Brief history of nunchaku


Remember, nunchucks were being used by Bruce Lee in his movies during a fight? That should ring a bell! Many weapons that are widely used today come with a unique and fascinating history. Their history not only indicates the significance of these weapons but also leave us in awe of smart solutions that ancient people came up with. However, nunchaku which is an amazing weapon used in martial arts and for self defense has an inspiring story behind too.

Nunchaku was earlier (almost near 9-10th century) used by Chinese farmers for agriculture. Originally, the nunchucks were 2 wooden sticks tied with horse hair. Farmers used it for cutting soy, rice, and wheat. In the middle of the 10th century, the first emperor of the Chinese Sung dynasty named as Jiu Hong Jun stayed with his army in a village to prepare for a battle to beat the Mongolians. While on Jiu’s stay, his soldiers helped the farmers as the army, general and emperor were an occupant on their nearby territory for a short while (few months). When the emperor paid a visit to the soldiers to see if they were working well, he noticed farmers using nunchucks, he thought of using them in the battle against Mongolians.

The emperor borrowed the nunchucks and settled in his tent, after a few days he showed up with 18 unique techniques of usage. He commanded the army to use the knowledge of those techniques in the battle, and guess what? They won the battle by beating the Mongolians and occupying their land. The nunchaku then became popular among the people for the purpose of self defense and is widely used even now.
