The honesty you have when talking about these products is what makes me have supreme confidence when shopping at your site. Bravo.
I really appreciate that Haiasi! Thank you so much for your support! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Just wanted a couple nunchuck videos before bed. Found this channel. Really friendly chap and easy to listen to. I’ve subscribed. Thanks from Great Britain. 👍🏻🇬🇧😀
That's awesome! Thank you so much for your kind words! You made my day!!!
I dunno about all this "learning with foam chucks" nonsense.... I learned with octagonal oak chucks. Every mistake was very... "Informative" (ouch) lol
yeeeeeeeah i remember those lessons well
My elbow and ribs still hurts lol
HAHA 😂
Yoo lol that's the same one i ordered never in my life have i used nunchakus but gotta start off with pain like they say no pain no gain
Acrylic chains, loved them honestly, they eventually shattered though. You learn quicker when there's consequence
It's like Olivander's Nunchaku Shop. Love it!
you don't choose the chucks, the chucks choose you
Finally, I found a great store. Congratulations.
I highly recommend there store thay make good weapons
This reminds me of Ollivander wand shop with all the boxes :)
Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for watching my video!
@@Karatemart Its a pleasure, Cheers and be safe.
This was a great video to start over again. I didn't hesitate to order the foam and rattan as recommended. Thanks Team!
Thanks so much David! I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching and for your support!
I used to have both wooden and metal nun chucks and the feeling when it hit my finger tips was really painful. So kudos to your rattan and foam chucks.
Thanks Martin! I completely agree. Hitting your finger tips is definitely a common problem when striking. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend!
I was always wondering about wax wood nunchaku, I got some after my blue or purple belt test and I have had them for years and they were super durable, but I couldn't find any record of them anywhere else on the internet, I'm glad that people know about those. I've tried many types of nunchaku, but the wax wood were always my favorite for being wieldable and heavy, while still being really durable.
Exactly…wax wood is definitely one of my favorites when it comes to martial arts weapons. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend!
Nicely done video. Your honesty and passion is a great thing. One of my daughters is wanting to get into this and I haven’t touched nunchucks in 20+ years. I appreciate all the information.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Awesome video I have always enjoyed nunchucks. I was surprised that you didn't show any octagon pairs I have always been a fan of them .thanks again!
Thank you so much William! You are correct...I probably should have shown off more of the octagon pairs we sell. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
I love this dudes energy 💯
Thank you so much! You just made my day! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
@@Karatemart no problem! Liked, subscribed, and watching more of your vids as we speak. Please keep em coming 💪🏾💯👏🏾
@@ACtheVirtuoso awesome! I really appreciate that!
Made my first chucks in 1974 and still make them!
Great video!!!
Nice chucks!
That's awesome John! I definitely love making my own weapons as well! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment!
This is how you know Bruce Lee left his mark on the world. Before him, close to know one knew about nunchaku
More videos like this please! Very helpful!
That is an excellent point, and I completely agree. Thank you so much for your support and for your insight!
People who threshed rice knew about them. A river stone or a broomstick would be a better mode of self defense. 🧹
I heard de Santos tought Bruce Lee how to use nunchucks. I didn't know that until today
That’s true. But it’s a dying artform. It was more popular in the 70’s and 80’s. It was normal and some people carried them like guns. Especially in the 70’s.
@@tommygunner6953 Until they made it illegal to own them in many US states in Australia too.
AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO BAM IM HOOKED BACK INTO DOING NUNCHUCKS ☯️ AGAIN THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BROTHER!
That’s awesome! I’m glad my video inspired you! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! It means a lot to me!
The perfect nunchucks are those made by yourself, or recustomized. And chucks are like guns they all have different jobs
Yea i agree but i think its with every martial arts weapon
whats diffrence cord vs chain n bairing. whats prefered by you
@@demijunejohnstone9226 wdym
read above, bruce lee , made an anciet farming tool into a weapon and it took off. In asia, most weopons for peasants were farming tools, remember movies lke frankestein, what did the peasants use to get the moster, rakes , hoes, etc
@@demijunejohnstone9226 Each have their strong points. The string won't set off metal detectors, where the chain will, for instance.
