It seems that nunchucks are like the knights on the chess board. Difficult to master, but with unique and unpredictable offensive qualities; also may not be an effective defensive tool. Also, an interesting safety feature is built-in: most adversaries cannot take it away and use against you, because they won’t know how. I saw this point made in a Bruce lee movie. From a casual observer.
The basic underarm strike is severely underrated. You can basically use it as a powerful jab-type attack with pinpoint precision and the likelihood of it bouncing back in a way that would actually cause damage to the user is extremely slim.
I hate when people who know nothing about asian martial arts compare the techniques to the European ones, yes some are similar but not all. Certain weapons are very specialized and need the correct technique to actually use them properly. Nice demonstration by the way.

It’s not a joke that’s for sure! Keep up your goo!
Yes, nunchaku can be used effectively against hard targets. I've trained with them against heavy bags and palm trees too. Having said that, they are STILL not as effective as a big stick, let alone a sword or spear. They were NEVER intended to be. They were always a makeshift self-defense weapon used by people who were not allowed to have REAL weapons under japanese law. Sorry, but that's the truth....
After watching Nardz video, I disagree solely based on the fact that like he said, you cannot walk around in public with a spear, sword or big stick without attracting unsavory attention. No one is going to believe you're not looking to cause problems or seeking confrontation as an opportunity to use these tools for their intended purpose. He stated how nunchuks (nunchaku) are a great way to shut down a fight, either scaring off the assailant or knocking them out of commission. And he did state that against bladed weapons, it's better to just get away, and if you can't get away to attempt to disarm the attacker to get leverage and fight your way out of the situation. Which is their intended purpose anyways as a self defense weapon, they are not meant to be used for a direct assault or as some grand weapon to outclass heavily armed warriors, for that you would reasonably find more suitable weapons.
•You hit yourself on the arm. 1:06 •You hit yourself in the leg. 1:37 •You hit your back. 1:41 And you hit yourself in the elbow. 2:01 Notes to myself:
Never hit my leg. Never hit my back. Never hit my arm. I did hit my elbow once and it didn’t hurt at all because there’s no force by then. I didn’t need some giant padded suit. You just are not being honest and hoping for my failure.
I want to make something clear to you just in case you’ve never been in a real fight. There is no way in hell you’d ever hit anyone with a big stick. It’s too big an heavy. Someone would either move away or wait till you reel back and tackle your ass. Ain’t no one in the history of the world ever got hit by a big stick who knew it was coming. It’s big, it’s heavy and it’s clumsy. No one and I mean no one is going to stand there and allow you to swing a big heavy stick at them. Any anyone who thinks otherwise just has a man crush on Shadiversity because it ain’t true.

Quoting Ed's Theme: Actions speak louder than words, so stop talking You annihilated every "argument" Shitiversity did (those which did not annihilate themselves) without a word. Why I am still unimpressed - oh yeah. "Arguments" were so much beneath the effort used to annihilate them. Just like sloths are for Harpy eagles. Only thing I nitpick about is that nunchaku is symmetrical so when held from both ends the attack can come from any of those directions so it adds even more unpredictability to your choice of moves. It's not just guessing when the attack comes, but from where and that makes landing that crucial first hit even more likely with nunchaku than sTIK he awkwardly has wrapped around his leg with duct tape.
I mean I’m not stopping you from taking an escrima stick over a pair of nunchucks but they’re really not terrible at all, definitely not the greatest weapon but they are no where near as bad as people want to say they are
@@shangchi828 “escrima sticks suck. Ever notice majority of the population are using guns over escrima sticks?” That’s basically your argument, I’m not saying that escrima sticks suck they’re actually amazing I’m just saying I don’t agree with the point you made, sure most people choose sticks over nunchaku but that doesn’t make nunchucks bad at all, it just depends on what the user is more comfortable with, personally the weapon doesn’t matter at all it’s about the person using it. Like I said in my previous comment I wouldn’t stop anyone from using their weapon of choice, I just don’t agree with everyone bashing the nunchucks
@@xiiiroses6664 Escrima Sticks are the alternative to swords, and swords have been used in war for thousands of years. You can also apply stick/sword movements to bayonet rifle movements. Guns are great, they are carried by police along with escrima like batons.
@@shangchi828 yea I agree with that too, the police in California have actually been training officers to use nunchucks if they choose it over the baton but they have to take a 16 hour training course to use it but personally their nunchaku design isn’t great because it’s made out of plastic (polycarbonate if I had to guess specifics) instead of metal or hardwood, and what makes it worse to me is that they use it as a “restraining tool” instead of striking but idk they said it’s worked for them so I wouldn’t know if it’s bad or not

I went to town on a giant concrete pillar in my parking garage and after about 50 hits at anyway I wanted, I basically destroyed my nun chucks, never once did I get hit back, and I was drunk too. Take that to the bank, put it in your pipe and smoke it clean. :D
Sorry mate, you are making a fool out of yourself and just prove Shad right, in everything. Firstly, you are hitting a sandbag, a material that naturally hinder bounsing that would i cure in other materials. Then, you are standing at the same safe calculated distance all the time, making perfect hits easy, even blindfolded (as you positioned yourself before blindfolding yourself). You were unable to use them without loadout or swings in advance, you were completely open to attacks (deadly ones) 75% of the time. Then you crushed melons (looked like cantalope) something that really does'nt prove a thing (sticks still do the same), the same with facehits with the back of them (only that sticks give more force because of "halfswording"). Then you continue to prove jus claim that you only can attack from a limited stances witch all require reloads or preswing. Congratulations, you managed to prove Shad correct even better than others have by demonstrating it.
We should do a collaboration video where you stand in front of me and see if you can dodge my telegraphed strikes. That would be fun! This was not a fight demonstration. I would never swing repeatedly like that in a fight. Shad said you couldn’t perform repeated strikes without hitting yourself. I demonstrated that you can. He said you needed specific positions. I showed you don’t. He said you could strike with a big stick from far more positions. I proved that wrong too. You can strike just by holding the chucks together which I showed later in the video. You need no wind up whatsoever. I’d like to see you swing a big stick effectively with no wind up. I’d also love to see you swing a big stick without leaving yourself open to a counter strike.
Actions speak louder than words, so stop talking Make your own video which proves your "arguments". So far Shitiversity-simps like you have no track record on that category.
@waw Let me dissect your "argument". "We don't need to show anything because Shad already did so. " You do need to show it again because one and already debunked lie is no proof.

"Also never seen any indigenous tribe ever consider making or using nunchucks. " But every culture which practices farming has invented flail. "Ever heard of any Ancient Egyptian nunchucks?

@@ronena2476 I’d love to see you use a stick more effectively than nunchucks up close. I’ll wait for you to demonstrate it. Let me know when you post the video. That stick would be taken right off of you. The longer the weapon the least effective it is at close range.

You know how to strike with them.
That is if you can hit the target without him blocking it. Which is way harder to do with nunchucks than regular sticks
Something is always better than nothing
A Good point well made. Sir!
Your getting better. Love the double rotation before the overhand strike.
Thanks
