Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted November 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 2, 2015 On the recent release of 'Dragon's Snake Fist', one of the extras is an impromptu interview with Dragon Lee, by Toby Russell, from 2003. Russell asks him about the one stick nunchuck, and Lee explained that he actually made the weapon himself, so there's only one of them. I suspect this is the only movie it's ever been used in, unless there's other flicks that Dragon Lee has busted it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dragon Lee has used this weapon more than once but I'm not 100% sure on that one. Lee has replaced one end of the nunchaku with a small steel circle, so he can wrap it round his fingers. On the far left of the image below is a similar variation of the nunchaku. Only Dragon Lee replaced the shorter section of the weapon with a steel circle.

Member Jadedragon61 Posted November 8, 2015 Member Share Posted November 8, 2015 Dragon Lee was originally a Hapkido practitioner, if I recall. I don't know if this weapon is in their curriculum - however, it is included in Hwa Rang Do. I believe the name of the weapon, from the Korean, translates "bone-crusher". I think Michael Echanis shows something of it in this book: Dragon Claws is correct, however, in that basically it's a nunchaku variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
