If you look up nunchaku You can get a pair on eBay. If you want them for application I would suggest octagon chucks with nylon rope. The flat surfaces clamp into the persons bone and create an edge that will cut someone when you hit them. If you just want to twirl and have fun, I like to use rattan chucks with a chain. Hope this helps
Absolutely wonderful video thank you! I was looking for somewhere to start to practice this weapon and you gave so much stuff I think I could work only on that for a few months hahaha! Not only did you give "simple to understand lifelong to master" exercises, but your body seems totally relaxed all the way through (like, you just let it fly around you for 17mn while talking, this alone shows that you know the tool quite well), you explain what is useful for combat and what is useful for training but useless for combat which seems like a small detail but is of great significance to me. (I started practicing the russian saber as of lately and it starts with manipulations just like what you show here. Some manipulations are clearly bad for a combat situation. People around me were trying to convince me that these were useful while mastered. When I asked the instructor, she said she didn't know how to use that in combat, that you likely don't have the time or clarity of mind anyways, but that there is a lot of value for both training purposes and demonstration purposes.). This honesty is of great value when practicing, so that you don't train in illusions. Long story short, thanks a lot for sharing this video. Going to add this work to my routines!
I learned a lot from this! Although, keep it in mind that since you are learning Filipino art, you should use Filipino terms. Eg. instead of sarong, use malong, etc. And tabak toyok is a bit hard to pronounce for non native speakers, so I want to clarify that it "can" be pronounced as TAH-buck TOE-yuck. But other than that, I loved this vid!
What are compressions? Also are there any grappling/locking techniques associated to this weapon? I've recently started studying/training in a Tang Lang which is one of many systems in Chinesae Martial Arts and although the weapon is unrelated except for its similarities to the two section staff the weapon seems to embody certain principles that I've learned in my system and subsystem and that is of circular energy/momentum. Like the Tabak Toyok(nunchaku) when we strike with out fists we recycle the energy and come back around for repeated shots or we bounce back and use our sensitivity to understand and predict our opponents next move and our own. Anyways this weapon seems perfect to learn because it would be such a perfect tool to train and understand these principles.
Grappling and locking techniques are the main use of this weapon close quarters. The specifics of the locks are more akin to Sarong style locks as opposed to stick grappling locks. A compression lock causes submission through pressure instead of joint manipulation. For instance, if you hold the back of someone’s head and drive your forehead into their cheekbone and he taps, that would be considered a compression. Compressions are more effective with this weapon for the same reason that using a rope pulley system allows one to lift more weight. It allows you to overclock the pounds per square inch you can create because of the flexible nature of the rope. One can literally splinter bone with the compression force of the Nunchaku or Sarong. That being said as a principle I would look up Sarong style locks to get an idea of how to better use this weapon.

That was a great break down. Learned a few more switches and rebounds. Great technique!
I feel like I just stumbled upon a gold mine!