You guys have some awsome products. I am definitely thinking of getting at least a couple stuff out there. Keep it up and cheers!
Awesome Ramon! I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching my video and for the kind comment!
@@Karatemart I actually got a couple of foam chucks and the hard rubber ones, awesome fun stuff!
@@ramonvelasquez8431 awesome! Thank you!
great video i enjoy your passion keep it up
Thank you so much Lewis! I really appreciate it! You made my day!
I worked everyday at this since Mid May. I did well and was really liking it except I was growing a fear of getting hit in the elbow. Last night I got hit in the elbow again and the wrist and realized I am just to damn old to incur any more pain points in my body. I am dropping it and my nunchucks are gone. I felt working at it helped with upper body stiffness and joint pain. But those whacks are more than I am willing to pay at 70. Thankyou for the good service and being a part of the videos I have watched.
I’m sorry to hear you hurt yourself. Sadly, that happens sometimes with the nunchaku, but I think you are very wise to listen to your body. I’m going to guess that you got pretty good with them over the period of time you practiced and if it was helpful for stiffness, you might want to consider going back to a lighter foam pair. But, you know your body, so I’m sure you are making the best decision for yourself. I really do appreciate you watching my videos. You sound like an awesome individual as well as a kind hearted person to leave a supportive comment like that. Thanks so much and I hope you have a great weekend.
There are techniques which help avoid risk of bumping yourself.
I’m placing an order for my first nunchaku today! I’m getting the natural nunchaku with grip and I can’t wait!
Awesome! I like those nunchaku! Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it!
First pair of nunchuku I handled was the (REALLY HARD) glass nunchuku my cousin's older cousin had. After that, I had the toy nunchuku that came in the toy ninja kits you could find in toy stores. Then I started using my cousin's wooden chucks. Never owned a metal pair. And I always go for the heavier ones. More of a workout to use, more punishment for myself or others if they get hit.
I've been trying to get my hands on some hard clear plastic ones for almost 10 years now. Use to see them at an army navy store but havent seen them since. They got every pair EXCEPT the ones I want.
That’s awesome! Sounds like you have an excellent background in nunchaku! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this video I’ve been wanting the corded aluminum chuck for years now 8:55 fuhhh I’ve literally dreamed about those
Awesome! Thank you so much for your kind comment! I really like the corded aluminum nunchaku too! Thanks so much for watching!
I got the wooden traditional ones with cord I love them and I just ordered the rattan ones can't wait to get them❤
Awesome! Thank you for the support! We appreciate it!
Thanks the right video at the right time i was about to buy me some chucks and i found this video at just the right time.
That’s awesome! I’m glad my video was able to help! I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
I just recently bought the .75 dia. Aluminum chunks and they are also weighted just right so I wrapped them in a black tape covering to blunt the edges of the octagon sides so they would not hurt while grip them and the came out excellent and they are the best ones I have ever owned I will send send a photo, they remind me of a blackjack as you grip them, as they are weighted and compact I bought two pair and very satisfied.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for your support. It sounds like we are both similar in the way that we like to modify our weapons to meet our needs. I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
Awesome video thanks
Thanks Mike! I appreciate that!
I love the burnt rattan chucks, I think they give the best combination of speed strength and durability, I've accumulated about 5 pair of them over the years. I'm very eager to try the solid aluminum ones you guys make, I can't wait to bust myself in the elbow with those, lol ! ! !
I agree, Mark! The burnt rattan are my favorite as well. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I have the wooden octagon with cord. Painted them black and restringed them 25 years ago and never needed or wanted another pair in my life. Good for practicing and striking.
Awesome, Carl! Thanks so much for watching!
