Q. While I highly doubt that the one I received was red oak (maybe pine or ash), its nice that is not nearly as heavy since the extended length compared to chux makes it heavier in the swing. the cord is terrible as mentioned in others review, but after restringing it with military para cord it becomes a good starter. I wouldn't ever think of getting these if your very experience b/c its too cheap but if want to pick these up and learn get this good affordable pair.

8" Nunchuck With Grooved Handles
Q. Good little set of chux. Not the fastest, as the name would imply, but the chux are great for training. Many people don't realize that unless your performing an alternative baton twirling (xma), that your Nunchaku are to gripped at the base for maximum striking force. These chux are great for training in that area. The reduced size exchanges the upper part of the handle for more chain. My only complaint would be that they are a little light for my taste, but I prefer the acrylic or solid aluminum pairs if I'm using chain, so that's just personal preference. Not a starter pair, but if you've trained to the point that you've already got you first pair of chained and first pair of corded, then I highly recommend.

Q. I received a replacement sword courtesy of karate depot, who even paid for my return shipping. my new sword is definitely an improvement. though I have not had a chance to practice with it, I can already tell that it is not only more balanced, but, more importantly, much straighter. not perfect blade but flaws so minor, only those familiar with artisan crafted blades will know to look for. I imagine the handle situation will arise again, but I plan in re-tacking my handle anyway, so not a big deal. if you want a first sword to migrate from a bokken, I highly recommend, but only for learning the feel of having a blade, as opposed to broad wood. not for cutting practice or sparring (most definitely not actual combat) this is a good buy for the money, but read the title as 'students, first sword'.

Q. I was expecting the 3 piece staff (totaling 6 feet), but this is just as described a 3 piece NUNCHUCK. That is certainly better for me anyway because if each section were any longer I'd have octagon shaped bruises on my face. Really a fun weapon to use, especially if you enjoy traditional nunchaku. *Please note that the center nunchuck is a slightly different color than the outer two (not shown in the picture). In the two pair that I ordered, one middle chuck was slightly lighter, one was slightly darker. Didn't look bad at all though.

Q. This bo is at least 30 or 40% lighter than the striaght hardwood bo of the same price, making it faster. This might be better for performance (speed) and the straight one for training (strength). This only lost a star because the one I recieved had a few tiny scratches on the ends. No big deal, it'll be getting plenty more from use anyway.

Q. This product is probably the best way to build your speed, technique, and confidence with your nunchaku. Because they are light, they are EXTREMELY fast (if you want them to be) and great for practicing in the house without fear of breaking anything. The perfect way to try out those new moves, double nunchuck techniques, and other things you may not want to try right away with a wooden or metal pair. Also makes a great stocking stuffer for Christmas!

Q. These chucks are the perfect balance of the right weight chain, the right weight sticks and a wonderfully efficient ball bearing system. The weight is perfect which makes these chucks wonderfully fun and fluid to use.
Of all my nunchakus these are my favorite. You may want to tap the surface down with a hammer to make them feel more compact.

Q. Super light and fast, if your looking for a super speed chuck go for these. So light though that they respond much differently than a heavier chuck like the carved dragon. Not a good physics teacher, but quick with their super low weight.

Q. These chucks boast a beautifully ornate dragon that is carved into both sticks, with a red plastic jewel marking the sweet spot. I purchased them because of the design and discovered a few thing along the way. The carvings are pretty but cut deep into the wood, they dig into your hands and are wonderful if your trying to build calluses. The handling is similar to a baseball bat at full speed, the heavy chain shifts the balance off a bit but helps greatly with strength training. Train with this sort and move to something smaller and I think you will be most impressed with your newfound speed.
