      An eastern weapon made from joining [the tops] (kontoh) of [two sticks] together with a rope or chain ([himo] or kusari). Each stick has three parts, the upper area (jokon-bu), the middle area (chukon-bu), and the lower area (kikon-bu). Each area has a specific purpose - the tops and bottoms of [the sticks] are used for jabs, the upper and lower areas are handled for swinging attacks and maintaining control of the weapon, and the rope or chain can be used for choking an opponent.
      It is [NOT a ninja] weapon, as many people believe, as it originated outside of Feudal Japan. Also, the term nunchucks was coined by the Americans after discovering the weapon, but it is an acceptable name for the weapon.
      The major disadvantage of the weapon is the possibility of an opponent catching the weapon in his hand/s and pulling it out of your hands, leaving you disarmed.

        Commonly called [nunchucks], these are wood, plastic or other [cylindrical] material, connected by a chain or cord, to form a close-combat weopon.
        The common strike method is the wrist snap, spinning the chucks around the [pivots] in the chain, striking your enemy multiple times quickly.
