nunchaku 双节棍

nun·cha·ku
\ˈnənˌchək, nünˈchäk(ˌ)ü\ noun
(nunchakus or nunchaku)
Etymology: Japanese dialect (Okinawa 冲绳)
: a weapon of Japanese origin made of two hardwood sticks joined at one end by a short length of rawhide, cord, or chain

The nunchaku (/nʌnˈtʃækuː/) (Japanese: ヌンチャク, sometimes "Dual Section Stick", "nunchuks" (/ˈnʌntʃʌks/), "nunchucks", "chainsticks", "chuka sticks" or "karate sticks" in English,) is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks (traditionally made of wood), connected to each other at their ends by a short metal chain or a rope. It is approximately 30 cm(sticks) and 1 inch (rope). A person who has practiced using this weapon is referred to in Japanese as nunchakuka.

The nunchaku is most widely used in martial arts such as Okinawan kobudō and karate. It is intended to be used as a training weapon, since practicing with it enables the development of quick hand movements and improves posture. Modern nunchaku may be made of metal, plastic or fiberglass instead of the traditional wood. Toy versions and replicas not intended to be used as weapons may be made of polystyrene foam or plastic. Possession of this weapon is illegal in some countries, except for use in professional martial arts schools.

The origin of the nunchaku is unclear; a traditional explanation holds that it was originally used by Okinawan farmers as a flail for threshing rice. Another weapon, called the tabak-toyok, native to the northern Philippines, is constructed very similarly, suggesting that it and the nunchaku descended from the same instrument.

In modern times, the nunchaku (Tabak-Toyok) was popularized by the actor and martial artist Bruce Lee and by Dan Inosanto. Lee famously used nunchaku in several scenes in the 1972 film Fist of Fury. When Tadashi Yamashita worked with Bruce Lee on the 1973 film Enter the Dragon, he enabled Lee to further explore the use of the nunchaku and other kobudo disciplines. The nunchaku is also the signature weapon of the cartoon character Michelangelo in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.

In addition the nunchaku is used in certain contact sports.


雙節棍（英語：nunchucks或chainsticks），又称双截棍。早期源於宋太祖发明了双节棍，宋太祖发明的双节棍是现代双节棍的前身。双节棍由兩支中間以短鐵鏈或繩索連在一起的鐵棍或木棍所組成
傳說宋太祖趙匡胤发明大盘龙棍（又称大扫子、长小棒）和小盘龙棍（小扫子）两种，與現在雙節棍不同的地方是大掃子是一長一短，用以長截破盾，與現在雙節棍應用技法上均大異其趣。但從宋代起連枷即成為中原地區的制式武器，但名稱隨地區與朝代不同各有演變，如宋代與西夏的鐵鍊夾棒，元明的馬上鞭棍、鞭棍，一直沿續到清代的虎頭棒、哨子棍等，皆有演練之法。双节棍的英文名称為「Nunchaku」，由琉球语nunchyaku」直譯而來。琉球语「ヌンチャク」（nunchyaku）据说来自于闽南语“兩節棍”的发音“nng-chat-kun”，指长小棒。

由於雙節棍的特殊構造，得以衍生出各種華麗動作，加上攜帶便利，因此現受到很多武術運動愛好者的練習，且常用於武術。

雙節棍真正名揚世界是始於武打明星李小龙，因为在电影中多次使用，許多文献都聲稱他是向菲律宾著名武术家伊诺山度学习雙節棍，但李小龙的女儿李香凝則否认此一说法，並澄清其父的雙節棍功夫全為自学。

法條規範：    雙節棍不屬於中華民國《槍砲彈藥刀械管制條例》規範的武器。
    在《香港法例》中，雙節棍被列入「重力操作鋼棒」類（警用伸縮警棍也屬此類）[4]。
    在中華人民共和國《管制刀具认定标准》中，双截棍不属于被管制的武器。廉价的松木质地双截棍并无攻击性，可作为体育器材。

由棍体和棍链组成，通常一根叫龍棍，另一根叫陽棍，又或叫青棍和白棍。对于单节棍体来说，靠近棍链一端称为内端，另一端为外端。

握法：共分為正握、反握、叠握、垂棍、架棍、夹棍、背棍、藏棍、举棍等。
    正握：虎口朝向棍的内端
    反握：虎口朝向外端称为反握