I first started out with an octagon pair with a 4" rope. And after sufficiently cracking myself in the head, shins, funny bone, ect. and migrating through at least a dozen different sets while becoming more proficient, I settled into my favorite pair. A weighted 12" with a 1" to 1 1/2 " bell and a 7 1/2 " swivel chain. The extra weight produced more speed and striking power. The longer chain length gave more dexterity along with more forceful straightforward butt end strikes. It also allowed me to migrate into much longer flexible weapons such as the rope dart.
That is so awesome! Nunchaku are one of those weapons that tend to give you a few bruises during the learning process. Sounds like you became very proficient at them in the end. Well done, my friend!
That's normal for beginners, I no when I first started I hit my elbow a lot. I'm pro now.
Your smile is infectious buddy 😁👍 the Rattan dragon ones look so nice 👏
Thank you! I really appreciate that! Yeah, the dragon rattan are pretty cool. I hope you are having a great weekend!
@@Karatemart You have an awesome range of different Nunchaku there, can’t wait to see what other weapons lol 😁 do you post to UK?
@@Karatemart Oh and thanks 🙏🙂 have an inspiring week Sir 😃
@@pixygnunchaku3494 thank you! Yes, we do ship internationally, but we have to check the laws in each country before shipping anything there. Have a great week!
@@Karatemart Thanks 🙂 I’ll check out the site 😃👍
Hi gang especially Amanda. Fascinating video. I like your honesty with the pros & cons. I learned on a home made pair of cut broom stick, eye hooks & a chain 40 years ago. My favorite pair is the 3rd one you showed. I prefer wood because I do them outside & I feel like I'm kind of bonding with nature. Although the other materials look interesting. I prefer chain over cord because when I do the over the back of the hand tricks the cord feels rather pinchy. I was surprised you didn't pull out any LED pairs. They are a lot of fun to do outside in the dark with no lights on & playing music like Children of the Son or Walking on the moon. Lots of space related music you can dance to with the LEDs. I imagine myself dancing for UFO'S & I swear I actually saw one once. It came towards me from the north. It hovered for a while then did a 90 degree turn to the west & left. I know it wasn't a helicopter because it was silent. However... It could have been a drone. Maybe some benevolent ETs will like my tricks & take me for a ride. Anyway I hope you are all well. Live long, prosper & keep on chucking.
Thanks Kathy! I really hope you have an excellent weekend! Thank you so much for your support!
@@Karatemart oh you're welcome. I hope your weekend is also awesome. Thank you for being such a great online store. I know I can rely on you for great products at great prices & excellent customer service. Oh so funny I was looking at my page & I saw one of my nunchucks videos had 1182 views. I was like so excited! I was like OMG how did that happen? I'm guessing maybe you have it on your website. I know you have one of my sword videos on your site & that got a lot of views too. So thanks a bunch for your support too.
You give off such a great inviting energy I took teakwondo (spelled that wrong probably) as a kid and got good with nunchucks and the teacher gave me hard rubber nunchucks for some reason but I got really lol
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
I thought the packaging looked really familiar lol, I bought a pair from you guys about a couple years ago (recommended by Jake Mace). They're the carved dragon ones, they're fun to practice with.
I think once I move again I'll have to buy a rattan pair
Awesome! Yeah, I love rattan nunchaku! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
So I want to buy the metal studded black wooden nunchucks off your sight could you please do a quick review on them thank you.
Yeah...I’ll try to do a review of them in the future. Great suggestion!
Woooooo hoooooo my white wax nunchucks just got here thanks guys
Awesome Dylannn! Thank you so much for your support! I really do appreciate it!
Great Video! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent week!
i started with wood chucks, you uhh learn fast, definitely knocked my arm and knee numb a few times lol. My funniest moment would be the time i was practicing outside in the dark near the bonfire and apparently my brother had been watching me practice transferring it over my back and decided to sneak in behind me to catch it but caught it with his face. Note i was already using heavy studded chucks. I figure ill be taking hits in a fight anyway so knocking myself a few times wont hurt anything, for long. Epic rundown tho.
lol thats too funny i have a similar story when i started using metal chucks. one afternoon my sister asked to use the chucks and i said "ok, just dont hit urself!" and she responded with "u dont hit urself!" (what a epic roast) and proceeded to wack herself in the face. luckily not much damage cuz she wasnt doing a full powered swing but she deffinetely learned a lesson haha.
