Question

i mean,

is it like a stand alone martial art or like an accesory to a martial art ?

-i was born nov.12.1989

Answer 1

i'm not a nunchaku expert, but I believe that there is not a standalone nunchaku art similar to kenjutsu. however most japanese arts that teach weapons use the nunchaku.  

Answer 2

its a weapon used in martial arts like karate. its a pretty cool weapon once you have mastered it.

Answer 3

No, it's a weapon... Why does it matter when you were born? I was born Feb. 25, 1993 you've got 4 year on me, get with the program and learn a martial art or two... or 10.

Answer 4

It's an accessory, their pronounced nunchakus.

Answer 5

it's not a martial art. many styles of martial arts teach the techniques and forms such as k*k sool won,tae kwon do,and most external and southern systems of chinese martial arts. many old-school masters will describe as an art in and of itself because it takes a "lifetime" to master and you have to respect it to control it, fear it and it controls you. you should also check out the 3section staff/sansetsukon, and the 2section staff.  

Answer 6

no it is not

Answer 7

it's like an accessory. originally, the nunchuks were usedto bang drums in Japan, but until the Samurai banned the people of Japan including Okinawa (yes i kno, its part of Japan) from having weapons, they had to use what they had left for weapons that weren't originally used as weapons. So if you were a drummer back then, you didn't realize how much of a badass you would be with those sticks, lol
