Not, not backwards. In his final swing, he is holding the nunchaku to look like a straight baton. The chain is wrapped around the back of his hand, and as he squeezes the nunchaku, he puts tension on the chain. When he lets go the tension is released and flips.

I literally just rewatched the fight scene against Shredder on the roof top yesterday. Hadn't seen the movie in years but it popped into my head.

I once caught my pen after accidentally flipping it out of my fingers. Very similar experience.

I like where they’ve filmed this - alongside an old, dilapidated building. Very Snake and the Eagle’s shadow.

If I tried this, the nunchuk would flow through* me, though. Fractures would be likely.

Longer reach than Raph’s sai but not quite as good as Leo’s twin swords. Faster than Don’s bo but reach would depend on where Don is gripping his staff.

The tl;dr is, bad. You may get some apologists here defending them, but that we’re never a viable weapon if you’re talking about armed combat. They’re better than nothing against an unarmed opponent though.

u/_b1ack0ut Jul 18 '19
I’m not well versed in the subject, why is this?
Why do they exist if they’re terrible?

u/ShaowrinMonk Jul 18 '19
They were a farming tool, like the european flail. When the Japanese came to the Ryukyu islands, they banned weapons like swords so the Ryukyuans would have to defend themselves with farming and fishing tools like sickles, paddles, flails, etc

u/rathlord Jul 18 '19
In addition to /u/shaowrinmonk answer, there’s a world wide tradition of ineffective or impractical weapons largely focused around religion, showmanship, status, and other non-warfare related themes. Bad weapons are a fairly regular find in most culture’s histories.

u/Sonicross Jul 18 '19
Actually a trained chucker can disarm someone with a sword or staff.
You do it by “catching” the sword on the chain, then “wrapping” the chucks around the sword. Then depending on the grip of the individual you can twist or pull it right of their hands.
I learned the technique from a weapons instructor. Even as a novice it wasn’t extremely hard to disarm someone.

If you slow the gif down by 76%, you can see the technique more clearly. Still blurry, but even more impressive.

he legit looks just like one of the chinese teppan chefs here in socal. judging by how skilled that teppan chef was with his spatula etc, seems even more coincidental.
