Nunchack

Traverse the attachments using only your hands.

Nunchack

Nunchuck elements challenge your precision grip and body control as you move from one small vertical hold to the next using only your hands. Keep your core tight, minimize swinging, and look ahead to the next grip. Lead transitions with your hips and move smoothly rather than rushing. To train for it, use towel/rope hangs for pinch strength, dead hangs for endurance, and practice controlled swings to develop steady rhythm.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Traverse the attachments using only your hands.
  • Ring the bell at the end.
  • Use only the attachments — do not grab the ropes, slings, or chains used to affix the attachments to the structure.
  • Stay within one lane without moving sideways.

DISALLOWED

  • Feet touching the ground to gain an advantage.
  • Feet or legs touching the attachments, including traversing above the bars.
  • Grabbing ropes, slings, or chains attaching the attachments to the structure.
  • Using more than one lane to complete the obstacle.
  • Failure to ring the bell.

USE ONLY HANDS

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Only 1 attempt allowed — no retries.
  • A competitor is considered to have attempted the obstacle once both feet leave the starting step.
  • Competitors may use horizontally located truss to start or transfer during the traverse phase.
