The ninja is one of the most revered figures in Japanese history. For over a thousand years, they were known as masters of every possible weapon and used them to wreak havoc upon the enemy – be it samurai warriors or forbidden scrolls.  The ninja weapons are any tools or items that can be used to cause harm, but without the overt evidence of blood that most weapons produce. Ninjas use a variety of tools, such as shuriken (throwing stars), smoke bombs, and grappling hooks to do battle with their enemies.  The ninja’s garb also included weapons like their kenjutsu sword called tanto and short bow called yumi (bows are also used in hunting). The ninja was characterized as a medieval warrior who wore black and relied on stealth to overcome his opponents, using weapons such as the katana, shuriken, and nunchaku . Nunchaku: A weapon composed of two short wooden sticks connected by a length of rope or chain. They were commonly used by the ninja to temporarily disarm opponent...

Most of us are familiar with the use of ninja stars; these can range from weapons to toys. Since they are both hand-held and hand-thrown, they often rate as one of the more difficult weapon styles to learn.  The weapons themselves can be thrown without having them hit anything either for throwing practice or just display. They are also ideal for use in martial arts training since ninja stars allow for greater versatility than most other weapons currently available. How Ninja Stars Were Created: A Secret Theory As ninjas were secretive about their technique, there is no one single source of information about how they created them so there are many different theories on how to make these throwing stars efficiently and effectively.  According to one theory, the point goes through the eye of a hawk so nothing can catch them on the way down. They are also supposed to be very sharp so they can pierce armour. The smaller ninja stars might not be very effective against armo...

  Throwing stars are found in many martial arts, most notably ninjutsu. They are typically between 8 and 12 inches long, with 4 to 8 points on each star. They can be used as a basic weapon or as a ranged weapon. Laws And Legality In the USA, throwing stars are illegal to purchase without a valid permit. In some states, it may be possible to obtain them under certain restrictions.

Ninja stars are a common type of throwing star that is typically made from thin metal and is about six to eight inches (15 to 20 cm) long. They were traditionally used as weapons by ninjas in feudal Japan and later adopted for use as tools by various martial artists such as ninja turtles and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They also make amazing party favors! Ninja stars are commonly thought to be sharp, but they only have a cutting edge on one edge of the weapon. The other three corners are blunt or rounded. The star is held with the sharp end facing the target, but it is thrown with the blunt end first. As ninja stars are used for throwing, they are not made with holes in the center. This makes them good for sticking to targets, walls or even ceilings. These stars have been used as weapons by the Ninja Turtles throughout their various shows and cartoons. They have also been used as tools by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These weapons are often used in TV series, 1984 films, ...
