I recently bought a pair of original nunchakus merely for display.However, if the time comes where I must deal with an intruder, how useful would they be? I'm willing to practice at least 2 hours a day if they're worth it.Thanks in advance.
>>64236005The amount of training for them borders on the realm of "no". The odds are you bought the wrong kind that have light wood or hallow, very high.This website is for 18+, come back when you're older.
>I will bash myself in the head for two hours a day to protect my Nintendo switch from imaginary feral niggers instead of working the extra two hours and using the overtime to move somewhere that isn't a shitholeIt's funny how people here wanna larp about shit that won't happen when they don't even have a fire extinguisher or first aid kit in their house.
>>64236017>>64236110why are you faggots umpromptedly assuming anything?I live with my family in a nice city, I was just curious on how effective would nunchakus really be if you put in the necessary work.
>>64236128if someone puts their arm in the way you can't swing their head around to knock them out and stop themthat's also knife range, go back to your age restricted zones kid
>>64236005>how useful would they be?If you install a camera in your home they will be very useful, providing a very comedic video of you getting killed by a intruder with a gun as you austically try to defend yourself with nunchucks. So I say go for it, buddy.
>>64236005Not very useful, get a sword about the length of a Roman Gladius instead. Or if you live in a spacious house, get a claymore instead and see if there's a HEMA training club around so you can learn how to use it.
>>64236172Someone post a few videos of how fast a knife changes a fight. Get the kid out of here and puking into his mothers toilet bowl.
>>64236128>Literal underageb& crying because he wants to larp in his dad's suburb house with children's toys and everyone made fun of himGo mow the lawn and do your homework bitch
>>64236005More useful than an empty hand, less useful than a sharp knife
WACHAA
>>64236005practice using it like a flail rather than as nunchaku. it'll be way easier and as effective against your average intruder.
>>64236005They require consistent training and are inferior to other flexible weapons in terms of range and technique, but are still better than nothing if you've practiced enough to not hit yourself. .
>>64236181Thanks for the bump queerboy.>Get the kid out of here and puking into his mothers toilet bowl.ESL fuckwit
>>64236005Not useful in narrow spaces imo, you're better off using a hammer assuming you can't use a gun for home defence. Plus you dont have much energy generated although it will hurt a lot>>64236110If you are hitting yourself in the head with nunchucks you have 0 motor skills and coordination
>>64236005get rid of the chain, connect with rope, much quieter. Very dangerous, very effective. Don't waste your time watching retarded vids waiving them all over, use one hand ed and take advantage of the whipping action to generate very high speed to strike the head/face, throat, back knees with the free end. That is why they are outlawed in so many places.
>>64237550>Not useful in narrow spaces imovery useful in narrow spaces, you can generate great energy whipping the free end into someone's face.
>>64237862Did you know that the speed at which you can accelerate an object on a chain is ALWAYS slower than the speed you can swing your arm at?The only caveat is the possibility of multiple rotations storing energy, but even then they can only go so fast as the energy you're able to impart minus the coefficient of friction times times the velocity.TL;DR a stick of similar length hits harder than a nun-chuk, 100% of the time
don't listen to these fools watch proper instruction videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxqcpPxW5EQ
>>64237879>object on a chain is ALWAYS slower than the speed you can swing your arm atyou my fren are actually retarded. Take stick six feet long, take a whip six feet long, the speed of end of the whip when whipped if many times faster than the speed at the end of the stock when swung. Then of the whip makes the cracking sound because the velocity exceeds the speed of sound and breaks the sound barrier. The reason the nunchucks are split is to make easy to fold and carry and to be able whip the free end to generate exceptional energy at close distances. all that fancy swinging and dancing is the "art" which is useless.
>>64237865Try doing it a hallway thats 1 metre wide
>>64236005Just use a hammer
Blunt weapons suck at stopping an alert attacker that wants you to take a dirt nap. Get a sword.
>>64237879wow this is literally the dumbest post I've ever seen on /k/ and it's not even close. 40IQ detected.
