I always use my own DIY nunchakus, but i wanted to do a review on most popular nunchaku i have; cocobolo chuck from woodall's, prochux and also chinese nunchaku.
Remember this is just a personal opinion.
Here is a short video where i show just a simple freestyle with them.
Just to add something consistant about what i will write about them.
These three chucks are very different, mainly about the length of their cord/chain.
Everyone have is own preferences but i think sometimes, it's good to spin something else. It can even help to discover new moves, combo or just another way to do a move.
COCOBOLO nunchaku (www.customworkshop.biz)This nunchaku is my WC2011 prize. They are the best wood nunchaku i have.
I know the prize of their nunchaku can be expensive, but their quality is very good!
They are very well balanced, beautiful and resistant.
Of course Woodall's can make you a nunchaku as you want, so i have nothing wrong to tell on them.
They deserve a try
Prochuxx "Thrasher" (www.prochux.com)This nunchaku is a prize i had from the WC2010.
I'm not very experienced with prochux, but they are my own favorite nunchaku for self-defense. They can be really fast.
I have some problem to freestyle with them, cause i'm used to have a long cord/chain, but you can see at Mike for exemple or of course Lee Barden.
I have also just a Thrasher version of prochux, so i can have a real opinion about prochux.
But what i can say is, they are cool but different. Everyone interested should give a try, Thrasher version aren't very expensive and christmass is soon
Chinese nunchaku (www.nunchakumall.com)Like prochux, they are also different. Their chain are very long and these nunchaku are balanced otherwise.
Their balance are perfect for wrist rolls and can be very fast.
I'm a big fan of chinese style and like a lot these nunchaku. They are noisy and it can be a problem sometimes but i like this sound.
They aren't very expensive if you don't count the prize of the sending from China. Like prochux, they deserve a try.
