A little while ago now I had a martial artist, self taught in the the art of Jeet Kune Do, arrive at the studio to capture a personal portfolio, his specialty – the nun chuck.
So I thought I would take this opportunity to have a play with some slower flash speeds and capture a little motion in the moves, along side some flash and blur techniques so we can see the movement of the weapons.

Luke posed ready to strike

Deep into a Kata, eyes closed and deep in concentration. Perfect control

Click me!

Silhouetted – he didn’t want to swing this beast around!!

Scary stuff, this came incredibly close!!

AS DID THESE!!! Just as controlled a double as fierce!!

Little silhouette captured the nun chuck vertical!

Taking advantage of the ambient light for the added drama, we moved this adventure outdoors for a few extra images!!

Now lets see some movement from those nun chucks!!

Weapons used during the shoot.

All hand crafted and finished by Luke himself

One Nun Chuck

Or Two??

Luke is also well versed in Jodo and and has a selection of Jo’s, but we unfortunately ran out of time so are saving them for our next session ;)
