Pros and Cons of Rope Nunchaku

So, you want to buy a new chuck, but you don’t know which one to buy, a nunchaku with a chain as link or with a cord as link. Now we will examine the cord nunchaku, with his good stuff and with the wrong ones (the little letter you never read when you are buying a nunchaku!).

Before you begin reading, I do not support a special kind of nunchaku, I believe that a nunchaku is like a glove, and that every person should find the one that fits them better, so I will be very critical, and that doesn’t means that I love or hate a certain nunchaku!

Pros About the Cord Nunchaku:

  • They don’t make too much noise, you can swing them without all your neighbors knowing you are using your nunchakus
  • They tend to be lighter (it will depend of the wood, but generally speaking, they’re lighter)
  • You will notice if they will start to break… with chain they can break with no warning.
  • They look a lot better than chain!
  • You can adjust the length of the rope, for your needs
  • They look more classic than chain nunchakus
  • It is very easy to change the rope.
  • You can tie them with different methods.
Cons About the Cord Nunchaku:
  • The rope fries very easy
  • The weight in the top is lighter than the chain nunchaku
  • The rope last a lot less than a chain
  • They can break with a high pressure trap.
  • They look more like toys rather than a real nunchaku
  • The ninja turtles used chain, how dare you use rope!
  • What is the use of having a nunchaku if they don’t look like a real one?