>>64237922Whips work like that because relative to the handle the tip has to travel an extremely long distance following the sine wave along it's length when properly flung which is what imparts so much velocity. The tip of the whip also has almost no mass which means that while it makes a lound noise and can inflict pain and superficial wounds it's fucking worthless for combat. The stick meanwhile doesn't have as much velocity because it's straight angular momentum, however it has a shitload more mass and still has a higher velocity at the tip relative to the handle. Big sticks have been used since humans figured out they could do things besides throw rocks.>>64238714You dropped your crown king.>>64236005It's a modified rice flail used by peasants who weren't allowed to own swords. It's not some magical ancient weapon that stuck around because it's effective, it's hollywood and a few extremely specialized martial artists. If you want to train with them practice shoving them up your ass because that's what's going to happen if you actually try and use them. Get a "historic" warclub if you can't own real weapons, there's a reason a stick with a heavy end pops up everywhere in human history and nunchuks and other "ninja" weapons only appear during the Sengoku period and Tokugawa shogunate in Japan.
When will the misconception that nunchucks, a kung fu weapon, are associated with ninjas be cleared up?
>>64236005Is your name Boris can you dodge bullets
>>64238714It's literally this simple, my dude
>>64236280So why did ninjas and shit bother with them?
>>64238952If half your body is covered in a bony carapace it makes a lot more sense as a weapon.
>>64238936>>64237922Also forgot to mention that if you have a nun-chuk that is split directly down the middle, whatever you would be hitting would be hit with half of the mass of a stick of equal total length.So not only is the tip of the nun-chuk moving slower than the tip of the stick, but it is hitting with less mass than the stick.Stick wins, flawless victory.
>>64237879Obvious sign of a nerd. They don't don't talk about why a weapon is bad from a tactics or martial standpoint. It's always uhhh ackshually *spurts physics autism everywhere*.
>>64238698A sword would've been equally as useless in the hands of a pasty antifa numale who's never been in a fight. It's not the weapons' fault that the owner has a skill issue.
>>64239026>pfft you didn't mention tactical considerations therefore all your completely valid and true points about how the laws of reality make it inferior are invalidHere's a few reasons, it's more difficult to use and requires vastly more training, it's derived from a peasant tool and only existed because it was easy to hide in plain sight, the only benefit the chain offers is the ability to block a sword blow, and it requires being much closer to your opponent than a solid club of similar mass. There. There's your tactical arguments you fucking pendantic retard.
>>64239028What is green shirt supposed to be wielding there?Blunt weapons still suck IMO.
>>64239045>it's derived from a peasant toolEvery single non-gunpowder weapon in existence is derived from a peasant tool.
>>64239052Green has a knife.>bat boyonce again, skill issue
Just buy guns. There isn't a personal protection problem that can't be solved with guns and the proper application thereof.
>>64239065>Skill issueImagine grabbing that bat when it's a sword. Swords can't be grabbed without fucking your hands up. Swords are a superior melee weapon, compared to bats.
>>64239087>Swords can't be grabbed without fucking your hands upThat's where you're wrong, kiddo.
>>64236005Nunchakus are a fucking meme. You'd be better off just grabbing a focking stick off the ground, 'cause the stick at least transfers the force properly, unlike nunchakus which transfer only part of the force to the attacker and the rest back at you. Just get a baton, or a long knife. And if you live in normal country just get a gun, it's miles better than anything else.
>>64239093That's not the same as wrestling a sword from an opponent. Bladed weapons are more dangerous than blunt weapons.
>>64236128>nice cityURBUS DELENDA EST you noguns faggot. The city is the enemy.
>>64238952Did they, or are they actually Chinese, Okinawan, and Filipino?
>>64236005If you insist on having some Bruce Lee wushu shaolin shadow dungeon moves to pull on a potential home invader, get a staff. Or quarterstaff. Does everything nunchaku do but better. It'll also keep any knife wielding knaves out of stabbing range. You'll probably just get shot tho. Used handguns usually go for just under $250 in my area so save a check and you should be able to afford one, even working a wage-cuck job.
>>64236005I got some see through ones with bruce lee etched into them when i was younger. Smashed myself over the head with them and nearly knocked myself out. 0/10 look cool but unless you know how to use them you're more likely to injure yourself.