LOL...that's a pretty funny story. Anyone who has been using the chucks for a while has a story to tell. I definitely hit myself quite a few times. Thank you so much for watching and for your story!
He goes from the foam nunchucks to the burnt Raton showing a high speed Master skill. Great job, I was doing so good when I was younger but fell out of it just ordered a set but I think I need to order from your company. Plus I want discounts on the open box items you used 😂
Thank you, my friend! I love your positivity and kindness! It means a lot to me!
@@Karatemart you have skills buddy that's for sure. Keep up the good work my friend ✊🏼
Really enjoyed this video, from UK......
Awesome, Andy! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent week, my friend!
Wax wood corded nunchucks - last chucks you'll ever need. I'm interested in your metal chucks too .
I love the waxwood nunchaku as well! Thank you so much for watching!
I love those nunchucks!
I love them too, Jonathan! I hope you are having an excellent week!
I spent over 50 hours learning nunchucks. I got a pair cuz they were $4. The dragon paint came off after 300 strikes.
THESE look amazing in comparison! Your so skilled!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate that!
I started with traditional corded octagonal chucks . Hitting myself helped me feel my mistakes.
I agree Jose! Hitting yourself is just part of the learning process when it comes to nunchaku. It teaches you to respect the weapon. Thanks so much for watching!
Decided to order a few random items that I received today. First I thought I would give my hardwood nunchucks a break since I'm getting back into it. Ordered the Tiger Rattan Nunchaku. I have to say being used to a heavier Chuck these are perfectly balanced. Lighter but not extremely noticeable difference. Nice bolsters with perfect rivets as I've ordered from another company before and the rivets weren't perfectly seated like these from karate Mart. They just flow and feel very smooth.
Also watching another one of your demonstrations I decided to order a star as I have a large knife collection everything from butterfly knives to side open and OTF automatics odd and end items like caltrops. But the Moon Star I have was just cheap Chrome plated some kind of alloy I don't know why I haven't thrown it away which I did when I received the product from your store which is extremely Sharp and a strong heavy metal. Nonetheless great experience I like how you guys go above and beyond showcasing your products on RUclips. You have a lifelong customer my friend, don't forget about that Batman movie.
Oh wow! Thank you! I really appreciate your support and kind comments. It’s people like you that keep us making the videos. I hope you have an awesome weekend, my friend!
Thinking about ordering the black wooden 12" handle with the blue carved dragon connected with a chain for my first pair.
Very nice! I like both of those! Thanks so much for watching my video!
I remember when i was learning. My foam ones were taken away and real ones (tapered octagonal hardwood with cord) were given to me. Yes i hit myself... Like 3 or 4 times. That's why i was given real ones. You hit yourself and you don't wanna do that again. Quick way to learn not to hit yourself. Then once you get the movements down you learn to keep your eyes forward and not watch the chucks but instinctively know where they are. Then once you got that down you close yoyr eyes or blindfold yourself.
That’s so true, man! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Thank-You Very Much! Great Tutorial. I lossed my Teak Wood Chucks in the 1970's. Would You happen to have any Teak Wood Chucks???
Thank you Jim! I really appreciate that! We do carry some exotic wood nunchaku, but I haven’t seen teakwood in a long time. Hopefully we will carry them again one day. Have a great weekend!
My step father designed the perfect chucks... I got it patented, they are aluminum head with oil impregnated brass inner piece ... No bearings at all & perfect movement. No more powdered bearings yet they are chain
Very cool
I made a pair out of pvc cold water pipe and cement and they are a bit on the heavy side but usable if i need to use them. I also have plans to make a three section pair from the same material.
