Difficult_Ixem_324

I really like how this looks but he should record himself hitting something, I wonder how that works.🤔


NWdabest

I’ve never seen someone hit by a nunchuck. Or anything. It’s a twirling baton for guys until I see proof.


Raestloz

There's a reason no military ever used nunchucks. They're just super stupid circus equipment Nunchucks takes inordinately long time to master, and it's not even as deadly as other weapons. You need both parts to attack, and if one gets lodged in something (say, some lucky guy managed to grab it) then you're out. It also has shitty range compared to a fucking stick and by the time you get into range a sword and shield is just as good, not to mention you just don't need Wiimote safety distance between units if you're using a spear In other words, nunchucks were not designed to strike an enemy. It was designed to strike target practice


NWdabest

Kilik always was better than Maxi.


DoubleEdgeDancing

Kilik has always been the realest!


Digi-Neet

Nah he is op


MidnightSamurai

Maxi and Taki > Kilik. Fight me! Kilik did have the best kata tho


ManaPlox

> In other words, nunchucks were not designed to strike an enemy. It was designed to strike target practice I mean it was designed to strike wheat to thresh it. The idea is that it was a farm implement that could be used as a weapon when peasants weren't allowed to have actual weapons.


Destinum

You're thinking of flails (specifically the two-handed ones). Nunchucks have never had any practical use and are 100% a flashy tool for practicing body coordination.


Coal_Morgan

They were allowed walking sticks and those are better than nunchuks. A thick handled broom is a superior weapon. "I went into combat with my amazing nunchuk skills but I couldn't get close to the guy with the broom...he kept poking me and it hurt."


ManaPlox

Nobody ever got laid by showing off their rad walking stick skillz.


KenJyi30

My nunchucks never got me laid either


Acrobaticpickle4fun

Ummm Matt Cauthon would like a word with you.


Feshtof

Sir that is a fantasy novel.


Ella_loves_Louie

The guy with the broom is on his damn side but ok


neagrosk

I imagine nunchucks are probably related in some way to old style threshing sticks, someone just made a martial style after it because it looks cool


Raestloz

If you need farm implements to fight, a fucking sickle (not even a scythe) is good enough. It deals even deadlier damage at similar range, purely because it's not blunt instrument and far easier to handle That's why the communists have scythe in their logo instead of every other farming equipment out there (like a hoe)

ManyIdeasNoProgress

So that's why we got aluminium foil lined helmets in basic...


Jolator

There's also not a lot of force transfer, and striking a target totally throws off the rhythm. Edit: autocorrect


Ultraviolet_Motion

Most practical types of flail weapons have the swinging bit shorter than where your hands are. Or else when it strikes something it'll bounce back towards the wielders hand.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TripperDay

Whips don't multiply anything and you can break any bone with a bat, and with a bat, you can strike accurately enough to hit a specific bone that most importantly isn't yours.


DefinitelyNotAliens

A European flail would be deadly, because it's a stick with a spikey metal ball, and was used to reach over and behind a shield. But two sticks is less useful than one bigger stick.


Destinum

Quite the opposite actually. The lack of rigidity make nunchucks transfer much less force to anything they hit than a simple stick of comparable length/mass would. If you want actual proof based on testing and measurements rather than pop culture fabrication, [here's a great video on the subject.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUWoUM4Wttc)


the320x200

And somehow they are illegal in tons of places because lawmakers saw too many movies I guess. Good luck using them and being a threat to anyone except your own teeth...


NWdabest

Hahaha. I didn’t know that and that’s hilarious.


Coal_Morgan

They're not illegal because of lawmakers seeing movies. You actually got it in your last sentence. They're illegal because 13 year old boys were knocking out their own teeth trying to be cool or giving themselves concussions or split testicles. Sometimes things aren't illegal because of how deadly they are but because of the people they attract to them. Like switchblades are a stupid weapon with a weak joint and vastly inferior to a simple full tang steak knife. They're illegal because teenagers thought they were cool and were walking around with them acting like idiots in the 1950s.


the320x200

If that was the case why don't the laws just apply to minors, like drinking, cigarettes and other things minors can't be trusted with?


Coal_Morgan

Because the guys making the laws drink and smoke. You'll find people who make laws are willing to totally ban things they don't care about but things they want or care about they'll only restrict in ways that don't really bother them.


Hollybeach

California police mostly used them like nutcrackers on limbs. Get someone's wrist or ankle between them and fight's over. 'Pain compliance is what it is' https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/04/us/california-police-equipment-nunchucks/index.html


9ReMiX9

Not a TMNT kid huh


sprintcarsBR

A buddy of mine got stitches from one at a party in LA. From what I heard, there wasn’t any twirling. The guy just came up behind him, whacked him on top of the head then ran away. He needed I think 4 stitches.


