I have these, and as far as nunchaku go they are heavy, bulky, and poorly made

[Newdesign]

Is heavy a bad thing? If is, why?

[Kodakmint]

By itself no, but the combination of all the other things makes them bad.

Nunchaku's and any other MA weapons is up to the practitioners like/dislike. However, your instructor is whom you should ask because he/she might not want you to wield this particularly nunchaku for his/her qualified reason(s).

I personally wouldn't allow my students to train with this nunchaku, no matter rank, for the reasons as stated here by Kodakmint. Shindokan Kobudo only authorizes nunchaku's that are of the rope type because there's no binding and the like.

Good luck and please let us know what you've decided.
