    First of all, I really liked your video, you have great energy and are very enthusiastic. Having said that, I disagree with most of your counter points, especially since you've straw-manned some of my statements on nunchucks, and nearly every other counter argument you make has some very serious flaws in logic. I'm not saying this in malice, like I said I actually really liked your video, especially the parts on blocking and grappling, but I would also love to dismantle the arguments you've proposed here because some of them are really bad and I love enthusiastic debate.
    Having said all that, I'm mindful of the size of my audience and don't want to inadvertently cause a dogpile or cause you any distress if you're not wanting to engage in a proper back and forth, unless of course your channel or this video grows large enough so that the engagement isn't overly one-sided because then it's fair game. If I were to reply I would not be aggressive to you, I think you're great, but I would be very aggressive to the arguments and logic you've put forth and deconstruct them to the level they deserve.
    So I leave it up to you, if you don't want me to respond I won't, and I wish you all the best in the future.
    Cheers.

The only time that a nunchuck would probably be more powerful than a stick is if both ends are perfectly parallel to each other during the moment of contact (which would still not guarantee the best kinetic force transfer due to the stop of the "grip" stick), and that rarely happens. A stick does not bounce, while a nunchuck does, ensuring optimal momentum transfer from the stick.

    To be fair I think most of the disagreement comes from the cultural gap. On one hand we have a martial art accomplice who refers mostly to streetfight and other duels where people are poorly equipped; on the other hand, a medieval Europe enthusiast who speaks battlefield and armoured combat.
    I think you've made it very clear that in most situations that Shad likes to envision, yes, nunchaku are useless. It won't do much against an armoured opponent, and the speed won't compensate for the lack of power. But as a self-defence or assassin's weapon, it can be pretty damn effective.

      I think a lot of the resentment torwards nunchuks stems from a lack of that situational awareness.
      (Almost) nobody's mad when nunchucks are depicted as effective weapons in MMA-centered media. Nobody gets angry when Bruce Lee uses nunchucks.
      But then there are fantasy settings with those "awesome", "badass" fighters that take out armored and armed opponents with nunchucks. To the point where it feeds into this urban legend that nunchucks could be actually efficient military-grade weapons.
      And that is the point where HEMA-centric weapon enthusiasts get annoyed be them.

      ​@@austincummins7712 The difference, is that Shad raged against Nu-Sensei. During the height of the (racial) harassment across all platforms, he posted a video, "Nu-Sensei: Idiot, or Troll?" And later when Nu made some polite comments about Lars' draw, Shad sent him threatening emails. Whereas, in this case, Shad specifically encouraged his friends to be nice to the small youtuber to avoid the reputation for bullying he's had....
      Of course, this is also in the video where he makes disgusting sexual jokes, picking on the smallest youtuber that responded for an hour and a half, focusing ONLY on him as the preferred strawman.
      So I agree Shad understands argument pretty well, and knows what fallacies... using them to his advantage. If a critic isn't extremely mild in their critique, accepting the majority of Shady's points, he accuses them critics of strawmanning, that they maliciously twisted what he said, while simultaneously using the most blatant lies imaginable. He claimed Nu called "Shad's" draw impossible, showing evidence... but if you read the rest of the sentence, after the highlighted part, Nu clarifies it is in no way impossible. The same was done to one of the Historians Shady attacked, when the guy actually said in another comment on screen, "I used to draw that way as a kid, so I know it's not impossible."
      His own videos prove this about him... so I don't understand how you, a person who I read as kind and genuinely concerned about victims of harassment, has not recognized this.

      The stick doesn’t have the same intimidation factor, in a modern age where defending yourself has serious legal ramifications the nunchucks are my carry weapon of choice. 90% of the time where I’m in a situation where I need to defend myself the nunchuck has avoided the conflict completely cause after swinging it around for like 5 seconds they don’t wanna get close and stop so the conflict is resolved or you can run away and if I need to I can still finish the conflict cause they are still quite hesitant when approaching and it’s just so much easier to go to town on them then with a stick, a stick is also quite easy to be taken away by a person with any experience and then you’re fucked, thanks to the learning curve of the nunchuck and the fast movement speed I don’t have to worry about that. Almost everyone carries a knife but has never used it in conflict but are not actually prepared to stab someone it’s almost impossible to prepare for it. Most people with a knife are hesitant to ever hurt someone with it since you will most likely end their life or leave them in critical condition with most strikes and if they have a knife themselves you’re gonna be at risk as well.

    1. Centrifugal/centripetal force does not add to the striking power because by definition it acts at a right angle to the direction of movement.

