Downward Swing

Nunchaku space and movement terminology: Downward Swing (also known as Downswing, Downward Spin or Downspin) is a direction of movement, relative to the artist. If there was an obstacle in front of the artist, the flail would hit the obstacle travelling downwards.

Downward swing is the opposite of upward swing.

Downward Swing is abbreviated as Dw.

For example, a 'Dw Shoulder-Pass' is a 'Downward Swing Shoulder-Pass'. This is the reverse of an 'Uw Shoulder-Pass' (Upward Swing Shoulder-Pass).
