The Nunchaku was made famous by Bruce Lee and his movies.  It is a swinging weapon that requires a lot of practice and expertise to master and actually use.  Without training, you'll just end up hurting yourself.  Try striking a heavy bag with a pair of nunchakus and see what happens.  You'll probably have it swinging right back at you striking you where it hurts most. 

Nunchakus (also known as "nunchucks") were used because they could be adapted for many situations. Aside from being easy to carry, the nunchakus were used to defend against most any weapon from a bo to a sword. By trapping the blade of a sword with the chain between the two sticks, a Ninja could entangle and disarm a sword-wielding attacker. The same concept applies to almost every other weapon. The nunchakus were not just used for defense, they could also be effectively employed against an enemy in an offensive way. The Ninja could strangle an opponent or even execute joint locks with the chain or cord between the two sticks.
