Nunchaku : The Complete Training Guide
by Jiro Shiroma
In this book Jiro Shiroma, holder of 7th dan in Shorin-Ryu and traditional kobudo, teach basic and some advanced nunchaku techniques, application of these techniques against one who attack with empty hands, knife, bo or nunchaku, and also one kata. Book includes a lot of nunchaku grappling techniques - joint locks and takedowns. Described techniques are very interesting, some of them I never meet in other sources. On other hand, basics explained no so good, so I would highly recommend this book to advanced nunchaku practitioners, but if you are beginner, i'll recommend you to buy Demura's books instead.

Nunchaku: Dynamic Training
by Hirokazu Kanazawa
Hirokazu Kanazawa is one of the greatest Shotokan karate stylists. His nunchaku manual book covers nunchaku history, basic techniques, good explained kata and it's bunkai (applications). In my opinion, this book explains nunchaku kata better than any other manual I seen. At second hand explanation of basic techniques is no so good, so I would highly recommend this book to advanced practitioner who already learned basics. If you wish to order this book, click here.

Nunchaku: Karate's Deadliest Fighting Sticks
by Andrew S. Linick
Another good manual book. Traditional kobudo practitioner Andrew Linick teach in his book basic and some advanced nunchaku techniques, methods of training and some rarely explained topic - self-defence techniques and tactics of street fight. Main problem of this book - really bad illustrations, so sometimes it's hard to understand basic techniques. I would recommend this book to all serious nunchaku practitioners and especially to these who learn nunchaku for self-defence. If you wish to order this book, click here.

The Complete Book Of Karate Weapons
by Dr. Ted Gambordella
This book teaches techniques of 7 weapons: nunchaku, yawara (palm stick), sai, knife, tonfa, tanbo (2' stick) and bo (long staff). I have this book in my collection. This site dedicated to nunchaku, but I wish say that this book include very interesting matherials about other weapons, among them some techniques which can't be found in other books, and the chapter about yawara is the only printed manual of yawara I ever seen. Nunchaku techniques, that described in this book, mainly covered by other books mentioned on this page, hovewer such topics as striking areas and defences against nunchaku and also some techniques are unique for this book. So I didn't spent money in vain - the book definitely deserves to be read. If you wish to order this book, click here.

Ed Parker's Guide to the Nunchaku
by Ed Parker
Book by "father of American karate" Ed Parker. This book mainly will interesting to American kenpo practitioners. I don't think it's so good book because it covers a few actual techniques and a lot of words about how it's important to be creative. On other hand this book contains a few interesting topics like concealed carrying of nunchaku, safety rules or choosing proper nunchaku size, so I think serious nunchaku practitioner may wish to buy this book, especially considering its low price.

Twenty-One Techniques of Silent Killing
by Master Hei Long
In general, this book isn't exactly "martial arts" book. As you can see from the book name, it deal with assassination techniques. There explained 21 ways to kill someone quickly and silently, attracting as little attention as possible while guaranteeing the target's death. Book deal with spike, knife and nunchaku techniques.