That's very cool! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
When I started learning nunchucks, I learned nunchucks with the metal one and I hutmrt myswlf a little bit and got used to it, it was fun to do
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
This is very cool and all but I just wanted to say that I made a pair of chucks myself today using a stick that I had been using to twirl like a lightsaber but it broke when I hit it a little to hard against a tree so I measured the stick that was left and is cam out to 21 inches and so I cut is at 10 and a half inches and got some rope drilled the holes and threaded it myself using your guys instructions on how to string nunchucks and this is my first pair as well and I wanted to say thanks as I wouldn't have even considered this if it wasn't for you so once again thank you
Excellent! That’s how this entire business started. I didn’t have much to do in Wisconsin, so I started making my own martial arts weapons. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
thank you for posting this - great help to me I will be ordering from you guys instead.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching! I made this video quickly and didn't really think anyone would watch it, but I'm glad it was helpful for you! Have a great weekend!
i realized the nunchakus are really good on the streets even the foam one in self defense.
I especially like the wood ones also good for when your getting jumped
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
So amazing!
Thank you so much for watching my video and for the kind comment! Have a great weekend!
Waiting for wax wood to get back in stock as my 2nd one!
Awesome! The waxwood nunchaku are really cool. Hopefully we get them back instock very soon! Thank you so much for watching!
I was planning to but the hard rubber ones. Thanks for the review cause they are scared that they might be heavy or something. Cause there scared i might break something in the house. Since it does bend when it gets hit i think i will be safe and i will be able to manage the weight. Thanks
Awesome Joshua! Sorry for the delay in my response. I hope the rubber ones work out for you. They are pretty nice, but I personally prefer the rattan ones. Thanks so much for watching my video!
Cocobolo hardwood. The best!! Bruces' favorite!! .. been using nunchaku for over 40+ years. Very effective!!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
No, thank you !!! .. fellow martial artist. Your videos are great!! Your technique is great !! YOU are great !! 👊👍🫵✌️✝️
Many many moons ago I learned with the traditional Japanese oak chucks made with the The octagon cut slightly wider at handle and narrowing with the connecting chord being the narrower part of the stick…with a heavy and solid feel special oak wood from Japan..,,,,,and octagonal shape narrows to the connecting chord..very very hard wood with a lot of knots ..needless to say that wood can not be found these days…..but it’s a great idea making them in metal with can be wrapped around in black electrical tape just to make them a less reflective of lights and it’s very true that they are only to be used by those very advanced ..and you have the different types to make learning a lot easier these days…. ….
Thanks Duke! Those nunchaku you learned with sound great! I hope you are having an excellent week!
I remember buying nun chucks from superstition mall in az back in the day! good times
I miss the malls. The good old days!
Would you say bamboo chucks are about on par with rattan in terms of lightness? I upgraded to them after practicing with foam chucks for a while.
That is a great question! It's been a long time since I've seen bamboo nunchaku, but I imagine they are probably very close in weight to the rattan nunchaku. That is probably the perfect nunchaku to upgrade to after the foam. Thank you so much for watching and for your question!
Have the rattan chucks just like the one you showed...and it is so funny that just listening to the distinct sound they make let is enough to identify em without even seeing the screen😄Wicked distinctive sound when the bearings and chain vibrate the rattan.. especially if ya tap the chucks together..
That’s funny man! You’re right…they do have a very distinct sound to them. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I was wondering if you have a metal steel/aluminum nunchuk that is mostly hollow, except for the last 4" being solid. The physics of this to me is amazing - light, fast, but having the mass heft where it is needed, at the ends. Mass in the middle or top adds very little leveraged force. Anyways, preferably with aircraft cable connector? I will check you website.
We have a lot of different metal nunchaku on the website, but I don't think any that have only the last 4" being solid. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi there my name is Everett and I'm visually impaired completely and I'm just curious what type of nunchucks does Michelangelo use and you guys have those the wooden ones with the metal chain
Hi Everett! I'm honestly not sure exactly which ones Michelangelo uses, but we have a lot of good wooden ones with metal chains on KarateMart.com. Thank you so much for your question and have a great weekend!
