Nunchaku, also known as nunchucks, are traditional martial arts weapons consisting of two wooden or metal sticks connected by a chain or rope. Originating from Okinawa, Japan, nunchaku were historically used in combat and self-defense training. Today, they are also popularly used in martial arts demonstrations, competitions, and as a form of artistic expression. Nunchaku training focuses on developing hand-eye coordination, agility, and striking techniques. While nunchaku can be dangerous if mishandled, they are also appreciated for their artistic and dynamic movements, making them a unique and iconic part of martial arts culture.