    Wow! There's so much I'd like to say to you about nunchaks and what Shad Brooks thinks of them. The one thing I'll say here is that I appreciate your research. Nunchaks were never really that popular traditionally compared to other Ryukyuan weapons as evidenced by the fact that no known kata exist for the nunchak; and yet, they NEVER WENT AWAY! So the Okinawans must have had a good reason for keeping them around. If you look at the weapon IN CONTEXT, it's actually quite useful; it was designed BY civilians and FOR civilians for SELF-DEFENSE. The nunchak is NOT a weapon for battlefield combat and it NEVER WAS! It was intended for self-defense in street fights, and it does that very well!

    even if it doesn't have the practicality or ease of use of something like a baseball bat it's still easy to see why it's so popular. The level of discipline it fosters and just how beautiful it can be in demonstrations are the main draws here in addition to all the wonderful stuff you showcased in this video of course. Martial arts aren't about the most direct and efficient way to take someone down or else every martial artist would just give up and buy a gun.

    • @vksasdgaming9472
      @vksasdgaming9472 3 года назад +6

      Baseball bat is much less practical than nunchaku is. It is heavier and way slower and predictable than nunchaku is. Not to mention it is impossible to conceal. You get one predictable swing and as it misses you are open to bazillion counters which will wreck you real bad.
      Martial arts (judo, karate. taekwondo, wrestling, boxing....) are about most efficient way of fighting. Maximum effect with least effort. At least with using wielder's own body or hand-to-hand weaponry. Sometimes that least effort may mean reverse roundhouse kick to head. Sometimes stepping out of way. Sometimes mulching face with small, symmetrically built flail.

    • @joshuaclabeaux1470
      @joshuaclabeaux1470 Год назад +2

      Yeah, did it ever occur that maybe being less lethal than a knife is a bonus for nunchaks? It's a lot easier to explain your use of force to the law when your assailant DIDN'T die... like Shad says, the one situation where the nunchak is advantageous is if you need to HIDE a weapon (and as this guy demonstrates in this video, nunchaks do lend themselves to that quite well). My take is that a nunchak is less likely to kill your opponent while still defending you just as effectively (if not better!). Yes, nunchaks CAN smash brains, but this is a rare occurrence. So can a nunchak deliver a lethal strike? Yes, absolutely! Is it as likely to do so as a knife? No, not even close!

    Thank you for standing up for nunchaku and practicing MA. I encourage you to explore grappling with them as one of their primary uses is grappling and there is a lot of literature on the subject, typically you’d want a shorter length of cord, or chain to do such easily..I too have been practicing Kobudo for over a decade and can promise you there is a viable application. Next time you are in your garage wrap the chain around your wrist or forearm, hold one end with your body and gradually apply pressure with the other and you will experience the debilitating pain at some point without having to use much force. With a shorter cord you don’t have to wrap all you have to do is drape them over a limb and move the ends together so imagine what would happen with intention. I say this to you not to be any kind of way but to be a brother and hopefully encourage you to explore more options with the weapon I implore you to look at this with an open mind.

    That right there...that's the main issue. There was a guy on YT (Wushu Engineer) that used a load cell to test the power of a nunchuck vs baton he used a scientific approach and he did it well. He's a martial artist that knows how to use them, but he had doubts so he wanted to look at the data, not rely on sound.
    7:40 ...you can, also, strike with a baton without any "load up", rest it on your shoulder and you can strike overhead, side, or diagonal
    8:26 "...you also get centrigual force"
    yeah, you also get that with a baton, with anything really, even a bucket of water
    8:45 again, you are comparing sound instead of data. Whips work in a different way than nunchucks, whips are thickest at the handle and thinnest at the tip.
    10:58 sure but did they didn't compare it with a stick or a baton, no one said u can't break a skull with nunchucks, they apply enough force but again a baton apples more without the chance of hurting your self (and also you don't need training to be able to not hit your self with a baton)
    13:06 "...and create an opinion based upon logic"
    well yeah, i saw Wushu Engineers video that used logic and showed data and that was enough for me, you should watch the video as well if you preach what you say
    13:15 "...respect the culture and hmm why did this culture keep this around"
    As someone who trained Aikido for a few years, made a step back, tried BJJ and saw that the lack of sparing is so detrimental to the martial art...i can say that even tho Aikido is old and tied to a culture with all respect to the Japanese Aikido is mostly bull-crap and isn't a martial art. I will not accept something on the sole merit of it being around for a while, that just isn't a factor in it being actually viable.

