The origin of the nunchaku is unclear, although one popular belief is that nunchaku was originally a short South-East Asian flail used to thresh rice or soybeans. Alternative theories are that it was originally developed from an Okinawan horse bit (muge) or from a wooden clapper called hyoshiki carried by the village night watch, made of two blocks of wood joined by a cord. The night watch would hit the blocks of wood together to attract people's attention, then warn them about fires and other dangers.
Though some propose that the association of nunchaku and other Okinawan weapons with rebellious peasants, it is most likely a romantic exaggeration. Martial arts in Okinawa were practiced exclusively by aristocracy (kazoku) and "serving nobles" (shizoku), but were prohibited among commoners (heimin). According to Chinese folklore, nunchaku are a variation of the two section staff.

tatsächlich gibt es in Indonesien eine waffe namens Liangkat, die faktisch mit einem Nunchaku identisch ist. auch da heißt es: vorbild sei eine regionale art von kurzem (!) dreschflegel gewesen.
für mich ist der nunchaku noch am ehesten tatsächlich mit landwirtschaftlichem gerät aus asien in verbindung zu bringen.
wissen werden wir das nie.
