Nunchaku

Nunchaku (ヌンチャク nunchaku?) is a traditional Okinawan weapon consisting of two sticks connected at one end with a short chain or rope. In modern times the nunchaku were popularized by Bruce Lee in his movies.

 Parts:
 Himo: the rope which connects the two handles of some nunchaku.
 Kusari: the chain which connects the two handles of some nunchaku.
 Kontoh: the top of each handle is called the kontoh and if there is a hole for rope to go through that is called the ana.
 Ana: the hole on the kontoh of each handle for the himo to pass through, only nunchaku that are connected by himo have an ana.
 Jukon-bu: the upper area of the handle.
 Chukon-bu: the center part of the handle.
 Kikon-bu: the lower part of the handle.
 Kontei: the bottom of the handles.[9]
