yamesu Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Cause im from australia dn they dont let nunchaku be bought or sold but they do allow them to be made this is incorrect, in certain states, ie) QLD, the department of firearms (i think!) issues licences to instructors for the purchase of nunchuku for the purpose of teaching MA, other than that, they are extremely illegal-even if they are home made, dont make your own chukkas until you research the laws in your area, and even then, find an instructor who can teach you. ~ the criminal charges in australia for carrying nunchuku around the streets is comparable to that of carrying a small handgun.

alevensalor Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Wow, that's pretty intense. I can't imagine what I would do if I wasn't allowed to train with my chucks. I'd go ape. ~A!

yamesu Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 the laws dont say you cant train with or own chukkas if your with a licenced instructor, you can, but for purposes of MA training only, and so the weapons really not need leave your dojo. the laws do however dictate that you cant carry chukkas around the streets, or on the backseat of your car, as there is no practical need for them, they are nothing but a weapon, especially in the hands of a trained practitioner.

kalashnikov Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Which martial art uses or trains with nunchaku? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorinryu Sensei Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Which martial art uses or trains with nunchaku? Most (All?) Okinawan systems I think do, plus some Japanese systems. There are a whole lot of other systems or individual instructors that teach it (and other kobudo weapons), and do it so poorly that they shouldn't be allowed to IMHO. These people are my biggest pet peeve's in the arts. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

They don't move, feel or react anything like the real thing and you will learn little using them. 2. Call your local police department and ask them. Explain that you are a beginning martial artist and want to know what the laws are that pertain to the possession and carrying of the weapon.
