Nunchucks is one of the most favorite weapons I have in my collection. I am a small weapon collector, and I have plenty in my arsenal, but this is a special one.
Also called nunchaku, it is a weapon made of two wooden sticks, and these sticks are connected with rope or chain. There are many things to love about this weapon, but here are the three most significant ones:
1. The History of Nunchucks
History of nunchucks is what I love the most. The history of this small weapon suggests that it is a pure fighting weapon. In fact, it was an agricultural weapon turned into a fighting weapon.
It originated in China where it served as a tool for reaping crops like wheat and rice. It looked like a flail. Once a Chinese emperor who lost a battle against Mongolians came to assist villagers in the mainland Chinese territory.
This is where he discovered this flail-like weapon. He adopted it as a fighting weapon and trained his troops with it. They learned to use this weapon and then headed towards Mongolians and battled against them.
Hence, they used this weapon to defeat the Mongolians and emerged victorious against them. This is the history that Chinese take pride in. Also, this is why I love nunchucks. “A weapon that let Chinese recapture their territory”.
2. The Nunchucks Movies
There are many movies that include the use of nunchucks. Especially, the movies of Bruce Lee. The people of 1970s and 1980s know how big a star was Bruce Lee.
He is still popular as one of the all time greats. Most of his movies during that period involved the use of this weapon. Some famous movies include Enter the Dragon.
Since I am an admirer of Bruce Lee, I love nunchucks just because it appeared in some popular movies.
3. Nunchucks Being a Useful Self Defense Weapon
I love nunchucks because it is an advantageous weapon for self defense. This comes up as a successful weapon to battle the attackers. I have been using it for quite some time. It has allowed me to survive against the attackers many times.
What I love the most about this weapon is that it provides a longer reach. I mean, I can use it from a distance. It can stay at a safe distance away from the attacker and strike with some force to injure him. A perfect weapon to deal with the attackers!
