   Nunchaco and Me | Kung-Fu and MeThe Legend Bruce Lee | Michael Jackson

MixedMusics.mpg

MixedMusics.mpg is my last record until now. (July, 2002) I can easily tell that this is the best one of all because it contains lots of different musics. The harmony with musics is spectacular. And the transition from one to another, of course. And I didn't make any preparations before the record. Everything happened suddenly, which reduced the stress on me and made everything more spontaneous.  

I think I gotto thank to Dima, my friend from university, for his help about MixedMusics. The introduction part, transitions and the interview part at the last seconds  of the record are totally his ideas that he produced on the spur of the moment. 


AN ACCIDENT

For the first time in my life I got wounded by nunchaco and I really feel lucky because this happened in front of camera. So, I am able to share every detail with you here now. How it hit my eye, what happened after the accident, and even the situation of my eye after three days... All is here.

I was alone during the record. It is really the strangest one of all.  I was a little tired because for more than two hours I had worked on some other records, one of which is Thriller2.mpeg (seen below)

the moment it hit me.

WITH MICHAEL JACKSON

Michael Jackson has been a source of inspiration for my dance. I got a CD from my friend, watched his clips and observed his impressive dance very carefully. In two weeks, my style changed remarkably. I started to think more flexible about what I can do with nuncaco during music.

TheyDontCare.mpg

'They dont care about us' has its own dance style for me. Because the music is different. The music is so attractive that I should develop a special choreography for that.


Thriller-Kicks.mpg

I had to see what I can do if I don't have nunchaco with me during music. So, this record emerged. I really wonder what professional dancers would think about the dance style I performed here. But I should emphasize that whatever they say this is just a beginning of a new style :)). 

 

 

WITH METALLICA

Metallica is attractive for me just because of the speed of the music. In fact, I believe the style of  Metallica is a very suitable style for the dance of nunchaco. JusticeForAll.mpeg (below) is my fastest record. 

JusticeForAll.mpg

ShortestStraw.mpg

The sound is not that good in ShortestStraw.mpeg. In fact, it is terrible. It is one of the records that nunchaco flied off out of my hand and hit somewhere in a random way. I feel lucky because it has  not been a problem until now.


The only thing I like in the following record is the way I am dressed up. It is really boring. I don't recommend you to watch it.

MY FIRST RECORD

April, 2001

MyFirstRecord.mpg

One day, while going to home by bus, I saw two of my close friends among a group of people from bus. I just suddenly got off the bus and said hi. And without telling me anything they told me to jump in another bus to go a party. After recording the party with their camera, I told  them to go my home to record me dancing with nunchaco. That night, at about 23:00 or 24:00 we took MyFirstRecord.mpg. And my story about nunchaco dance started there,  But for other records, I had to wait one year more. So, all the other records you see here is one year later after this event.

So, those are the scenes that nuncaho broke off. All of them happened unexpectedly. As I said before, there was no injury or any other similar problem. 

How I Have a Drill...

Preparation2.mpg

That is what I do with nunchaco without music. And how I get prepared. With music, the number of things I can do reduces inevitably. There are also some moves that I can't still do easily even without music.  

An Interview About Nunchaco

Interview.mpg

Me and Dima are talking about what nunchaco is, my relation with it, how music and nunchaco were combined and things like that.  

 

 We made all of the records between February and May 2002 except for MyFirstRecord.mpg
