The tabak-toyok (sometimes colloquially referred to as chako) is a Filipino flail weapon consisting of a pair of sticks connected by a chain.
It is closely related to the Okinawan nunchaku, the primary difference being that the Filipino version tends to have shorter handles and a longer chain than its Okinawan counterpart, making it better suited for long range.
The length of the rope or chain that connects the handles is approximately 4–7.5 in (10–19 cm), but the weapon's ideal size depends on the user.
Filipino martial artist Dan Inosanto teaches tabak-toyok techniques as part of his kali curriculum.
He introduced the weapon to his friend and student, the martial artist and actor Bruce Lee.
