I'm really interested in hearing some real-life accounts of persons employing nunchaku against various threats.

I would take them as second-choice non-firearm weapons, a distant second from a staff/bo. That's because I personally am a bit inept at coordinating the 'chucks with my other four personal weapons (two feet, one hand and the blockhead

).

The observation about hitting the opponent's weapon vs. the opponent's weapon platform are quite well taken. Seems like a bit of practice is in order to prevent the "weapons effect" from distracting you from better target options.

In a match I very neatly center-punched the target's "weapon" with the first shot, IIRC. The other tap of the double was a nice A-zone hit. But the way I sometimes flinch, it could have been the second shot.

Can't remember...
