i spare with Nunchakus, becouse of the power and the speed when skilled. i saw a clip of a man targeting an apple, as the classic bow vs. apple thing you know, but this apple stood on his wifes head. he ran towards her and*kablam*. 4 stiches and a terrible head ache, for him. he fell and hit him self in the back head. seriously, nunchaku is THE weapon for close-med fighting. the only thing thats negative against nunchakus, is that it is used in street fights. kids buying/crafting nunchakus becouse of respect. some even use em for strangling. some says its becouse of Bruce Lee movies, they got so popular in the streets. but i suggest you train with em and see for your self. they are really magical. harmony. the flouting movements...the power. ;P i love them!
