Ninja Throwing Stars

How to Master the Art of Stealth

Although we focus on the sword and throwing stars as being the primary weapons of a ninja, that is not the case. Their primary weapon is stealth - the ability to appear unexpectedly. This is part of why ninjas were so successful. Not only did they have the ability to practice stealth at will, but this ability engendered fear in the hearts of their opponents. Never knowing when or where an opponent will appear puts people on edge, builds up their fear and gives you the extra edge you need in a fight.

To learn how to practice stealth you must first master your inner self. You need to become disciplined and learn the true path of the ninja. Once you have harnessed your inner motivations then you can begin the outward practice of stealth. Practice breathing properly and making no sound. Learn how to walk quietly, placing your feet carefully.

It takes time to learn how to practice stealth but with patience you too can learn how to move soundlessly. Control your breathing and control your movements and master this until you become capable of moving without sound. This will give you that element of surprise that only stealth can accomplish.

How to Use a Ninja Throwing Star

One of the most important aspects of becoming a ninja is learning how to properly use the tools of the trade. Throwing stars, or Shuriken are an important part of the ninja art form. Before you begin, it is vital to realize that these throwing stars are illegal in most states and you must never practice with one against a human being. Injuries are all too common and may be fatal. These are lethal weapons and are not designed for "fun."

Build a proper target made out of plywood or drywall. This target should have a firm base and be strong enough to withstand several practice throws. Place the target at least ten feet away from you when you are first beginning. It will take time to develop the skills necessary to reach your target and hit it accurately. Practice in an area where there is no chance of hurting someone else or yourself.

Begin by holding the star vertically in one hand. Place it between your thumb and index finger. Using a forward throwing motion, hurl the star at your target, snapping your wrist as you let the star go. Keep practicing until you are consistently hitting your target then move it further away. In time, you will be a master of the Shuriken.

Ninja Weapons $10.95 This handy volume introduces the exciting and deadly secrets of two ninja arts- the chain and the shuriken. The Masaki school of chain fighting was developed in the feudal society of the early eighteenth century by a swordsman-sentry in Edo (Tokyo) Castle. Feeling that the shedding of blood in such a hallowed place would be disgraceful, he devised the combat use of the weighted chain . Even the name he gave to the art proves the trust he placed in its effectiveness- manrikigusari (chain with the power of ten thousand). The equally devastating art of shuriken, the throwing of metal stars and spikes, evolved shortly after manrikigusari. The easily concealed shuriken soon became known as an extremely effective. weapon for both ninja and samurai warriors.

The Mystic Arts of the Ninja $19.81 Ninja . . . that single word conjures up images of mystery and power. The ability to move swiftly and silently, to mesmerize one's victim, to strike infallibly, and then to disappear into the night--this is the legend of the "ninja," These nearly sorcerous aspects of the "ninja," as well as the exotic weapons they use, are the focus of "The Mystic Arts of the Ninja," Its author, "Shidoshi" Stephen K. Hayes, is the sole American to be granted teaching credentials by the 34th grandmaster of the Togokure School of "Ninjutsu" in Japan. Going beyond the basic conditioning and training techniques of his best-selling "Ninjutsu: The Art of the Invisible Warrior," Hayes explains the most sought after secrets of his ninja training: Hypnotism: Saiminjutsu, the ninja's hypnotic powers are described and explained. Sample exercises are provided to help develop your hypnotic powers. Invisibility: Stealth walking and camouflage are discussed.

More than 400 black-and-white photos are used to illustrate the secrets and techniques that have been used by the ninja to surprise and outwit their foes over the past 800 years.
