a single knot is a rope lowers the strength of the rope by 50%. Learn how to do a 3 string restring, with no knot. preserves the full strength of all 3 strands. also the full name is Chisai Sansetsu Kon.
There are no tutorials for this, I know how to use them, however I am not qualified to instruct others in their use. you'd need to seek out an instructor in traditional Okinawan Karate and Kobudo. Jessie Enkamp made a video about these in his "10 Deadly Okinawan Weapons" video
I understand that you don’t know about the three-section staff, aka triple staff, and called “sansetsukon” in Japanese, so please allow me to enlighten you just a little. Hmmmm...well, I guess I kinda just did😂 But to add a little more, the sections are longer, usually at least 14” each, but I’ve seen some as long as 24” each. If you think about the three-section staff literally *AS* a “staff” rather than nunchucks, the longer length begins to make sense, as the bo “staff” used in martial arts are usually two different “long bo” (typically 5’-6’) and “short bo” (about 3’) lengths. Many advanced students make their own to suit their personal styles as well as their height. I’m thinking if he were a martial artist learning the three-section staff, Warwick Davis would love the one you made in this video😂 Okay, on a more serious note, there are sectional staffs available that can actually twist-lock together to make one long, solid staff, hence the term, “3-section *STAFF*” Thanks for reading all of this.
Thanks, I did some research before making these, and couldn't find anything with these dimensions. I saw plenty on the three-section staff. These, however, were a custom build for a customer and he wanted each section at 6 inches. I ended up making two sets, the set you see me stringing up has a middle section that is a bit shorter, but that's because that's all the wood I had. In messing around with them after the build I found that they fit in my back pocket and can be deployed very quickly. I can see how that would be an advantage over the traditional two-piece nunchaku.
Joe Pierce Maker thanks for taking the time to answer my comment in such detail, I didn’t realize it was a custom order with particular specs, and they really turned out beautifully! I can definitely see how they’d fit into a pocket. Very useful!
there is a video saying that the sansetsukon is a broken bo, while the sansetsuchaku (3 section nunchaku) the one made in this video is a more compact nunchaku.
Joe Pierce Maker nice work. It’s just what I was looking for. I was watching a vid on old Okinawan weapons and they showed exactly what you built. Thanx! (made my first set of chucks in 1974)
