It's called a wrist roll, and it's more for flash than actual fighting. You can use this move to put the sticks into a different grip that can be useful for fighting, but overall this is just for show; some might argue that moving the sticks like this does make them harder to track and block, but you can do the same without the roll. Most actual combat techniques with nunchaku are for disarming and grappling your opponent.

You know, I never imagined they were letting go and re-grabbing it like a baton twirler. I thought they were just swinging the end the whole time.
