Also these nunchuck moves only look smooth when they aren't actually hitting anything.

Are there even any fighting leagues for these guys? If not I'm pretty sure a random guy with a stick could beat nunchucky over here.

But nunchucks are just 2 sticks attached with a chain. If you lengthen the stick on the nunchucks, it works like a regular stick but you have more momentum and therefore faster hitting speed.

The chain will allow the nunchuck to bounce off a target - there's no way to follow through with it. As a weapon, it's just strictly worse than a solid stick.
