This weapon has a large number of variations. The most important are what could be said to be its sister weapon or three-section staff from China, the Sansetsukon, and the Sanbon Nunchaku, which is very similar to the Sansetsukon only that in this one the wooden sections are the same size as in the Sansetsukon. nunchucks Another version of this weapon, the Kuruman-Bo, which is a Bo (or 183 cm long staff) with a rope at one end that joins it to a smaller 30 cm piece of wood, is a very little weapon. known. Other variants of this weapon are: the Yon-Setsukon, which is nothing more than a nunchaku with four sections where each of these is half the size of a common nunchaku, and the Sanhokon, which is like a common nunchaku from whose rope or another chain comes out with another section of wood equal to the other two. A last variant better known in China is the Sanchaku, which is a three-section wooden weapon used for blocking-attacking. Bearing in mind that there are "asymmetrical" nunchucks, that is, with a long stick and a short stick, and as the article says that it was used by women to lower the fruits of tall trees, could it perhaps be possible that this tool, before being used in martial arts was used to harvest fruits and separate the seeds from the ears [threshing] as is done with the European flail? The southernmost part of present-day Japanese territory is the Ryu-Kyu Islands. But they have not always belonged to the Japanese Empire. The Ryu Kyu are made up of some six dozen islands and a multitude of islets and boulders, with Okinawa being the main island. In the year 1478 King Shoshin rules in this kingdom, who promulgated different edicts prohibiting weapons to peasants, fishermen and the popular classes in general, finding themselves unarmed and at the mercy of bandits and oppressive soldiers, which caused them to start some systems of defense taking advantage of the instruments and utensils of field work and fishing. The peasants of these islands, the majority social group, found in their work tools the object they needed, transforming them into weapons of attack and defense. Thus, they sought a double facet for their nunchaku (flail), kama (sickle), seiryuto (machete); suburi (hoe), eiku (paddle), bo (stick), or the tonfa.
