ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chigiriki

A chigiriki is a tool that people use in martial arts or self-defense. It's made of a wooden stick with a chain attached to a weight at the end. Imagine a toy car with a string that you pull to make it move, but instead of a car, it's a stick and instead of a string, it's a chain with a weight on the end.

When someone swings a chigiriki, the weight on the end moves around, making it harder for someone to block or dodge the stick. It's a bit like swirling a lasso around.

People who use chigiriki have to be careful because it's a dangerous weapon. You wouldn't want to hit someone too hard or in the wrong place, because it could really hurt them. That's why it's important to practice with a teacher who knows how to use it safely.
