    I knew someone who trained with the nunchucks. Aside from the number of self-inflicted injuries he receive from them he got through an awful lot of lightbulbs.
    Though the longer threshing version did occasionally get used in England the most commonly agricultural weapon used in combat was the billhook. This had a long, broad blade with a hook on the unsharpened edge and a handle several inches long. It was used to pollard trees, remove branches some one and a half to two inches thick. The branches used to make charcoal for the blacksmith or making fences et cetera.
    For combat the handle was removed and a haft of some six foot long replaced it. It now looks similar to the halberd and made for an excellent weapon. You could stab with the point or hack with the blade's edge or use the hook to pull a man off his horse. It was the most common weapon used by Medieval infantry as it had a good reach against other weapons or cavalry.

    In the UK during the 1980s and 90s the head of the British Board of Film Classification decided Nunchucks were a dangerous weapon. They were therefore cut from a number of films and TV in the UK. Most significant was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (renamed Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles over here for more or less the same reason).

    The movie High Risk 1995 with Jet Li also features Nunchucks and a improvised version too. I love this movie for the 1990s action with guns and kung fu and a very funny side plot with the character Frankie who imitates Bruce Lee. It is worth watching espcially the dubbed version. The Jackie Chan movie City Hunter 1993 also features night sticks that can be converted to nunchucks by a switch. Those are the only two I can remember not shown in your video. Thank you again for the videos. Always great to watch and pick up new films to watch.

    One move you rarely see is very basic but effective: the one where you whip it from your arm pit to strike forward at a point. You get maximum force and accuracy. I used to toss pebbles with one hand and launch them, wonderfull thrumm sound. One agricultural based weapon, the battle scythe is almost always portrayed wrong. Before taking it into battle a smith would bend it's socket so that the blade pointed forward: you got a pole arm with a long curved blade, sharp on the inside rather than outside as it would be with a scimitar or katana.

    Another great advantage of nunchucks, and even more for a ball and chain flail, is that they can somewhat bypass blocks: if you raise your shield just high enough to block a downward swing from a sword, a flexible weapon like a nunchuck might still hit you

    Flail was used as a weapon for centuries, one of the most striking examples were flail units of the Hussites armies.
    It is cheap, practical weapon, and the fact that it has been used for centuries in almost all parts of the world is a testament of their effectiveness.

    Yes the use of nunchucks in the movies is all sow. And a great show it is. When my son took Kung-Fu, the nunchucks were used as a strike weapon, a method to block other weapons or blows. The fancy moves and twirling and such for for use in a 'form' (moves and weapons display routine), Still they look great on film, especially in the hands of the late Bruce Lee.

    Wow thanks Johnny, what memories these bring back. When I was a young idiot the popular TV show kung fu was showing and we also had Bruce Lee movies we could sneak in to watch at the cinema, so here's how that worked out. Firstly, being young and stupid, (12-14 ish) none of us realised that nunchucks were a movie weapon, (I should type weapon in upper case but I digress) because of how many of us tried to make them (yes see 'stupid' earlier) consequently many hilarious trips to A&E happened. Followed by making other dangerous weapons and the after effects. How we survived I do not know but one question always stuck in my mind, why? Why let any of us make them in the first place? My brother still has a dent in his forehead because of an 'accident' with his nunchucks. We both got a slap for that lol. I think you have opened a can of worms with this video, and plenty of laughter too. Excellent work as always and thank you for the list of reference movies, I'd like to add thanks to the other guys here who have a few films they have added, awesome.

    There is one physical property that is often missed with whip type weapons.
    Hitting someone with a stick causes recoil.
    Sure, there isn't the same amount of potential power in a nunchuk, but there are limits to how much power you can put in to a stick without hurting your self anyways.
    If you are skilled, then you can put in more force in to a nunchuk than your arms could normally handle with a stick.
    It has its benefits and downsides.

    I always questioned the effectiveness of nun chuks, but I feel like some things are left out.
    A stick of the same length of a nun chuk would be more effective.
    I've been hit by nun chuks from messing around, and they hurt, I'm sure you could cave in a skull, especially when weighted. But you can't block with nun chuks.
    As said, not only they are more dangerous to the user, and it takes more time to train with, but attacks are easier to fail. Sudden loss of footing or the opponent faints an attack.
    But that scene from Braveheart has to be the best way to use nun chuks for concealment, and the length can be surprising, but the swing can still fail.
    Flail weapons do have an effective purpose with calvery, the shock from the strike doesn't go straight to your hands, on foot more things can go wrong.

