Black Poisonwood Straight U Swivel Nunchaku

Introducing the first prototype of the Brazilian Black Poison wood nunchaku is a round U swivel.  When a new exotic hardwood enters the shop we start off with the basics and then move to the complex chain nunchaku.  The Black Poisonwood Straight U Swivel is round 12″ nunchaku featuring the U swivel Chain link system.

The Black Poisonwood Straight U Swivel Nunchaku is a new hardwood in the shop this summer.  Also known as CheChen or Caribbean Rosewood.  This rosewood is very much like the Iron wood (lignum Vital)  With Cocobolo becoming harder and harder to find this is great replacement.  It’s heavier than cocobolo and has a soft warm feel.  It’s a dense tropical hardwood with rich brown and green colors.  Each nunchaku is hand cut , sanded and oiled.  Like all of our nunchaku each of one of kind made one at a time.   All are 100% made, sold and shipped in the United States.

Traditional Nunchaku Design

Unlike mass produced martial arts weapons made overseas, we designed our Black Poisonwood Straight U Swivel Nunchaku to be easy to hold, not get sticky and give you confidence as you practice your forms.  Originally the nunchaku was designed from farming tools in China.  Occupied Chinese were not allowed to have weapons and a whole range of new weapons sprung from the tools at hand.  Our nunchaku are not mass produced, each one is made one at a time.  We use exotic hardwoods and try to get every inch of wood used in our product.  Some of these woods are hard to find in usable sizes so we take great care to get the most out of each piece.  The design is to last and be durable.

  • Unlike polypropylene, wood feels great allowing martial artists to practice as much as they like
  • Round Shape with a tapered Cap head.
  • heavyweight and durable
