People who are into ancient fighting techniques as well as traditional ancient weapons would know that the martial arts are one such brand of fighting that not only dates back centuries but also has many mysterious weapons in it. One of these amazing weapons is the simplistic and multi-faceted nunchucks or nunchaku. They are the same thing but you might find some variations of these weapons. Real Nunchucks For Sale are essentially two short wooden sticks that are connected by rope and are flung around to fight and self-defend.
The reason that they are so simplistically built is also deeply rooted in Central Asian culture. Wooden nunchucks were first invented in Okinawa, Japan. Civilians were left to defend themselves against the tyrannous rule of the Shimazu clan in Japan in the 17th Century, which banned the use of any weapons for the general public. In their quest to keep themselves safe, civilians created alternative weapons that could help them in cases of attack; nunchuks were also part of these weapons. Since bamboo and wood was readily available and grew abundantly in the area, wooden sticks were tied together with simple rope to create the first wooden nunchucks that could be used in different fighting techniques to counter attacks

Since they are built simply, and there are some variations of the real nunchucks that are also made with foam padded sticks, or metal rods, they are still designed the same way and the focus of their usage in a fight is primarily reliant on the way the fighter uses them.

Here are some basic poses and techniques you can try out with nunchuks:

Basically, you grip one side of the nunchaku and leave the other one free and spin it away from your body, you start moving it in an eight-number spin or infinity symbol until it gains momentum. Helicopter Spin:
As it’s evidenced from the name, this move requires you to stick your left arm out, and extend your right hand in the air with the nunchaku and start spinning it gradually like a helicopter. The spin can be used to deflect any strike aimed at our head.
Eye Strike:
This is a relatively simplistic move that is made to defend against a direct attack to the face. Both ends of the nunchuks are held firmly at the holder’s eye level, the chain or rope is stretched in front of the holders face and the ends are rotated to face the opponent that helps block a strike to the face, either with a hand or a knife.
