The origin of nunchucks, the historical value of nunchucks

Nunchucks originated in China. Ancient nunchucks legend is that nunchucks were founded by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and were originally known as ** dragon sticks (also known as big brooms in modern north) and small pan dragon sticks (small brooms). However, at that time, the dragon stick was shorter at one end and longer at the other end, which was specially used to sweep the enemy's horses, armor-piercing soldiers or hard weapons, so that it lost its combat effectiveness [this kind of nunchucks, one long and one short, are also often called 'tiger tail tips'].

Later, this weapon spread from the south to the Philippines and from the east to Japan. Due to the changes of history, the nunchuck has been changed to its current appearance: the total length is 72 cm, each body is 30 cm, and there is an iron chain or nylon rope in the middle, which is about 12 cm long.

Bruce Lee's nunchucks are this standard 72cm nunchucks, which are different from the traditional large and small dragon sticks.

There is also a theory that nunchucks originated from the "flail" agricultural tools used by farmers in the wheat field in ancient times. It has been proven to have existed in antiquity hundreds of years ago. Since the founding of Mr. Bruce Lee, the king of kung fu, Jeet Kune Do has been known for its strong and fast movements.

Nunchucks are the essence of it. His nunchucks are perfect, they are at their peak, and they are extremely fast. The majestic gesture of wielding nunchucks in the film is still admirable to this day.

Film critics at the time said that just watching Bruce Lee's nunchucks was enough for the ticket price. Since the nunchucks accompanied Bruce Lee's kung fu films, because it is a soft and hard, soft and steel weapon, it has the advantages of being able to collect and release, short and concise, easy to carry, and infinite power in close combat, so it has been widely spread all over the world.

Bruce Lee went to the United States to develop, meet friends with martial arts, and make friends with world fighting masters. Among them, there is a master, known as the "Philippine stick king" Irushandu, this person is good at nunchucks and Philippine short sticks, stick skills are perfect, because of admiration for Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and cast himself under Bruce Lee, dedicated to learning Jeet Kune Do. At the same time, Bruce Lee also learned this nunchucks technique from him, and after some hard practice and painstaking research, he reached a more peak realm.

As long as you have watched his films, you will know that it is not like some traditional "flower shelf" and "troupe" kung fu, but a real magic stunt.

Understanding the history of nunchucks and the development of nunchucks in China is also an important part of learning nunchucks.

**There are two types: China and Japan.

1. Legend has it that nunchucks were founded by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and were originally known as ** dragon stick (also known as big broom in modern north) and small pan dragon stick (small broom). However, at that time, the dragon stick was shorter at one end and longer at the other end, and it was used to sweep the enemy's horses, armor-piercing soldiers or hard weapons, so that it lost its combat effectiveness. Later, this weapon spread from the south to the Philippines and from the east to Japan.

2. The prototype of the nunchuck is an agricultural tool. It was used as a flail or horse chew. In the thirteenth or fourteenth century, many Chinese immigrated to Okinawa (an island near Japan).

They are proficient in a variety of martial arts. One of them is to use one**. They call this kind of ** "nunchuck".

The Japanese are very interested in this martial art. A large number of Japanese people travel to learn this fascinating martial art of self-defense. The Imperial Code technique that was later learned was translated by the Japanese into their name, and the name of ** was changed.

They also changed the shape of the nunchucks, which consisted of two round sticks that had been dismantled and joined together by iron chains. The Japanese used ropes to connect two octagonal sticks to the leads. This type of nunchucks in turn developed different styles.

Nunchucks were founded by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
