What were nunchaku used for?

Answer 1

Nunchakus consist of two pieces of wood or metal linked by a chain or cord. They are also called nunchuks and are commonly used as a weapon in many Martial Arts such as kung-fu and karate.

Some people think the come from a Chinese weapon to trap horses legs, others from a general who cut a staff in two and linked the two parts. Finally, others believe that it came from a tool to separate the grain from the husk that farmers also used as weapon. They weren't allowed to have conventional weapons. The Okinawans had horse bridles that consisted of two pieces of wood connected by a cord. You can still buy them in the curved shape.
