Ninja Warriors – Practice With Your Throwing Stars
In addition to their famous swords, the Ninjato, Ninja warriors also carried what is known as shurikens, or throwing stars. Many first rate Martial Arts training programs include the use of the throwing star in their training.
If you have ever tried throwing a dart at a dartboard you know that it takes some practice to get really good. The same caution should be used as when throwing darts. Don’t practice in an area where someone could walk in front of your target unexpectedly and clear the area around and behind the practice target of anything that might break if you hit it. Now you need a target. You can buy a really nice looking one if you want, they are worth it, or you can just use an old sheet of plywood with a target drawn on it.
