    Ultimately, Nunchakus are cool looking weapons (made even cooler by Bruce Lee), but they fall short in being practical due to it’s high learning curve and high risk factor. If you’re ever confronted by Nunchucks, simply run away. If you can’t run away, protect your head and tackle the opponent. You might get hit, but it won’t be as dangerous if you give your opponent a chance to aim. Even in John Wick, he never finishes his opponent with the nunchucks, he weakens them with the nunchucks then uses his firearm to finish them.
    Nunchucks are mostly effective as a surprise ambush where you can choke or guarantee a hit. At the end of the day, they look fantastic when performing with them, but not for self defense. What do you think?

      I think that if a person attacks with a weapon of any kind, not by showing off, but by silently approaching, he probably knows how to handle it.
      A few years ago I personally saw two men sitting in a bar. They had a fight, one of them smashed the other one's face with a big mug. He left with a bloody face and came back with nunchakus. He kicked him so hard, they had to call an ambulance. I was a little shocked, so I stayed to watch, and I didn't finish my drink. He didn't even hit himself. Just the nunchakus hit his body occasionally, but nothing serious.

      Totally agree. I've practiced with the Nunchucks for a few years. I use them for fun and exercise. I did some tests on a sandbag and a baseball bat seemed to generate even more force than me doing a full back turning hit with the Nunchucks.

    • @ankoe0803
      @ankoe0803 9 месяцев назад +12

      I think if nunchucks weren't effective, they wouldn't have survived to this day as a self-defense weapon, and would have been supplanted by something effective. Like the balisong, which many people consider just a toy and underestimate.

      No in john wick, he was demonstrated as a person who use it for the first time, he dont use it as a primary weapon. Plus, he learn how to use it in 1 min with no experience before. It seems like effective but it was because of his combat experience and the assasin stuff
      So it kind of safe way to use than the effective way
      With john wick style, you less likely to hit yourself be cause it kind of flare style so it safer
      In the end john wick nunchuck style is not effective, john wick can be a killing machine but hes not a weapon master

      Here are the pros, hard to master means your opponent probably doesn't know about them as much as you, the chain makes it able to moves ways a solid thing like a stick can't, like stopping mid swing and still hitting with the momentum. However this would like power in a weapon that already has a problem with having it in the first place. They're easy to carry bc they aren't big and can fold, that's sort of it. Being convenient to hold and hard to understand don't make a weapon good, especially when there are better weapons that can also do those things.

    • @kurokenjustu6290
      @kurokenjustu6290 9 месяцев назад +37

      Okay lets break it down
      + light weight, easy to transport
      + harder to catch compare to a stick
      + Hit harder than a stick bcsof momentum thing
      + Have more stance than a same size stick (in eastern stile okay?) (Back hand, armpit catch, over head, archer,....)
      Here is a cons
      - need practice (compare with stick)(i mean you dont just have a nunchuck if you dont ever trained it duh)
      - Concentrate on movement, distance (need a fare well distance to generate full power)(every weapon, even your fist need good distance to generate full power, and in every martial art, movement is key)
      - you can hit yourself? (I mean if you have been trained you wont have this bullshit mistake why i even put it here?)(it have chain, if it hit the target with enough power it just slide though there for there is no bounce back and hit you :vvvvvvvv)

      You're on the right track. The Nunchaku were actually designed and used as a Farm Tool. Rice grain would be placed on a canvas covered floor. Then, several Farm worker would beat the Rice with a "Rice Flail", called a Nunchaku. This beating of the Rice would separate a hard, non-eatable Rice "Jacket" from the individual Rice Grain. At times, the Farm Workers may become involved in a fight, and they would use their Nunchaku Farm Tool as a weapon.
      So, the Nunchakus main purpose was as a Farm Tool, and not actually a weapon. The Nunchaku Farm Tool can be found in Okinawa, Japan, China, and other parts of Asia.

