    THE NUNCHAKU

    The nunchaku is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon


    consisting of two sticks connected at one end by a short chain
    or rope. Used by Okinawan farmers,[citation needed] it was not
    a historically popular weapon because it was ineffective against
    the most widely used weapons of that time, and because few
    techniques for its use existed. The two sections of the weapon
    are commonly made out of wood, while the link is a cord or a
    metal chain. The nunchaku is most widely used in martial arts
    such as Okinawan kobud and karate, and is used as a training
    weapon, since it allows the development of quicker hand
    movements and improves posture.

    In modern times, nunchaku (Tabak-Toyok) were popularized by


    actor and martial artist Bruce Lee and his student, actor and
    martial arts instructor Dan Inosanto, in their respective movies.
    Organizations

    including

    Nunchaku

    Association, World Amateur Nunchaku Organization, Fdration


    Internationale de Nunchaku de Combat et Artistique, World
    Nunchaku Association, and International Techdo Nunchaku
    Association teach the use of nunchaku as a contact sport.

    Modern-day nunchaku can be made from metal, wood, plastic


    or fibreglass. Toy and replica versions made of polystyrene
    foam or plastic are also available. Possession of this weapon is

    illegal in some countries, except for use in professional martial


    art schools.
