I don't know if I have much to add to the conversation, but I want to echo what's already been said. I've trained with several different hand to hand weapons, so I too speak from experience.
1) Nunchuckas are hard to learn to use effectively, in comparison with other weapons.
2) Check on state weapon laws. In Maine, where I'm from originally, they are considered an offensive weapon, and as such they cannot be carried concealed without a permit.
3) Get foam ones to begin with. I've used several different kinds and given myself many bruises to accompany each of them.
4) Don't even pretend you're good enough to practice inside, unless you have a huge fucking room with nothing in it.
5) If you do go for it, and you put enough effort into learning to use them, you will be rewarded by
A) Knowing more about your body and becoming a more effective fighter in general and
B) Looking totally badass.
I think that's about it. Good luck.
