Oh, definitely! If they were easier to use, there would be more who have used them in battles; warriors rather used stable weapons, like spears and swords. Some consider nunchaku is somewhat inferior to other long weapons, and I think it might be true. Nunchaku definitely has some charisma, though.
BTW, I think they call it "nu'uchicku" in Okinawan. And, there are more than one theory for the origin of nunchaku in Okinawan Kobudo, so I don't know for sure.
