It's not hard to concieve why so many people are fond of the Ninja. You even heard about them in Hollywood Movies. If you or one of your friends has an Interest in Battle Weapons of the Ninja, there are 4 main weapons you should take a look at. These have been used for hundreds of years for self defense or as part of your weapons arsenal.
The Shuriken
If you've ever heard of a Throwing Star this is what the Shuriken is. They've been plastered all over our TV Screen in popular Martial Arts Movies. The Shuriken is probably the most popular weapon the Ninja use. Most Shuriken have 4 points that you'll find being sold, however you can also find them occastionally with 8 points. You will usually end up purchasing these in packs of 4, 8 and 12 piece sets. Sometimes the blades on these are sharpened but sometimes they're not.
Sharp Shurikens can either cut or kill the user, for example if they were hit directly in the jugular like you would see in the movies. The best thing to do is buy a target with it and practice. The more you practice the better you will get.
The Nunchakus
Nunchakus are made from two pieces of solid wood joined together by a chain. You will find that some of them are connected with strong nylon cord. When practicing with Nunchakus, you need to be careful. You can give yourself a nice knot on the head if you're not careful. Typically a Martial Artist will hold one piece in thier hand and use the other to swing at their intended target.
One can use the Nunchaku to quickly injure an attacker during a fight. To do this you have to be able to work them fast, and this does take some time to master. This Battle Weapon works the best during close combat.
Katana Sword
The Katana Sword is a single blade sword. It typically has a curved blade. It is one of the deadliest swords ever made and used in combat.
The Sai
The Sai comes in pairs of 2 knows as Sai's. They are rounded with hooks on both sides. These are used to protect the user from getting their hand sliced off from a Sword. They are made of solid steel, are heavy and if struck with one it will really hurt and this weapon can also break bones. The martial arts have been practiced for thousands of years.
It's amazing when you hear about the different cultures and the different forms that they practice. This is a subject to keep close tabs on.