    The medieval weapon, the ball and chain or morning star is not too different in concept than the nunchucks, the main difference is instead of another rod on the other end is a ball with spikes on it or just an iron ball. At West Point Museum there is a morning star on display in the weapons gallery. What is interesting about it is the handle is long with metal studs fixed on it and the ball is actually wood but with metal spikes sticking out of it. The long handle is interesting to me because it looks as if it could also be used as a weapon if there is any damage to the chain or the ball, or it could be used defensively to parry with.

    @chengong388 Год назад +1

    The “can be useful if skilled enough” argument is a trap many fall, into when defending their favourite thing. Get this, having a clothe hanger in your hand is better than having no weapon, and if you train enough with a clothe hanger you can get quite good, and defeat opponents with real weapons, it doesn’t make a clothes hanger an effective weapon.
    The definition of an “effective weapon” is a weapon with very high training to damage ratio, it is a weapon you can do the most damage with the least training/effort. This does not exclude high skill weapons like swords or rapiers because they also have correspondingly high potential, you can definitely kill someone in one strike with a sword and you can do it every time if you’re skilled. However the most skilled nunchuck user cannot guarantee killing someone with one strike, despite requiring even more training.

  • @guessundheit6494
    @guessundheit6494 Год назад +1

    People are impressed by speed and movement more than actual effectiveness. It can have its uses, but like most farm implements turned into weapons, it was used out of desperation, not design. It's arguably a better defensive weapon than offensive, and it's better for its concealment than its effectiveness. A bo stick has more reach, controllability and striking power. The best stealth use is holding both ends together, fooling the opponent into thinking it's a short weapon and moving within its range.

    Can't say I agree with everything you said in the video, but I love that you mentioned the fact that it's concealable, which I think is the nuchackaku's biggest advantage. A baseball bat is a better fighting weapon, but where you gonna hide that?
    The nunchaku is also potentially more lethal compared to, say, a pipe of the same length as one section of the nunchaku because it utilizes centripetal(not sure, not a physicist) force. I liken its usage to how people used blackjacks. I bet someone else can explain this much better than me.

    the Nunchucku's true great use is a disarming weapon, using its speed and deceptive telegraphing makes it extremely ideal for attacking the opponent's wrists and forcing them to drop their weapon from impact recoil, what you do from there is dependent on what martial art you know that can best use the weapon or more likely puting it to the side to better capitalize on the disarmed foe

    I actually used nunchucks in a fight just last night for the first time and they actually worked pretty damn good, the story sounds so fake but I swear that this shit really happened, to make a long story shorter me and my friends were at the mall and things got heated between my group and another group and eventually we went outside so my friend could fight 1 on 1 with another guy, keep in mind it was only about 10 of us compared to 20-40 of them, the moment my friend stepped outside 5-8 of them jumped him so I pulled out my nunchucks and I smacked one guy twice and everyone backed off my friend, I’ll skip the rest of the details of the fight to save time but at the end I ended up having to run away cause one of them was about to pull a knife on me. Anyways tho my answer as to if nunchucks are good or not is to just only use them if you’re actually good with them which applies to every weapon so use what you want as long as you can do it effectively

    you can be flashy, show off, etc with any weapon, and hit yourself. it's exaggerated how easy it is to hit yourself, since a simple swing is all you probably need.
    It doesn't change the fact that it's one of the worst weapons thats better than nothing. there are basically no advantages I know of, other than maybe more length in some situations. I doubt there is even one reasonably smart well trained practicer who would take it over a stick, knife, etc of similar length.they are better than nothing and somewhat flashy, but honestly if you want to train flail weapons, a meteor hammer, rope dart, kusari kama, etc are way more flashy, cool and effective

    He bonked me once, but I non full contact cracked him a few times that took him 1/2 an hour to get up from.
    Honestly, I'd rather a (cudgel) over a (nun-chuck-short flail) as they really don't hurt to get hit with!

    I think the Nunchucks were a better weapon before you cut them in half.
    Easier to control, and the chain is going to absorb all the energy in them when you strike.
    You can say everything you want about "technique" but that's just physics. No amount of practice or skill is going to over come it, you can still deliver dangerous damage with them sure.
    But a solid stick will win every time.
