Posted: (Forgive me, but I reckon some ppl are not in the discussion-forum - hence I believe this to be important for the community)
Who doesn't know: A "soft" Nunchaku is made from plastik and wrapped in foam, connected with a cord - prepared in such way that
a) the cord will rip, when the force exceeds a certain limit
b) the nun-chak has a predetermined braking point
It's exclusively for training purposes - to hurt, or kill someone is nearly impossible (got one myself).
Allegedly it has now been ruled by a German court, that even soft nun-chaks are classified a "grade A dangerous weapon".
To carry one is a felony - NOT a misdemeanour/ regulatory offence!
Please be aware, when entering Germany: your nunchaks (no matter what kind) are illegal! If detected they will get confiscated and you will be charged!
I go with dream: the idiots are winning!
Currently there is some uprising in the martial arts scene, as I guess that the ban includes artists and martial arts masters. A petition is prepared and I will keep you posted, where to find the petition - in case you want to join... EDITED_BY: FireTom (1160985231)
The people preparing the petition are looking for artistic glow/ firechak videos. Feel free to PM me, or post the links here, I will notify Oliver and he will be able to include them in his struggle to set the records straight...
Thanks
the best smiles are the ones you lead to

THANKS for that - I transferred the provided links immediately and learned at the same time, that Nunckaks are classified in the UK aswell. According to the sources:
Nunchakus are legal, but you're not allowed to carry them on your body, otherwise you get fined or imprisoned.
For transport you have to carry them in a closed bag, in order to disable immediate and fast access.
If you're trining in public places, it's recommended that you notify the next police station, or you might get yourself in trouble if a spectator reports you.
There are more regulations applicable for other (european) countries:
France - you may buy, but not carry (recommended to carry in a closed bag at the bottom of your sportsbag)
Belgium - prohibited
Poland - illegal (soft okay, regarded as a toy)
Sweden - illegal
Spain - illegal to carry
Hungary - illegal, except for your own flat and the Dojo
Italy - legal
No information about Ireland, at this point. If you know, please tell.
(Disclaimer: the above informations are given in best faith, but no liability can be taken. If you want to make sure, pls call your local police station)
the best smiles are the ones you lead to
