How long should nunchuck handles be?
One of the factors to consider when picking out nunchaku is the length of the connecting rope, chain, or cord. This part should never be longer than the width of your palm in order to protect your own safety. Find the proper length by dangling the nunchaku from your wrist with your palm face down.
Are nunchucks lethal?
Nunchucks can cause broken bones, cuts, concussions, and eye and nose injuries. A nunchuck is engineered so that it can be used as a fulcrum: the assailant holds one stick while attacking with the other stick that is attached to the first one. As a result, serious, non-fatal nunchuck injuries often happen.
Is it hard to learn nunchaku?
Short answer: VERY CAREFULLY. Long answer: It does matter if you are learning nunchaku to do tricking, or to actually use them like a real weapon. You can tell which is which by how many spins and behind the back passes and rolls and whatnot they’re doing.
How many links should nunchaku chain?

Are nunchucks or ropes better for chains?
The chains are far better to use when trying out tricks and spins that wrap around the body. They do require more length than the rope, and if you put too much length of chain between them you have to shorten up the nunchaku which then moves us into the speed chuck.
