The good thing about numchucks is that they will let you know if you screw up in any way, the best way to learn is to get a good DVD, sorry I dont know any, and a pair of numchucks then just play around with them until you start learning, then practice with them. This way you wont get burned out on them and you will learn at your own pace and it will actually be fun. If you have never used them before you will probably get quite a few bruises, but those are lessons learned.
As for the learning multiple disciplines at the same time, it is okay to do, as long as you arent looking to major in one, otherwise you need to start out with just that one until you are getting the hang of it, then throw in another kind whenever you want. It is best to do it that way, but it isnt impossible to learn multiple ones all at once, you just need to split them up correctly, no more than 2 disciplines a day, and no more than twice a week.
That doesnt mean not to practice or play around with them on your off training days, actually that will help you out significantly. For example I study Boxing, NHB, Muay Thai, Clinch Work, Ground N Pound and Submission Wrestling, I train in just 2 a day, and I split them up. I train 6 days a week so it works out perfectly for me. But I did start out with just Boxing, then adding in Muay Thai, these two are the base disciplines for MMA in my opinion, so I wanted to get a good foundation with them before adding anything else.
Hope this helps and good luck, also if you want expert advice, go to a martial art forum, or an MMA forum, those guys are real nice and professional, but there will always be one jerk off in there somewhere.

They say that once you reach the top of the mountain, the view down is the same, regardless of your path up. If you train in various arts (diligently), you will find that they are all doing the same thing - the same moves - only the names and the philosophy changes.

buy some or make some nunchukus yourself.... get to know the intimate workings of the weapon. Most Karataka styles do not teach nunchuku until you have obtained your black belt, but there is nothing stopping you from practising with them on your own. one word of warning... they do bite if you do not know what you are doing so take it easy.... also if you hit someone on the head with nunchuku they will bounce straight back at your own head very quickly, so practice striking objects and catching the recoil.. any weapon is an extension of your own body, so you need to learn how it will react to your movements to become efficient with it. :-)
