I've had these for years and I use them to practice with they are the lightst i own and if it came down to combat they would be the ones I use. however since my nunchuku style is more about landing precise and heavy blows i find these easy to use. the directional changes are fluid and and natral. i like them a lot and if i was to pick a pair for someone it would be these.   Permalink

After practicing with my red oak nunchaku, I found that these are incredibly lightweight; I thought these would break pretty easily but I know they're made of rattan so they wont. The reason why I gave them 4 stars was because I found that the enamel tends to chip easily around the burn marks. Other than that, these nunchaku are awesome.  Permalink

Got these today. Bought on others recommendations on this site. They weren't as pretty as the picture, no clearcoat and burn pattern isn't the same but they are very light and very fast. Good for practice but misleading because my favorite pair is heavier and smoother. I would recommend for beginners or for trying new moves because they don't hurt when you mess up and you can slow/ stop them quickly.  Permalink

I ordered a pair of these a couple of weeks ago, and they have a few problems (at least my pair does...)


1. Mine were weighted differently! I even checked out the weight on a scale, and they were different. This is a major problem, -2 stars.


2. The rattan wood this pair uses is sub-par. After just a couple of days, the sticks had huge chunks missing from them, because of the wood peeling. -1/2 star


3. Ball bearings wear out fast, they were sticking when I first got them, even when I repaired them a bit with lube and securing them, they still were slower compared to other pairs I have. -1/2 star.  Permalink

These are not bad for practice, the bearings are very smooth and allow for impressive speed and control without excessive noise. The wood could have been fitted to the coupler a little better in order to bring the appearance up to the level of the utility. Overall a good investment in practice gear.  Permalink

The story about me coming to order these was while practicing I broke a bearing on the set that I was using...but they were fading anyway...so instead of buying a bearing repair set, I ordered these. I was skeptical about ordering these because I really like my old pair. These are 100% unbelievable. They are fast and light and better then any pair that I can remember using. BUY THIS NOW! is all I can say. 5 stars!  Permalink

These are a really nice pair of chucks. Very fast and evenly balanced.  Permalink

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.  Permalink

This is one great pair! I can personally guarantee you that you will not be disappointed! Buy now!  Permalink

Great pair to practice with.

An excellent pair, exceptional load of power, with an explosive delivery. When my kids start acting up I simply pull them out and they remember, hey... my dad is a ninja I better cut it out. These are not only useful for child rearing but they also let law enforcement officials know three things. First, I probably should not pull this guy over he is an armed ninja, secondly that the driver is capable of deflecting a tazer barb, and third if I want to walk away from this it would be best to avoid the altercation at all cost. I find that I have an overwhelming urge to smack things now that I have these nunchucks. I also find that my "God Complex" is growing and I soon may have the power to take over the world with one strike of my mighty chucks. When discussing fear I am not helpful in the conversation. I know no fear especially now that I am armed and dangerous. These chucks will empower anyone. I highly recommend that anyone who feels weak, helpless, or lonely get a pair so that they may enjoy the comfort and companionship I feel when I strike blows with my mighty mighty chucks. Buy 8 pairs of these, hand them to Vishnu, and dance with the devil in the pale moon light because brother you have the power if you have the chucks. God bless.  Permalink
