when your using sectioned weapons do you prefer chain or string to form the links? i have heard people argue about this and i have no preference. just wondering what the majority of people prefer and why.

Haven't used a sectioned staff yet, but I would like to. I have used nunchaku extensively and my preference depends on whether I am doing a demonstration (in class or tourney) or fighting (real or practice). I prefer the traditional rope type of cord for class and demos. It moves more smoothly and it's quieter. For a more realistic combat situation, I would rather have a heavy chain. Mostly because it is harder to break or cut. Especially if I have to fight a bladed weapon, one hard swipe could destroy my weapon.

Hey, a fellow Goshin guy. Glad to see we're still around throughout the country. If you ever make it to Ohio, we can do some training. I'm sure our curriculum is very similar.

I am not a fan of the linked weapons. Because, when you hit something with them there is a split second when you are not in control of the weapon. And a lot of bad things can happen when your not in control for instance it hitting you in the head or wrist etc etc.
