Nunchuks: any practical use whatsoever? (1 Viewer)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I have summers off so I have plenty of time to think about important stuff...

Has anybody ever seen anybody use nunchuks in an actual street fight or for self-defense? They're pretty much just for show, right?

Example: two hicks (probably big confederate flag fans) brawl with nunchuks...for about 10 seconds then they realize how worthless they are.

About as realistic as two 7 year olds fencing with wrapping paper tubes.

It looks like the best way to defend yourself from a nunchuk attack is to not use nunchuks.

They're great for hitting yourself in the face.

Which TMNT used them in the game?

 

[Zow]

You know you're not doing much for the teacher's side of the "should teachers get paid more" debate.

I already knew that rednecks will fight for no reason whatsoever.

Last year my 4 year old daughter was a ninja for Halloween. She had this set of what were basically nerf nunchucks. They had some plastic at the ends. About a month later my 9 year old comes in with a bloody lip:

Son: Daddy, I just learned life lesson number 427.

Me: What the heck happened?

Son: Never bother your sister when she's holding her nunchucks.

Bout peed on myself.

Is that why you broke it off with Connie Copenhagen?

Ranks right up there with baton twirling.

Actually, just like so many things, if you know what you are doing they can be effective.

Put me in the "they look really cool, but don't seem to do much" camp.

ETA: still would probably die if Bruce Lee came at me with some

 

[dickey moe]

Munoz used some in a street fight one time with me and his pops against some thugs off of Agate Street who beat up one of his brother's friends- - no lie.

 

[Wildcat]

Taught myself to use them Bruce Lee style when I was a teenager (42 now). Still can do all the tricks, etc. Using them correctly, they are a good self defense weapon. The people in the videos aren't using them as effectively as they should be. From an tucked under your underarm position, you can snap them really quickly. See :17 in the Bruce Lee video. Swinging them takes too much time and leaves you vulnerable. Never fought with them so no practical experience on my part. Probably would get my ### handed to me in a real fight

Guys from Gwar fighting with nunchuks

The English guy doing commentary is great. He seems to know zero about it, but his accent definitely classes up the broadcast.

This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

Nunchakus are a great controlling device and not always used for striking.

 

[EYLive]

I once ambushed my mom with foam nunchucks I bought in chinatown. When she came to, she cornered me and beat me with slippers. Chained sticks are no match for wimmins footwear when it comes to close-quarter combat.

Depends on what you're trying to control. It doesn't help with balance one bit.

My cousin was pretty bad ### with nunchucks

Did the guy at 0:31 squeeze a ketchup package on his head?

How did that go?

I'd love to see some footage of that.
