Jeet Kune Do was created by Bruce Lee. It swept the world with its hurricane-like moves. Jeet Kune Do was derived from Chinese Kung Fu Wing Chun. Weapons include Nunchucks, short sticks and long sticks. But the most famous and awesome among those is obviously the Nunchucks.
Nunchuck was originally called the Rotating Dragon Stick. It was invented by the Chinese emperor of the Song Dynasty. Originally, a rotating dragon stick has one longer chuck and a short chuck connected by metal links. During that age, these kind of cold weapons are used mainly to attack legs of horses, to destroy armors and other hard weapons, so that the enemies lose their ability to fight and surrender. Later, the rotating dragon stick was brought to Philippine and Japan. That is why it got the Japanese name of Nunchuck. Finally, Bruce Lee refined it and brought it up to the movie screen and introduced it to the world.

The skills and techniques of Nunchuck are very flexible. You can attack from almost any directions, head, arms, waist, ribs, knee or thigh. It is very powerful because it is that flexible.
Along with the development of Jeet Kune Do, the Nunchuck is becoming more and more popular and loved by the public who are interested in martial art. Due to the promotion of Jeet Kune Do in many different country by different masters, several different styles of Nunchuck technique is evolved. There are the American and European Nunchuck style used by the cops, Philippine illusionary Nunchuck style and the sporty Japanese and Korean styles. They all have their own characteristics and advantages.
The founder of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee learnt Philippine stick technique from Dan Inosanto during his stay in the US. By Inosanto's instructions, Bruce Lee became an expert of stick weapon in an extremely short period of time. He then invented his own Jeet Kune Do Nunchuck style and skills using long sticks and short sticks. In the movie Fist of Fury, he used his Nunchuck on stage for the first time. The moves like sweep, chop and swing are so beautifully done and deadly. Until the movie, the Way of the Dragon, he even used two Nunchucks at the same time. And the skills he demonstrated became even more incredible and beautiful. The Nunchuck is then practiced by millions of people around the world.
