How is the Nunchuk’s flex different than other shafts flex?
The main difference WHERE the shaft is bending or flexing. The only possible ‘flex point’ of the Nunchuk™ is in the central area or the shaft. The other two extremities of the shaft, the butt and the tip, are designed to be very rigid to prevent droop, flex and twist in the lever arms. The unique configuration and patented design of the Nunchuk™ allows it to function similar to flail. The two-lever flail has been around for hundreds of years, and is a highly successful tool that is the basis for multiple functions, such in martial arts with the nunchaku.