      I find the comparison to sticks and batons to nunchucks a bit fallacious. They can both exist in a martial artist’s arsenal at the same time. Kobudo teaches staff techniques more than nunchucks. The staff is the “king” of kobudo weapons, as it were. Training with nunchucks will only elevate your baton, knife, or even unarmed skills. It will improve your hand eye coordination, relaxes, stamina, and strength. The same muscles you use to swing and catch nunchucks will be the same muscles you’d use to swing and catch other weapons. I always say that it’s like a very physical rubix cube at first but I am a major proponent to its benefits. At the end of the day they are very effective street fighting weapons as they allow you to conceal your weapon, pull it out and deliver a smashing blow to the face very quickly. Most street fights are determined by how damaging the very first blow is.

    As a noob when it comes to melee weapons I would pick up a stick/staff/club any day over nunchucks. Not because I think nunchucks are bad, but rather because despite being a noob, I'd still be able to fight somewhat efficient with a stick/staff/club. I could use brute force when fighting with these weapons which is most likely what I would resort to anyway if I couldn't run away and had to fight for my life.
    Even if I know about some nunchucks tricks, how to hold it and perform jabs, I wouldn't be able to utilize that in a real life fight. Nunchucks got a steep skill curve and anyone who thinks it would be better than a simple stick in a real fight is mistaken, unless if you're a nunchucks super-user/expert/master.
    As said, I don't think nunchucks are bad. I think they are scary af in the hands of an expert.

      @@vksasdgaming9472 I don't need one lesson to know how to whack or stab with a stick, and I can do those things fast and repeatedly with a stick. Because again, that's what I'd resort to in a real fight.
      After one lesson with nunchucks I'm sure I could beat the shit out of a target dummy. However, in a real life fight where adrenaline kicks in and you don't have time to remember how to do things, I'm certain I'd just be flailing around with the nunchucks.
      I'm really just picking a realistic non-naive approach here. Again, I don't think nunchucks are bad, they are scary but complex. A stick is as simple as it gets.

Shad's biggest point is that you require the knowledge to use them before they become a very effective weapon, unlike some other options. Basically that nunchucks are more complicated than other weapons, which is a solid fact that nobody can disagree with. People are seeming to forget this entirely.

      Daggers? Sure, if you know your way around grappling with one. But most swords are pretty useless at super close ranges, much harder to thrust and slicing isn't a big threat, especially against anyone with a bit of protection like armor. Best bet is to strike with the pommel or guard and try to drive your opponent back (like shown) or drop it and switch to a different weapon (like a dagger).

      "Almost". If you hit yourself with an axe the consequences can be severe, even if you hit yourself only once. Moreover these axes accidents are likely not from using the axes as a weapon, but for example chopping wood or using it as a tool in general, which overall brings the axes more into a trajectory towards yourself then if you use it as a weapon.

      As for using it as a weapon... that's actually worse. Most wood chopping is against a stationary target, and often you can pick the angle least likely to injure yourself. In combat however, under stress, the most common swing is diagonal... and that's the one most likely to cause the injury. You can test it out yourself with a dummy axe. It only takes some practice to avoid it, of course.

      For the Hittite we have archeological evidence, comparing the existence of an entire empire to the existence a few rebellions/invasions to proof a weapon origin story is ridiculous.
      As for the humand sacrifices, we actually might have never known about these without outside writing sources like from the Romans and Greeks.
      There are many romanticized stories about many things in history, the nunchucks most definitely can fall under this unless you have clear historical evidence it wasn't.
      *It would be utterly ridiculous if the nobles fought on their own, without peasants to support them....*
      Actually that is exactly how it often was done, ofcourse you need to take the "nobility" wider including retainers that were higher ranked than peasants (something like very low nobility without much wealth and/or land). Ofcourse they could have used peasants to support them logistically (in fact they almost certainly did), but not really during battle. And even if peasants fought during battles, they'd be giving some better battlefield weapons like spears, etc. Even if can argue nunchucks are a good/acceptable selfdefence weapon, arguing it might be a good battlefield weapon is most definitely absurd.
      *I learnt the history from my college instructor, who teaches cultural history.*
      This doesn't say much, a college instructor can say anything, especially if he himself truly believes that history to be correct, this doesn't mean it isn't. Was you college instructor an expert historian that actually delved into the history of the nunchucks? Or did he just like you heard it from his own teacher/someone else.
      Like I said, it is certainly possible peasants used it to defend themselves because it was on hand and because they thaught it was a good weapon (afterall peasant really didn't know much about weapons or warfare at the time, considering even today intimidation is still seen as one of the best points of nunchucks, they possibly might have had a similar feeling, valueing the nunchucks more as a weapon than it deserves), or maybe it was something that they just could carry with them without suspicion. This doesn't take away that a logical and non biased assessment of the nunchucks actually shows it is not a good weapon compared to other weapons.
