flick? I was surely inspired to do so, and so were most of my friends. Most of us utilized wooden handles, and immediately after some experimentation decided to switch to anything softer. Twenty years later, I nevertheless have a bump on my head.

Right after introducing my son to the magic of Bruce Lee, I decided to manufacture a pair of Nunchakus for him to play with. Getting learned from my rather painful errors, I constructed them from those disposable glow sticks that all the Raver kid's use. Here's how you can make some, also:

Obtain a provide of glow sticks and some nylon rope.

Cut a length of rope about 5 inches long.

Attach two glow sticks with each other with the nylon rope.

Start swinging.

Admittedly, it is a easy design. My first set was constructed in record time, which must have seemed like a lifetime to my son as he waited patiently. I produced a second set and we spent the afternoon playing enjoyable ninja games. After that, we had a Power Rangers movie marathon. My son is especially keen on the Red Ranger. I choose the Blue a single.

Later on that evening, we decided to have one particular much more ninja battle prior to bed. It is amazing how inspiring Bruce Lee can be. The wonderful factor about our new nunchakus is that they glow in the dark. I dimmed the lights and performed my finest Bruce Lee impression. My son was entirely awestruck, as he watched the twirling glowstick nunchakus. I only hit myself in the head as soon as. Only this time, it didn't hurt. read
