Rattan is a good wood for Nunchaku, a little on the light side but at this price, go for it. _________________ Look to the far mountain and see all. |

Rattan is good. However, I don't like the chain. I love the rope!! Why? Chains bind, ropes don't.

I prefer rope as well for the same reason. _________________ Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.

Good for what application?
Spinning around? Sure. Any kind of actual contact training? Forget it.
There are nunchaku that will survive 30-40 years and there are nunchaku that won't make it past 5 years.
Oldest example in this photo are from 1975.
These date to the late 60s early 70s.
All still good to go... _________________ Not ready for prime time signature removed. |

If you are going traditional these are not the way to go. for training for real you need rope. also the length of rope should be short. less than one fist should fit between the two sides. _________________ "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious." |
