Question

Are nun-chucks a "one size fits all" type of item?

Community Answer

No, every pairs comes with different feeling, weight, etc. The length of the chain also determine how swift you can go. Practice often to get used to one and stick with it. Switching nunchaku will require weeks of time to get used to the new pair in order to be as fast and accurate as the one you already used to.

Question

Can I use nunchucks in self-defense, or is that considered assault?

Community Answer

It depends. If you're in a situation where you need to defend yourself with a weapon, then the specific weapon you use won't really matter. If you're in a situation where you didn't reasonably need a weapon to defend yourself, then it could be considered assault regardless of the weapon you used, including nunchucks.

Question

Can I start off with a steel 450g nunchuku if I am a young teen?

Community Answer

No, because steel is the heaviest type. Therefore, you can't really practice with it unless you are already experienced with the lighter types. Start off with foam then move on to wood then maybe move on to steel.