>>64238977how did you become so retarded. Its impressive.
>>64236005Don't listen to them, CTE is worth it.
>>64236005You get a bit of a punchy snap but realistically, it's a bad flail. Training might get you in shape but it's useless and stupid.You can beat a faggot to death with anything, just there are better things. I suggest attaching a weight to wire then making a handle.You'll be so fucked in court.On the other hand for yard work they are good for grabbing bundles of sticks, not making a joke even when it's funny.
>>64241757That is, of course, assuming a chain length of zero mm. It would be less than half.
>>64240899No it just wasn't used a lot or well through all time, it's a failure like the chinese people.
>>64236005Put them up your butt
>>64239116Power cord tq time
>>64239059Except for swords (the first pure weapon in history), spears (evolutions of hunting tools), warclubs (bashing shit with a stick is very effective to make it stop moving). Even neolithic cultures independently developed variations on at least one, usually the warclub because shaping and fire hardening wood is one of the oldest skills humanity learned. Mahiucatl were a warclub/sword hybrid. Atl-atl and throwing spears or dedicated heavy spears can be found in the history of every human group to have existed.You know what was found in one very specific geographic region for one very short and specific period of time? That's right, modified rice flails derived from farm workers tools. Stop being a faggot.
>>64241919>Except for swords (the first pure weapon in history)Evolved from machetes used by peasants.>spears (evolutions of hunting tools)You think peasants never used hunting tools?>warclubs (bashing shit with a stick is very effective to make it stop moving)Also used by peasants.
>>64241919>You know what was found in one very specific geographic region for one very short and specific period of time? That's right, modified rice flailsNunchucks may be bullshit, but weaponized flails were quite common everywhere and shouldn't be lumped in with them.
>>64236005Stick > broken stick held together with a chain
>>64236005I had a similar thought about swords. But then I remembered I'm American and bought guns.
bump for jackie chan
>>64236005Buy two pairs. Use one pair to choke the intruder and the other pair to stick it up his ass. With luck, he might even pay you for the service.
>>64236005I like blackjacks better.
>>64248556They're literally just chode clubs. Completely ineffective against anyone but the most unaware person who is facing away from you. You can just punch them in the base of the skull to get the exact same effect as cracking their crown.
>>64236005just but a garrote and make yourself the quickest garrote strangler in the west. nobody will ever even see it coming considering they won't figure out what it's for before they're life is being ended. everybody knows what nunchuks do thanks to those damned turtles.
>>64236005>original nunchakus
>>64248797>Completely ineffective against anyone but the most unaware person who is facing away from youconfirmed for too young to have ever used one because they've been banned since before he was born
>>64239116>That's not the same as wrestling a sword from an opponentWhich was done by people grabbing the blade.
>>64239087Imagine grabbing that ba-ACK
>>64253209That's not relevant to them being ineffective. Nunchucks and brass knuckles are also banned. Hitting someone in back of the head with a rock is banned.
>>64253254Knife man just stood there and took took it. He could have been inside the swing if he lunged first.
>>64253310If they were ineffective, people wouldn't have carried them well into the age of reliable automatic handguns.
>>64239116Blunt weapons can incapacitate an opponent faster with less likelihood of killing them.
>>64253310Blackjacks, saps and other weapons like that are different than a club for 2 reasons. First they have a heavy dense weight at the top, and second they have a spring in the handle which crates a whip like motion in the head. That whip combined with the weight exponentially increase their effectiveness. Hit someone in the arm with a stick it would cause damage but might not break a bone, hit them with a blackjack with the same force and it will most likely break bone.
>>64253316They are ineffective, except against unaware people being struck from behind. Just punch them, or do a choke. >>64253337>canKeyword. Blades are often better.
>>64253345It's not a whip. Whips work by having a completely flexible body that starts thick and narrows towards the tip. This makes waves at the thick end speed up as they reach the tip. The spring or flex in a blackjack is so you don't feel the impact in your hand as much. Try hitting a wall with a bat and your hands will hate you for it. Ultimately the spring weakens the blow compared to a ridged club of equal weighting.
as long as you can bring the mothafuckin ruckus it should be alright
