Roll

Nunchaku technique terminology: Rolls are a group of nunchaku techniques. Artists release the handle and propel the nunchaku on a circular path, rolling them around a part of the body.

Rolls are often started by releasing the handle, and/or completed by catching a stick, but they are also a common form of contact-nunchaku, and can flow from/into other rolls and aerials without being caught in a hand.

Roll techniques can be divided into three main subgroups:
 * 1) Digit rolls: The nunchaku roll around finger(s) and/or thumb.
 * 2) Wrist rolls: The nunchaku roll around the wrist(s).
 * 3) Body rolls: The nunchaku roll around any other part of the body - usually arms, legs or neck.
