Safe Foam Rubber Training

Edit: Tip regarding chain; you might experiment withziptying link 3 from each side together, this effectivelyshortens the chain by on link, the typical distance betweenhandles on a standard 7 link chain is 5.5'', shortening thisset will align it with 'that' standard and might make the seteasier to use for you, there are other chain links of course, but 5.5''distance from top of bell cap to bell capis absolutely perfect for some uses and many users.-I wanted to be fair about these nunchakus (orig spell) , once I decidedto write this review so in fairness to the intentions of thedesign, I go with the 5 stars.If you look at what amazon has available here in the genreof nunchcucks , all of the sets sold are intended to be fairlysafe for children, there are no 'real' nunchucks sold here, Iunderstand their reasons, but they should sell 'real sets' aswell, with a safety disclaimer imv.These are a 'learner set' , they are sized very similarly to a 'real'set, but they won't be nearly as injurious to the user as a'real' set, that is what they were likely going for, and they dida really good job of that.These have bearings, which enhances the performance, they arevery light compared to wood nunchucks, but not that much lighterthan Rattan, so you can actually do a lot of cool spinning trickswith these, and really learn the basics of nunchucks.I destroyed mine the first day, repaired , repeat, and on and on, but I wasbeating them as if they might be a real pair.You could break or hurt your hands, knees, head etc, with a real pair,when new to this hobby, as the handles on the other end of the chain,come back at you unpredictably until you learn how they react to strikes,and learn to strike in a way that for the most part , they don't comeback and hurt you. You can also get hurt just doing 'katas' or freestylespins and tricks.The center of the handle is very light gauge plastic, that is what breaksif you hit targets hard with these (which I did), they are about 3/4'' OD, I had some 3/4'' SCH40 irrigation/water piping at home so was ableto slip that over the plastic , duct tape it together, then use wd40 tolube it up and slide the exterior rubber handles back on, I had to roundoff the edge of the pvc pipe at the end so the rubber didn't catch andtear on it. I repaired mine many times over the course of a few days,then ordered some standard pairs and graduated to them.I saved myself a lot of injuries by starting with this set of nunchucks, thatis partly why I can't fault them and ding them with less than5 stars, because these like any sold here at amzn , aren't intended tobe the real deal, they are close enough to standard nunchucks so thatthe transition to them is pretty seamless. You can really learn the basicswith these, and then step up to the standards; typically made of rattan,which is a little heavier, or wood, heavier still, aluminum, stainless, whatevermaterial you prefer. A standard set is often 6 or 7 link (5.5'') chain, withapprox 12'' handles, giving an overall length of about 30'', once your holdingthem the reach become about 25 or so inches which is a similar reachto Kali sticks. Rattan nuns, can be approx 5 or 6 oz per handle , wood about 8 to 9 oz, you'd have to double check my weight figures, I'm going by memory, also note,that you don't have to have 12'' handles , that is just the typical size, and somecome with 3 link chain , not 7'', Bruce Lee sometimes used a 9 link, I don'tthink they had bearings back then either. Today many of the standard nunswill come with bearings, not all though, some will not comewith bearings, a matter of preference of the user.

These nunchucks are wonderful for kids who want to practice their martial arts moves and not get hurt. The dragon design is a fun touch, although it makes the nunchucks clearly look toy-like. The foam material is durable and sturdy, but still soft enough for hits and slip ups. We liked the longer chain as you can look cool by hanging the nunchucks behind your neck. Overall this was a fun purchase at a good price.

These are perfect for my grandsons to practice and play with. They are well made and have a good feel.

Fun and made well kind.

Great product

These nunchucks are very fun! Even though they are soft, watch out for the speedy strikes, they hurt.. Overall, they are amazing!
