While if practiced extensively they can become extremely effective weapons, they aren't really more effective than other simpler weapons (stick or rope)
Perhaps, depending on the wielder.....

Octagonal nunchaku (chucks with octagon-shaped handles instead of round ones) are designed for cutting when swung at high speeds. Moderate to heavy force with these can take a person's head off.

Thus they are illegal in most states for their deadliness and relative simplicity to learn.
