Nunchaku, more commonly known as the "nunchucks", is a traditional East Asian [[weapon]] that consists of two sticks connected at their ends with a short chain or rope. While often associated with Chinese and Okinawan martial arts, most long chained and small handle nunchaku were actually created in the Philippines, where they are called [b]Tabak-Toyok[/b] and are commonly known as [b]Chako[/b]. The Chako is often used as a street weapon in brawls. The smaller size of the Tabak-Toyok allows for easy concealment and everyday carry. The weapon is best used at long-range. This small handle type of nunchaku is more often used for quick and multiple strikes than grips or holds (like its Chinese and Japanese counterparts), and was popularized by [[Bruce Lee]] after he was introduced to them by his Flilipino fellow martial artist and friend, Dan Inosanto. h4.