I've been training with my octogon aluminum chained pair from you guys for about a year. Started with a pair of oak chained ones and became to slow. The aluminum ones are perfect for me now you might scare a few people training with them or accidentally knock yourself but keep training. I can move em around like a pair of foams now and knock a lit cigarette outta the air with a swift uppercut
That’s very cool! You must be good! Thanks so much for your support!
Excelente vídeo, muito bom.
Thank you so much Ademar! I really appreciate that! Have a great weekend!
Are the hard rubber ones good for beginners? (I’m also a black belt in karate so my posture and techniques are already pretty good)
Excellent question! The rubber ones are actually more for advanced users. Thanks so much for watching!
4:11 “the way our chucks are kinda organized...” haha sounds like either they aren’t organized too well and they will be re organized soon.
Or maybe he just isn’t used to that department/side haha
I dont know why I found a CHUCKle out of that but I did haha
Thank you so much fir the video by the way. I’m looking to get into some nunchucks.
During the lockdown I found and fell in love with martial arts and I lost 100lbs during those months and stopped smoking and live a whole diff lifestyle in a good way thanks to the pandemic.
I’m also currently six months into a challenge where I’m exercising every single day for a year.

Right now I have the black chain ones with the 2 red stripes at the bottom and i Have the all black nunchucks with black string , and right now I have the white wood wax chain nunchucks on the way
Awesome!
I had to practice with them the hard way. we didn't have pads. I had to start from bottom with real ones. I hit myself a few times but I tough it out kept practicing. I'm still pretty good with them today.

Do the foam ones resist spinning in your hands? I am a complete beginner interested in trying a foam pair to see if I can get the hang of it.
No...the foam ones shouldn't resist spinning in your hands. I would definitely recommend trying foam before any wooden ones. Thank you so much for watching my video!
I had bought 2 pair 14" natural Octos and are amazing.. i really prefer the cord because you can Always change cord length.. having longer cord like bruce lee and fighting you want a longer reach ( Not that i encourage Ever fighting ) but as far as more weight to swing it helps, also to shorten them for trick chucks and wrist flips..and mostly impirtant Quiet !! chain just give away your position. But i highly reccomend a 14" pair they do give a great workout..plus being a Drummer helps make drumsticks feel like tooth picks lol. Take care guys ✌
That’s awesome, Joe! I think a lot of people will find that information very helpful. Thanks so much for watching!

I was hoping you would go into depth about the speciality nunchucks like the converta chucks i just bought today. As i was curious about their design and ability more in depth.

@@Karatemart : )
that second pair hard wood think this pair i have from skeggy market england. mine are really heavy tho to point there hurt my hands. ive stripped off all the varnish and paint to bare wood. do you think i could drill a hollow hole from bottom up stem to make them lighter or carve them down. all ideas welcome as i only this pair to work with. there also baring and chain. shall i change chain to cord on baring or drilled into stick. im beginner but going to master this before covid dissapears
That’s a good question. You’d probably want to show them to someone in your area who works with wood to see whether they will still be a good weapon after you modify them. We do have an instructional video on how to string nunchaku in case you do decide to go that route. Thanks so much for watching!
Are the ball bearing circles that connect the chain to the chuck an authentic/original part of nunchucks? Like the nunchucks that Bruce Lee used that were connected with a chain, did they have ball bearing circles in them?
Nunchaku have evolved a lot over the years. In the past, other connection methods were used instead of ball-bearings. Thanks so much for watching!
Those aluminum nunchucks that you guys make yourselves are incredibly nice. 08:27 The problem is that they are way too heavy. I have a suggestion to make them PERFECT 🤯 If you take your beautiful aluminum chucks and hollow it out a little from the bottom so that they still have strength but are a good bit lighter well, I'll tell you what... As a long time "chucker" you would have a real winner on your hands! If you start making them with your perfect rope length I would order them immediately. Give it some thought. I really feel it's something your nunchaku customers would really like because they would be VERY unique in a very saturated market. Take care, -Eric
Thanks Eric! We actually have about 20 different styles of aluminum nunchaku. Some are solid aluminum, but many are hollow. The only ones we don’t have hollow versions of are the hex ones. It could be done, but it would increase the machining time (labor costs) by quite a bit because after they are drilled, they would have to be capped and lathed. I’ll definitely look into it though. Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart I like the octagon ones myself and would definitely by a couple pairs because I’ve elevated to using two instead of just one, thus fighting style like Bruce lee, serious.
