low traffic here mate - likely those who read it simply gots nothing. Check out Amazon.com - should be a few books on the subjects. Of course if you want to get any better than a casual rube, then showing up at a school would be needed. I would thing a school of Karate with it's Okinawan roots intact should teach some nunchaku techniques and kata. I was tempted to snark out and ask you what your instructor said - which implies of course that not starting with a competant instructor is a waste of time. You also may look into escrima - some folks hav nunchaku technique - the weapon is known as Tabak Toyuk in escrima/arnis. (it was tabak toyuk technique that Dan Inosanto introduced Bruce Lee to.) Finally if you want to do more than just look cool twirling it about, you should find folks to spar live with one against similiar and other weapons - The Dog Brothers are well-known for their full-contact stickfighting matches using minimal armor. Be aware that while it's possible to block with one, it is much easier to block with a rigid weapon. Also flexible weapons rely totally on speed to do damage - all impacts are essentially ballistic in nature - with a rigid weapon, one can transfer one's own weight into the impact as well - it'd the difference between punching someone and throwing a chopped off fist at the opponent. (nunchacku can get going faster than one can usually throw due to the whipping arc effect, but the comparison is still valid)

that is a very new idea to me. I will try it. It does take away from the distance and range I am used to operating with though
