Nunchaku

The nunchuck is a traditional weapon of the Kobudo weapons set and consists of two sticks connected at their ends with a short chain or rope.

The Chinese use the nunchaku more than anyone else. The traditional Okinawan arts use the sticks primarily to grip and lock, while the Filipino arts use the sticks primarily for striking, while Taekwondo teaches a combination of both. Nunchaku training has been noted to increase hand speed, correct posture and condition the hands of the practitioner.
