Did anyone ever actually use these weapons?

When I was in the local park one day I saw a brief altercation between one of the middle aged drinkers and an aggressive young man that ended when the older man took out a pair of nunchucks and twirled them in a threatening manner. Apparently there had been some trouble earlier and he went home to arm himself. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

I remember the throwing stars being banned from sale back in the 70's here.

Holloway was like a ninja movie in 2012.

A woman has been stabbed with a samurai sword in north London in an "unprovoked" attack, police say.

An unarmed officer responding to the call of a woman being attacked on Holloway Road at 00:40 GMT was confronted by a man with the sword.

The victim, 22, an Italian, has wounds to her legs, arms and face but her injuries are not life-threatening.

A 25-year-old man was arrested and a bag containing a crossbow, samurai type swords and hunting knives was seized.

The police sergeant who went to the scene found the woman bleeding heavily on the floor, the spokesman said.

People in London are usually more casually dressed when they drink lager and twirl nunchucks in the park. I sometimes think I see ninjas but they turn out to be Muslim women in full gear.

I used to be able to cut flies in half midair with the stars.

Broke a few windows though.

I didn’t eat them though!
