Nanchaku
The nunchaku (often "nunchuks" or "karate sticks" in English) is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks connected at one end by a short chain or rope. The two pieces of the weapon are usually made out of wood, while the connector is a cord or a metal chain. The nunchaku is most widely used in martial arts such as Karate, and is used as a training weapon, since it allows the development of quicker hand movements and improves posture. Modern-day nunchaku are made from metal, wood, plastic or fibreglass. Possession of this weapon is illegal in some countries, except for use in professional martial art schools.
