I gotta go with nunchuks. Anything you sling around on a chain seems silly to me. It seems like nunchuks are only good weapons against the unarmed. Anyone else has more range, usually something sharp in play and there isn’t a limp chain in the middle reducing the force of your strikes.
I really don’t get how these weird sheet metal swords are supposed to be useful in combat. Okay so I can inflict nasty cuts on my opponent? And myself? Also just seems like they’d get caught around things and break.
I remember the deadliest warrior episode with one of those and it seemed like high risk little reward. I feel like the flexibility would fuck up how deep it can cut and deadliest warrior showed that to be true.
The guy doing the demo is really feeling himself. Mall ninjas are everywhere i swear.
Yeah it’s really not exclusively an anglo thing. All cultures have mall ninjas.
Also fighting and war through history has ranged from serious trying to kill each other and doing a little show to impress the fellas. Depending on material circumstances of the time.
For every silly weapon made to be shown off there’s also something like the Iklwa (Zulu short stabbing spear) for killing.