    Directional wise that’s all your really need…He named practically every direction. It’s good for range because you need momentum. Even swords need an opening to swing. That’s why if you’re a practitioner of the arts it wouldn’t hurt to learn something close handed in case you enable your opponent to get close to you.
    Everything has a learning curve. The things that are deemed simple are complex and vice versa so look at things through both lenses and you’ll master it.
    Even Musashi said, “It will be difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.” The whole essence of martial arts is practice constantly…both with the martial arts and applying that martial arts to daily life. By doing this, you’ll be prepared regardless the situation. Always fight to your advantage.

    As someone who practiced nunchuks... Sadly this is real..
    Pros :-
    It's useful mainly while fighting 2-3 'unarmed' opponents.
    Main advantage is it's unpredictability. Once chambered it can launch attack in any direction.
    Steel or aluminium nunchuks can deal some serious damage.
    Reaches a good bit further than your fist range.
    Cons :-
    Weaker strikes.. Strikes will be significantly weaker compared to a stick of the same length.
    Only circular strikes.. Can't do straight/poking strikes with nunchuks.
    It lacks any close range attacks. You can strangle someone with chain if you get lucky.
    Can't block really. You have to get into a very unnatural posture for blocks.
    Chain can snap rendering your weapon useless.
    Verdict :- Better than fighting bare hands.
    All cons are solved by a simple short stick. Weapons like tonfa, sai, hanbo are far better in this 'blunt force non lethal' category of weapons.

    Thanks for this! I'm not a fan of nunchucks. One more thing you can add here is that it won't be an effective weapon to block another weapon blow. Many are just amazing in playing with it, but to use it against another type of weapon might even bring you damage. You may still use it if you have no choice but to fight for your life, ONLY IF you know how to use it right. Good luck.

  • @redundantfridge9764
    @redundantfridge9764 9 месяцев назад +14

    On a side note, some other plus sides are the concealability (relative to the full length compared to other devices) and if you hit someone, you suffer less from hand shock.
    That being said, I would rather have a regular stick. Not just for practical reasons, but because there are places that actually ban "ninja weapons" and sometimes they include nunchuks in that category.

    • @jaketheasianguy3307

    This is a little off topic but speaking of weapons you can easily hit yourself with that are quite possibly very impractical, has anybody seen rope dart combat attentively adapted as a game mechanic? I doubt I have the capacity to make that functional within several years, but I find it to be a very interesting and dynamic weapon used almost exclusively by psychos. I feel like it could be very interesting and not totally impossible to have a physics based system with that where you can use the rope to wrap around and pull or swing stuff, pivot off enemies and pillars, choke if it's wrapped around an enemy long enough, and of course cut stuff. Should I try to use my very limited patience with and understanding of UE5 to do that or has it been done already?

    • @ericfieldman
      @ericfieldman 9 месяцев назад

      @@vevan99 can't really say anything to that point. Just looked up flail and it looks like there's a similar basic design with a handle, cable like thing and a heavy thing on the end (I use cable to refer to ropes and whips and chains because I imagine they all fall under the category of cable physics, as it's termed in the engine). Although I will say that all the results I got for flail had shorter chains than I'm thinking of. It looks like a meteor hammer is a longer variation of a flail though

    • @ericfieldman
      @ericfieldman 9 месяцев назад

      I just learned what it is, but I'd say that with a flail, the intent is to confuse the opponent about the timing and defense you would take against it, cause that's a little less conventional than a standard sword or a mace with a fixed end that keeps its shape. If the spiky ball end will keep going even if you block the solid part or the chain, you have to worry about it wrapping around and/or hitting as the momentum of the worst part isn't stopped. There's definitely similar elements, but I think a rope dart or a meteor hammer is specifically for very long range, possibly with more power built up because of how much force is needed to account for a gradual decrease in pressure as the force is moved down the change. I'm not really a weapons or physics expert so you might as well consider this hearsay from a wannabe who doesn't account for every detail, but if there's anything to discuss about this stuff I'm happy to do it. I might look into flail techniques for some animation references now

    I've been training nunchuks everyday for hours for 4 years I care to argue that it's not useless close range. You can hit the neck and catch the other handle for an insane Muay Thai clinch. Having both handles in one hand as a short club is effective too. You can hit the knee and if it wraps around easy single leg takedown. Any joint you manage to wrap it around and squeeze the handles is going to break. But the best strategy with chucks is teep kicks and use of off hand and head movement
