Traditional Chinese Straight Octagon Nunchaku

This is the original nunchaku shape from the beginnings of the use of the weapon in ancient China.  The straight octagon nunchaku shape is also the preferred choice for most traditional style schools in the martial arts as the straight edge makes for an easy and crisp snap while doing katas and forms. These come in most all of our different wood choices. They are a straight octagon shape, all hand cut, sanded, oiled, and strung.

Some smaller faster sets with the slang name "chucks"

Many people ask for sizes other than a 12" nunchaku. We have made shorter and longer lengths as well as smaller width sizes for smaller hands, woman and children. Slim cut nunchaku have a width of less than 1 inch. Great for people with smaller grips. These tend to be of a lighter weight and fast. Having the correct length and size can make a martial artist find the true fell of their nunchaku.
