tommarker Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I'm not talking about the ball bearings, i'm talking about where it attaches to the stick. Maybe the stuff at the local store is just off these days, but I've seen some crap ones lately, and have seen a few break. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
stl_karateka Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I know you said you wont be taking proper nunchuck training -- but are you part of a school? Most dojos have catalogs where you can order from. Champion and Asian Martial Arts are the prominent ones --- and may have websites were you can order if that is your best option.

Silent bob Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I would suggest the wooden corded version as i have had 8 pairs of ball bearing nunchukas break on me. After time the inner section breaks away. As well as this the corded style is traditional, faster, quieter and lasts longer if you use the correct cord (making sure the rotational area is sanded down so theres minimal friction). Who Dares Wins.
battousai16 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 i still hold that it's very helpful to start with chains. and you appreciate the benefits of cord after you've gone through chain. and your bearings shouldn't break if you keep them well lubricated.

Metsubushi Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 https://www.battleorders.co.uk sells them wodden / metal / flashy ones / practise pair ones
bigpopparob2000 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 What about length? 12" or 14"? Take the stick part of the nunchuck and press it up against your forearm with one end right at your elbow. The other end should be above your wrist. That's the rule of thumb as it was explained to me. BTW, where would you go to find out about your local laws regarding using a weapon for self defense or even self defense in general?
battousai16 Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 you would go to your local library/city hall and ask them where they keep all of the books on your state laws. "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
