8 inch nunchaku

[chrisw08]

Im teaching my 8 year old daughter nunchaku and ordered some 8 inch foam with two inch cord to practice with. I was wondering how many chain links were on the 8 inch foam nunchaku is it 7 like normal 5 4 or? I was just wondering how many chain links are on the 8 inch foam nunchaku

I think this depends on the manufacturer. I would imagine 7 would be the correct answer but I prefer cord so I don't have as much experience with chain as others might.

Zaine is on the money.

Generally (if you count the links attached to the bearings) there are 7 links.

Speed chucks have 5.

2 inch cord is closer to the 5 link than the 7, and give a better overall feel i think (particularly octagonal handles!)

Osu.

This is why I favor Cord over Chain, you can have the cord any length you want!

That, and I find that cords are better for binding appendages. Chains are uncomfortable, sure, but I feel that cords are more constricting and allow for better torque, if you take my meaning.
