Nunchaku

The Nunchaku was made famous by Bruce Lee and his movies. It is a swinging weapon that requires a lot of practice and expertise to master and actually use. Without training, you'll just end up hurting yourself. Try striking a heavy bag with a pair of nunchakus and see what happens. You'll probably have it swinging right back at you striking you where it hurts most.

Nunchakus (also known as "nunchucks") were used because they could be adapted for many situations. Aside from being easy to carry, the nunchakus were used to defend against most any weapon from a bo to a sword. By trapping the blade of a sword with the chain between the two sticks, a Ninja could entangle and disarm a sword-wielding attacker. The same concept applies to almost every other weapon. The nunchakus were not just used for defense, they could also be effectively employed against an enemy in an offensive way. The Ninja could strangle an opponent or even execute joint locks with the chain or cord between the two sticks.

Nunchaku - Originally this was a wooden flail used to crush rice and consisted of two unequal lengths of hardwood connected by a cord made of horse hair. The modern Nunchaku have octagonal (hakkakukei) or round (maru-gata) wooden handles of equal length connected by a length of rope or chain. A vine (kanda) can also be used as a longer connector, in order to bind an opponent's head and hands together in an "Okinawan Handcuff." Matayoshi Kobudo instruction includes nunchaku with one handle half the length of the other, both handles half the normal size, three-sectioned and four-sectioned. The han-kei nunchaku, with the circumference of the handles halved, is designed for easier carrying and concealment, as both handles fit together smoothly The Nunchaku can be wielded with tremendous velocity in striking and are also valuable in parrying attacks from other weapons.

Nunchucks History: Warlords ruled in the ancient orient and after they banned the use of such weapons as the gun, sword, and spear, the public turned to Karate and Kobu-Do for protection. The use of Nunchaku also grew. The art of stick fighting with Nunchakus, has lasted through centuries and is today practiced by people throughout the world. No longer used as a weapon substitute due to a lack of weapons, Nunchakus have stood the test of time due to their effectiveness, lightweightness and affordability! Nunchucks: Nunchakus have a unique and interesting background. They were believed to have personalities emanating from the actual sticks themselves. Oriental tradition says that after you have practiced long enough and hard enough, the Nunchakus you use will take on some of your spirit and character. Your nunchucks, it is believed, are becoming a part of you. But this is not an overnight process! It takes countless hours of practice and perfection to reach this point. Type of Nunchucks: The designs and styles of Nunchaku are just as long and colorful as their history! Used as self-defense weapons, and also for training and learning, Nunchakus were first bought to the attention of the western world when they were popularized by the immortal Bruce Lee. After Lee helped to propel this simple weapon into the spotlight, it went on to become a weapon of choice by many people, especially martial artists. Various sizes, materials and colors can be found. Most Nunchakus are made of metal, plastic or wood and are attached by a chain or a rope. Surprisingly, as small and lightweight as this weapon is, it is a powerful one.

Pair of Chromed Full Metal Sai`s. 15 inches

These are chrome plated and measure 21 inches long with leather wrapped handles.
The sai are a peasant weapon used in Okinawa. The Sai should be as long as your elbow to thumb crotch. This karate weapon was first used as a farm tool and later to fight against Samurais and their deadly swords.

It is difficult to tell the many uses of the Okinawan Sai and Modern Jutte. Some of the common uses are to flip it out and strike your enemy, block swords, strike with more power forward with a punch, or backward with an elbow. The sai and jutte were also both used to trap and disarm swordsmen.

Originally the Sai were used to measure the distance between seeds in a crop. The Sai was poked into the ground and because of the forked shape it would leave three holes. When it was poked again, the farmer would line up the first and last hole and thus have an evenly spaced crop. After months and years of poking with this tool and flipping, resting, etc. a person could become quite proficient in putting the small point of

this karate weapon exactly where he wanted it.

NAGINATA

A pole arm with a single, curved blade on one end, is employed with sweeping, circular motions and, as an extension of the wielder, channels energy in a harmonious display of beauty and precision. The Naginata is a weapon with a rich history, utilized and refined from the Nara Period (710-784 A.D.) to today. Employed initially by the Bushi, it later found itself the specific weapon of the Sohei or Buddhist monks. It is the school of the spear and, as such, is a shafted weapon. The length of its oval shaft varied, from 5' to 8', depending on battle conditions and personal requests. The most striking feature, however, was the blade; it could be anywhere from 10 inches to more than 2 feet, and was sharpened on a single side, fashioned in the manner of either Sakizori or Uchizori. As with most shafted weapons, it was most devastating when utilizing sweeping, circular motions. However, thrusts with the blade and also the heavy Ishizuki on the butt end were acceptable tactical alternatives.

The naginata was a common polearm used throughout Japanese history. The forging, construction and polishing is similar to that of the Japanese sword. Naginata have poles of approximately 6 feet (2 meters) in length. While naginata were used by samurai, the traditional use of the naginata was by samurai women in defending the castle during the absence of the men.

Early naginata were large with blade lengths from 1 foot to approximately 2.5 feet, highly curved with much "sori" and were quite wide. Later naginata tend to be both shorter, smaller and have less sori. Naginata may or may not be signed by the maker on nagako (tang). Not all naginata will have the pole wrapped (san-dan-maki), but all will have some type of pole reinforcement, commonly brass or copper collars and rings (semegane). The poles were normally lacquered and some may be inlayed with mother-of-pearl chips. Naginata blades were occassionally cut down, reshaped and repolished to make shobu-zukuri or unokubi-zukuri style wakizashi. Tsuba on naginata are normally very small, being essentially the same diameter as the seppa. However, some naginata had tsuba of the same size and design as those found on swords. The nakago of a naginata is secured into the pole by a single mekugi (peg), although some nakago will have two nakago-ana.
