Transformable nunchaku system

Abstract

Nunchaku systems, apparatus, and methods for forming the same are provided. A first member may be formed. A second member may be formed. The first member may be connected to the second member via a first set of one or more flexible connectors. The first member and the second member may be magnetically and removably couplable to one another.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A nunchaku system comprising:
 a first member connected to a second member via a first set of one or more flexible connectors;   wherein the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably couplable to one another.   
     
     
         2 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably dockable to one another. 
     
     
         3 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the first member comprises a pin, and the second member comprises a recess matching the pin. 
     
     
         4 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein:
 the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably dockable to one another based in part on the pin and the recess; and   the pin is inserted into the recess when the first member and the second member are docked.   
     
     
         5 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the first member and the second member are rotatable about a pivot corresponding to the pin and the recess. 
     
     
         6 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein:
 the first member comprises a first flat surface;   the second member comprises a second flat surface; and   the first flat surface and the second flat surface are brought into close proximity when the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably coupled.   
     
     
         7 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the first flat surface contacts the second flat surface when the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably coupled. 
     
     
         8 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein one or both of the first member and the second member comprise one or more magnets, and the one or more magnets facilitate docking the first member and the second member together. 
     
     
         9 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first member and the second member have a same length. 
     
     
         10 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first member or the second member is longer than the other. 
     
     
         11 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the first member or the second member is half the length of the other. 
     
     
         12 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third member connected to a fourth member via a second set of one or more flexible connectors;   wherein the third member and the fourth member are magnetically and removably couplable to one another.   
     
     
         13 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein the third member and the fourth member are magnetically and removably couplable to the first member and the second member. 
     
     
         14 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the third member and the fourth member are magnetically and removably dockable to the first member and the second member. 
     
     
         15 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein the first member, the second member, the third member, and the fourth member are combinable in a plurality of configurations. 
     
     
         16 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of configurations comprises a two-segmented nunchaku. 
     
     
         17 . The nunchaku system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of configurations comprises a three-segmented nunchaku. 
     
     
         18 . A method for forming nunchaku, the method comprising:
 forming a first member;   forming a second member;   connecting the first member to the second member via a first set of one or more flexible connectors;   wherein the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably couplable to one another.   
     
     
         19 . The method as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the first member and the second member are magnetically and removably dockable to one another. 
     
     
         20 . The method as recited in  claim 19 , wherein the first member comprises a pin, and the second member comprises a recess matching the pin.
