    As I understand it - In England it is legal to sell, buy and own Nunchaku if you are 18 years old or over.

    It is, however, illegal to have in your possession in a public place unless locked away in a bag etc and not readilly available for use.

    i am 15, so i cant have them. well i didnt buy them my ex instructor gave me them :p sent them through my dads friends :D so i CAN carry them as long as i dont make it obvious and make sure they are not readily availible for use ?

    At 15 you can carry them as long as you don't get caught!

    I'm unsure about the legalisites of that at 15. Maybe one of our LEOs can comment.

    yeah i live in england n carry my nunchaku around with me most of the time i bought mine when i was 16 and last time i checked it is legal to carry them as long as they are in a lockable bag e.g. backpack i also read that you are aloud to practice in a public place as long as you arent somewhere where you can hurt someone and you must notify your local police to tell them that you will be practacing in a public place but im sure many places you cant use them at all............. prolly didnt make much sence pz

    lol i wouldnt ask the police about that sort of thing :D bit risky. I have had my nunchaku since i was 9 but i was in south africa (dont know what the law was?) and the cops saw me (i am sure, espeacially since i showed them after we were robbed. but probably thought it was a toy :D