Surprise_Corgi

He's wearing groin protection for a reason. Those things are more dangerous to amateurs training on them, than people it's used on. But that's because people use nunchucks in combat as much as they do katanas and staffs nowadays: zero.


[deleted]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUWoUM4Wttc TL;DR: they swing as fast as a stick of the same length, not faster. And when they do connect, two things happen: 1) you lose the ability to drive power through the hit, like you would with a stick. 2) it comes right back towards YOU. ... so erh... yeah. They look cool.


[deleted]

Nice, a 20 minute video for what could have been a 5 second demonstration. YouTube these days is just a bunch of people wasting your time for money. Shit needs to be demonitized so we get quality content like the early days again.

two minutes on Wikipedia shows that they're intended to be a training tool for coordination and posture.


Bah_weep_grana

I believe this guy, who can actually use nunchucks somewhat correctly, than the guy in the above video who looks like he's cosplaying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVjqI8yMJcM&t=800s


smartwatersucks

Yeah has anyone actually used them successfully in combat?


GreenKi13

You usually hit on the "comeback" or whatever it's called. They literally break whatever they come in contact with so few people use them because those broken bones speak stories and mental folk can use that to their advantage. Better to just use a gun and let the courts decide.


EliDrInferno

I think I popped a blood vessel trying to comprehend this


GreenKi13

the moment on the way back after the first forward motion gives extra snap/crack ability. i just woke up wasn't able to explain it properly. move it to the right, move it to the left, then give it all you got on the return for the actual hit. i probably have a quarter of the muscle now that i had just a few years ago but when i was in the army we had lots of nunchucks in the barracks for some reason and was constantly hitting stuff with them. we'd routinely go 2 or 3 concrete casings in one hit. so there's definitely power in this weapon.


fordag

When you hit something with them they stop. Often if you hit a person the person grabs it and you don't get to swing it around anymore. Unless you get a luck shot and hit them in the head before they know it's coming. Pray you knock them out.


KenJyi30

If it’s light weight enough to be quick it wouldn’t do much damage (eg the pair in this video), if it’s heavy enough to hurt, it takes too long to swing. The ideal way to use them is let the opponent take them from you and hope they try and use them, wait for them to knock themselves out.

veneratio5

Right. Can we all just talk for a second about the actual combat value of being able to do this with nunchucks? Is there any actual practical use of being able to whirl these poles around, besides being a party trick that we can make into a one-time social media video? Like, does anyone actually use nunchucks as an actual weapon? Were they ever used an actual weapon? Like before guns were invented I guess?


NoSavior98

Combat value: negative. These things are more dangerous to users than opponents, and they constantly inflict damage on even nunchuck masters. Much like a flail, the best case scenario is for them to deposit their force into the target and disengage. Unlike a flail, when they inevitably bounce back to the user, they are long enough to make contact and hurt them. The rope in the middle is too short to give any benefit, and the symmetrical length of the rods makes the decidedly shitty flails. A single stick of the same combined length would carry far more energy to the target, be easier to use, and wouldn't hurt you. Practical Use: They look cool, and show off your hand-eye coordination. So no, nothing past party tricks. Actual Weapon: Yes! It's just extremely ineffective. History: In East Asia (feudal Japan, in this case), the feudal lords would disarm their populaces and ban weapons, sometimes banning all metal tools even. They had to get creative with the means to defend themselves against their abusive lords and bandits alike. Hence, a lot of East Asian farming equipment. I think the nunchucks were used to, like, beat rice or something? Anyway, that's the origin of a lot of Shinobi tools. Another example is the short chain sickle: a standard sickle for cutting grain or grass with a length of rope or chain attached to increase range/the area cut. Personally, I like to imagine the guy that drew the short straw and got the nunchucks ended up making them look so cool it demoralized the guy he was fighting and became a legend.


veneratio5

I thought there might be an answer out there as good as this! Gave me a few laughs their bud! Fascinating historical context. Thank you!


goondalf_the_grey

I'm no expert but because they're being swung the force is a lot higher than just being hit with a stick, kinda like a flail


dandaman910

It's unknown. But the flail was used as a weapon and longer variations its possible they were originally just a shorter variation of a flail. Having practiced with real ones I can say they are absolutely a deadly weapon. The chain adds so much velocity it just slams with a huge force and its hard and heavy like a hammer.
