Hi everybody

Post by Hrabanus »

I'm 35, from Germany. I've been doing this'n'that (e.g. fire performance, woodworking, working with children) and am currently digging myself into Go.

My first contact was about 15 years ago when a friend introduced me to that unusual and beautiful game. I liked it from first sight but since he was an absolute beginner too, we didn't get very far.
This January i came across it again and was intrigued (again). But now i've got internet and can find other players easily. :D

And i've got a lot of questions!

I often use this vage term because the device i used is unknown to many people and how to work it not so easily described, though when i think about, it's likely that people here know the nunchaku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunchaku.
Basically you just put some special wick around the ends, set them afire and have some fun :D
I just did a quick search on youtube and was surprised to find some very good people—last time i had a look there was close to zero.
I worked with one and two nunchuks, did a bit of firebreathing and tried some other burning things like pois but did not perform with them. I appeared (is that the right expression?) with other jugglers and musicians in different constellations and by myself on the street.

And now i start to get nostalgic… :)
