The origin and development history of nunchakus, how to pass it on to the present!
First, the origin of nunchakus

(1) Overview

Nunchaku has a long history, and its evolution process is accompanied by the needs of ancient wars.

The prototype of nunchakus is a sharp stick, which evolved from the flail of threshing farm tools. Flail is used to fight crops, and it has different names in different parts of China. Some places in the south are called Diao forks or carts, and some places in the north are called scraping sticks and rotary stick hammers. As the originator of nunchakus, flail was first born in ancient Egypt, with a history of about 3500 years. China's written records about flail first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago, and later flail appeared in other parts of the world, but it appeared relatively late. The earliest record of the pointed stick can be found in Mozi's The Art of War in the early Warring States Period. Inspired by the flail, Master Mozi invented the Lian Ting, that is, the big end stick, for the need of guarding the city in the war. It is recorded in Mozi's Sixteen Art of War. Mozi? Prepare the gate and Mozi? Prepare to lie down. Mozi? It is planned to list the city gate as one of the main guard equipment, requiring "two-step connection" in the city. Mozi? "It's two feet long, six inches big, and the rope is two feet long," said Beiefu. The so-called stiffness here refers to the stiff tip section, and the cable is the cable chain connecting the tip section and the handle section.

(2) Big head stick

In the early Warring States period, Master Mozi, an outstanding scientist, thinker and strategist, was inspired by the flail and invented the big-end stick for the need of guarding the city in the war.

As the times require, the longevity stick came into being, making a name for itself and starting his historical mission of more than 2,500 years.

The shaft connection mode of long and short bars limits the hitting direction of short bars, so it is changed to the chain iron ring connection mode, which makes the running direction of short bars universal and improves the hitting frequency and flexibility. At the same time, the short stick was changed to the same thickness as the long stick, which increased the impact. The big sharp stick has the skills of swinging, chopping, cutting, pulling, stabbing, picking, sweeping, turning and blocking, as well as the unique skills of shaking and hanging, which are handy to use, especially in war, it is extremely effective to sweep the enemy's legs and behead the infantry and soldiers who climb the tower.

Laughter has ups and downs in history, but the big sharp stick is still inherited and developed in China with its strong vitality.

(3) Small sharp stick

In the practice of ancient warfare, due to the needs of infantry melee, not only long weapons such as big-ended sticks were needed to deal with the enemy, but also long weapons or long instruments were lost in melee. When hand-to-hand combat is useless, a small sharp stick inserted at the waist comes in handy, and it is pulled out from the waist to attack the enemy, or strangled with a chain. Because it is short, agile, changeable and extremely lethal. The small sharp stick and the big sharp stick have the same structure, and the long and short sticks are two feet and one foot respectively. When dancing, you can hold the long end, the short end or both hands.

Small tip, also known as hand tip, can be used for doubles or singles practice, and can also be used with other instruments, such as single knife and Teng card. The main techniques are a little bit, pumping, bouncing, sweeping, winding, pulling, grasping, knocking and hitting. It is a dexterous and practical melee instrument.

Therefore, because of its unique function, the small sharp stick occupies a place among many weapons in China and continues to this day.

(d) Traditional nunchakus and modern nunchakus

After development, the small pointed stick has evolved into a traditional nunchaku mainly made of wood and iron. The stick chain is lengthened and the two sections are equal in length, which better balances the operation of the two sections and increases the blow. When in use, the hands are interchangeable, the stick body is interchangeable, short and pithy, solid and flashy. Dance is more flexible and changeable, swinging freely, unpredictable movements, and the sound is a diversion and surprise. Proficiency is like suddenly adding two arms, which is even more powerful.

Since modern times, nunchakus have been skillfully combined with modern science. Modern nunchakus have various patterns and characteristics, which greatly enrich the types of nunchakus, making nunchakus jump out of the scope of war and leap into a new field of vision of fitness, performance and entertainment. Modern nunchakus are mainly made of aluminum alloy, foam and other materials, and the length and chain length of nunchakus are also adjusted according to different technical characteristics, especially represented by a series of patented products of the National Technical Nunchak Headquarters. Taking safety and portability as the leading idea, it has increased the number of suitable people to the maximum extent, thus greatly increasing the feasibility of social promotion, realizing the desire of most people to practice nunchakus, and playing a great role in promoting the historical development of nunchakus.

(5) National nunchakus

2 1 0 At the beginning of the century, after nearly 10 years of excavation, arrangement and innovation, Mr. Zhou Xuanshuai, the founder of national technical nunchakus, fully inherited the essence of China traditional martial arts, integrated modern nunchakus technology, and launched a set of standardized, scientific, systematic and safe emerging nunchakus products, teaching and operating systems, which are suitable for all ages, healthy and fashionable.

