Nunchaku-do is a relatively new martial art, which focuses exclusively on the nunchaku; a centuries-old weapon, made famous by the legendary Bruce Lee.
The nunchaku is the foundation on which the sport is built. Its modern-day incarnation: the official WNA Safety Nunchaku, makes it possible for two fighters to safely and legally engage each other in the duels that are the most popular discipline of Nunchaku-do, kumite. Other disciplines are kata, freestyle and Jutsu.
The founder of the sport is Milco Lambrecht (1963, the Netherlands). Through the years many technical committees and experts joined the WNA board.
The World Nunchaku Association (WNA) promotes the sport around the globe and has branches in many countries. To clearly distinguish Nunchaku-do from other nunchaku sports, it is sometimes referred to as “WNA Nunchaku-do” or “WNA style nunchaku”.