I'm just starting out with nunchucks, and have a foam set, does it make a difference if it's string or chain attaching the nunchucks?
Hi Luke! I’ve always preferred chain nunchaku, mostly because of the general weight and feel of them, but there are some advantages of corded nunchaku. They are quieter and you can easily resize them to the size of your hand. Thanks so much for watching!
The best one you have shown were the hard wood ones. I'm looking for some real professional nun-chucks, I looked on amazon and all they have are foam ones, which is very disappointing to someone like me with 30 years experience using nun-chucks. The length is supost to be from your elbow to your wrist, I usually cut the end off to get the right size. I'd rather have the one with a chain with ball bearing swivel. So far, I haven't found any online. I think I got my last pair at the flee market maybe I'll try there. I recommend to go to the library and get a book on how to use them. I would take the wood ones and drill out the end and fill it with lead.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Hey the gold dragon rattan nunchucks, on the website there are only in black and not in blue (as you showed in the video) pls help I really like them.
Unfortunately, we have only been able to get the black ones lately. Hopefully one day we can get the blue ones instock again! Thank you so much for watching!
@@Karatemart thanks man for replying
@@ibimusti8001 absolutely! Thanks for watching my videos!
I tried going to the website a month ago and buying Ice Dragon nunchucks with grip, however international shipping was not available. I've been checking in for about two months and was wondering when international shipping will be available.
Great question! Sadly, due to all the problems with international shipping since the pandemic began (lost/stolen/damaged packages) and the extra employee hours they take to estimate, check laws in a country and prepare, we discovered we are losing money shipping packages internationally. We continue to test the process regularly in hopes that one day we will be able to do it again. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Quit kung fu when Covid hit but picked up my old foam chucks last week and it was like 4 yrs never past all muscle memory just gotta remember to use my left hand more 🤣
That’s one of my favorite things about the nunchaku! Muscle memory is great with them! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Nice video...the red rubber ones look good.
I find that the diameter length weight chain Varies depending on the person's length of arm size of hand and weight of arm...
If beginning watch instruction videos should never hit yourself.
i had metal telescoping thet size closed to five inches and pulled out to 12 and had swivel on end where chain was attached, their gone , lost in time.
I definitely remember those telescoping ones. They were pretty cool. We haven’t carried them in a while. Thanks so much for watching my video!
I'm ordering my first pair today
Awesome! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team! Thanks so much for your support!
Cool vid, got yourself a new subscriber.. just correct you with the Rattan it’s a vine not a reed I was in Borneo this year March 2023 they grow in the rainforest up through the tree canopy.. I’ve been using nunchucks for 37yrs I prefer solid wooden ones similar to the ones you had with the grips with good bearings & short chain.. I made my 1st 3 pairs myself out of copper pipes filled with sand & a chain 😂😂 I was to young at the time to legally buy them in the UK you had to be 16 or 18 can’t remember 😂😂..
That’s very cool! Thanks so much for subscribing, Paul! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
@@Karatemart I certainly am, same back at you.. keep up the good work..
Hi there! Thanks for the great video!
Is it a good idea to start with the rubber insteadof the foam ones!!?
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! The rubber ones are actually way more difficult and dangerous to use than the foam ones, so I would start with foam. When you feel comfortable with those, I would switch to rattan, then hardwood, then maybe rubber if you feel like it. The rubber ones are pretty heavy. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart I checked the website for buying a pair!.. but I'm from Chile, South America ): no shipping available
@@cualquiercosa5201 We do ship internationally, but we have to check the laws in each country before shipping anything there. Please contact our customer service team at Service@KarateMart.com if you are interested in purchasing some. Thanks so much for watching!
