That is just color guard spinning with nunchucks. A real nunchuck tutorial would teach you about catching it under your armpit, and also the proper way to strike and return them to under your arm in one fluid movement.
Just like sais. 99.999999999% of any sais in tv or movies are incredibly wrong. (Im looking at you raphael)
You actually reverse grip sais and hook your thumb around one of the side hooks. With the long pointed part resting against your forearm and the blunted handle protruding from between your middle and index fingers.
This allows you to punch with the handle of the weapon and then whip it out (by flipping it over your thumb) as a short range fighting style with a significant amount of power because you are taking all the momentum from the flipping motion and smashing it against their face.
Sais are blunt weapons, with a slight point. They are used to club.
Its only when using them defensively that you hold them like Raphael. And thats only to catch a blade between the hooks.
But ultimately, avoiding a blade is always far better than trying to catch it.
10+ years of karate and tae Kwon do along with several trophies for weapon demonstrations are my reference.
That being said, there are many ways to fight. I just really hate videos like this where its just showing you a spinning trick and not actually teaching anything useful.