According to different groups of people, routines and techniques with different technical characteristics have been developed, which are not only suitable for middle-aged and elderly people's fitness and entertainment, but also suitable for college, primary and secondary school recess exercises and physical education class, and also suitable for the actual combat of the Armed Police Force. At the same time, nunchakus specially developed for disabled people to practice, so that they can build up their self-confidence and self-reliance.

This nunchaku system first became popular in Chinese mainland, and quickly developed to the north and south of the country, and then it was widely recognized abroad. This nunchaku system is called "national technical nunchakus".

In 2009, at the suggestion of some old martial artists, Mr. Zhou Xuanshuai, the founder of the national technical nunchakus, initiated the establishment of the World Union of nunchakus. This mature nunchaku system has been certified by the World Union of nunchakus and set as the theoretical basis and technical standard for global promotion.

At the same time, adhering to the road of nunchakus promoted by the World Federation of nunchakus, we are committed to promoting the sport of nunchakus, bringing Mika's nunchakus culture to all countries in the world and bringing new ideas and new ways of healthy and happy life. Make nunchaku lovers healthy and cheerful, cultivate martial arts morality and care for others, and spare no effort to create a harmonious society.

After years of development, the national technical nunchakus has gradually improved, established its unique core advantages and won wide recognition from people.

The teaching system of national technical nunchakus is divided into six series of teaching contents: national technical nunchakus horizontal technique, national technical nunchakus horizontal routine, competitive nunchakus teaching technique, safety nunchakus teaching technique, middle-aged and elderly fitness nunchakus teaching technique and police nunchakus teaching technique.

The national technical nunchakus products are divided into six series, namely: nunchakus series, nunchakus training competition clothes, nunchakus training competition shoes, nunchakus training targets, nunchakus training headgear and nunchakus headband.

The perfection of the basic theory of nunchakus and the innovation of nunchakus products have created favorable conditions for the national science and technology nunchakus to go abroad and go to the world. We also look forward to the wonderful work of nunchakus spreading all over the world, benefiting the world and creating a better life together.

The technique and teaching system of competitive nunchakus is one of the important contents of national nunchakus. Because the patented products of national technology nunchakus ensure the safety of nunchakus, nunchakus competition is possible, which is an improvement on the basis of fitness, an important way to protect and inherit the traditional nunchakus movement in China, and also the basis for the development and promotion of nunchakus movement. Only by showing the powerful charm of nunchakus can it be popularized and popularized to the greatest extent.

The national technical nunchakus project aims at mass fitness, actively participates in mass fitness and social welfare undertakings, and devotes itself to promoting this ancient Wushu sport originated in China, protecting our cultural heritage, showing the great spiritual connotation of the Chinese nation, showing the charm of Chinese Wushu culture, and seeking the organic unity of dedication and development. It is also the sacred mission of the World Union of Nunchaku to popularize the fitness exercise of Nunchaku, so that practitioners can keep fit and enjoy the spirit, achieve cooperation, care, health and harmony, thus promoting social progress and making people all over the world feel the infinite charm of this fitness activity.

Second, the interpretation of nunchakus.

Nunchakus are two sticks connected in the middle, just like friends walking hand in hand. It explains the spirit of cooperation and care of the national technical nunchakus and the significance of promoting the health and harmony of nunchakus. This is the broad connotation of nunchaku itself for human beings. We, regardless of nunchakus promoters, practitioners, and all friends who care about nunchakus, are friends maintained by a bond. This bond is nunchakus, and we will unite as one and walk hand in hand.

Sharp sticks appeared in Europe in the middle Middle Ages and were mainly used for immediate combat. Southeast Asia and other regions were introduced from China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Mozi was once a master craftsman as famous as Lu Ban and the founder of Mohism. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, chaos and frequent wars occurred. Mozi and Lu Ban used their excellent skills to design defensive and offensive equipment respectively. In this context, Master Mozi invented the sharp stick. Therefore, we can solemnly declare that nunchakus originated in ancient China.

There are many names for musical instruments that are basically the same as sharp sticks, such as "Lian Li", "flail stick" and "iron chain clip stick". Some are two-stage combination, some are multi-stage combination, some are used immediately, and some are used step by step.

The ancestors of nunchakus and nunchakus formally withdrew from the historical stage as powerful weapons in the attack, killing and defense of blood. Now nunchakus have reappeared in front of the people of the world as effective mass fitness equipment, and the national technical nunchakus is the leader of this new fitness project.
