Originated in China and
mastered by the
Japanese, the shuriken
(literally "hand hidden
blade"), was mainly
taught as a minor, or
more correctly, a secret
part of the martial
arts.
Ninjas were assassins,
and this tactical tool
was known for being most
artistic and most
lethal, an asset for a
silent warrior.
Since ninjas were taught
this art in secret and
the lessons and
techniques guarded
fervently, very little
historical documentation
exists on the art of the
shuriken.
We do know that they
were favored for
distraction, or
incapacitation of a foe.
Having striking points
on all sides, a ninja
could easily disable an
enemy with one quick
flick of the wrist,
rendering his opponent
unable to wield his own
weapon, leaving the
ninja with the upper
hand.
The art of wielding the
shuriken is known as
shuriken-jutsu. Constant
practice made the
shuriken instinctive to
the Ninja, who, it was
rumored, could hit a
target as small as a
dime at ranges of up to
30 feet.
Today, there are many
and varied types of
shuriken including
darts, spikes, and
blades.
