History Main / InstantChucks

** In general this is also why Michaelangelo is more controversial than his brothers with the censors. Improvised swords, bows, and even sais will just be glorified sticks. Improvised chucks will have much, much more leverage behind the strikes (or even just tricks) combined with less control; a strong recipe for disaster for any kid viewer. Or adults for that matter.

[[FightingWithChucks Nunchucks are fun!]] The {{ninja}} love them, and they are one of the most famous martial arts weapons around (next to the [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]]). The best thing about them is the fact that they are so easy to make! All you have to do, is take two random items, and connect them with a rope or a [[ChainPain chain]], and there you go! InstantChucks!
