medieval flails (basically what this is-- even the articulated head length to the grip area is the same) were known to cause high user fatigue since you had to use a lot of energy to bring up the momentum of the head before the strike. due to the articulation of the head, it was very difficult to defend against due to the somewhat random vector the head would swing-in from even when trying to intercept, even so far as being able to strike behind helmets and shields. The point of articulation, as shown, also allows a significant increase in the power of the head-- easily breaking bones and causing internal bleeding through armor.

This thing is as scary as it looks, but you'll be tired as fuck after going through a whole chord of wood with it. one point here, if he upgraded the from chain from steel link to roller chain (eg: bicycle/motorcycle chain), he could maintain all the benefits of the flail mechanism while reducing/eliminating the chance of this to swing off-axis-- as the chain would no longer be able to twist (as much) side-to-side-- an increase in accuracy (and safety). Roller chains are found on flail weapons as far back as the 1500s, so this wouldn't be implausible as a historical weapon.

That reminded me of nunchucks too, because learning them means bonking yourself on the head. He'll only do that once with that thing, but it's really impressive

You should try juggling knives. It's not that dangerous. I was once juggling some knives that were different weights, turns out it was hard to be consistent with that. One of them landed point down into my finger. The fun part is I had no intention of balancing it but there is stuck for like two seconds just balanced there. That's basically the worst that can happen. Everyone should juggle knives. Looks badass, not that dangerous once you realize a knife is only dangerous if there is someone on the other end.

Shake 'n Bake!

Try this one, boss: https://u.smutty.horse/mkfhvjbsath.mp4

I would wear a helmet to flail that thing.
