Shop nunchucks for karate, kobudo, and martial arts training at Martial Imports — foam, wood, and metal nunchaku in youth and adult sizes with cord or chain connectors, for kata, demonstration, and coordination training.

Nunchaku are one of the six primary weapons in Okinawan kobudo, alongside the bo, sai, tonfa, kama, and eku. Nunchaku kata are performed at WKF karate competition in the kobudo weapons division, and nunchaku are required or elective weapons in many traditional karate curricula. The training develops hand speed, coordination, and the rhythm of weapon transitions — skills that transfer to empty-hand striking patterns.

Foam nunchaku are the standard choice for beginners and practice at speed — safe for self-contact and accidental impacts during learning. Wooden nunchaku are the traditional training tool. Chain-connected nunchaku have a different swing rhythm than cord-connected; most competition kata use cord connectors for more predictable arc control. Available in youth and adult sizes.
