The actual street effectiveness of using two nunchacku is very low. To properly swing a nunchaku it requires a lot of body movement, the kind that doesn't pair too well with arming both sides with sticks on a string. In a real fight the cords would get caught up too easily and it would be very difficult to control. Also you would loose all of the grappling applications if you used two pairs. Nunchaku as a weapon were designed to be used as a single pair.

 

Now as a spinning baton on a string, chucks are twice as flashy when you have two. But if you do this, you need to have glowing sticks and be sure the lights are off so you can't see anything but the twirly things in front of your face. This simulates a defense against someone spinning you around on an office chair while being drunk in Las Vegas, or something...:roll:

The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.
