Nunchaku
The nunchaku (Japanese:
ヌンチャク,Hepburn: nunchaku, is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of
two sticks connected at one end by a short chain or rope. The two sections of
the weapon are commonly made out of wood, while the link is a cord or a metal
chain.
The exact origin of
nunchaku is unclear. Allegedly adapted by Okinawan farmers from a non-weapon
item.
There is much
controversy over its origins: some say it was originally a Chinese weapon,
others say it evolved from a threshing flail, while one theory purports that it
was developed from a horse's bit
