Ninjas are martial artists and fighters from feudal Japan. They were trained to be well-rounded in combat skills and relied heavily on stealth tactics to carry out missions without being detected. They used a variety of weapons, including swords and bows and arrows. Bushidō (the “Way Of The Warrior”) dictated that warriors adhere to the tenets of honor, justice, respect, self-control, compassion for others, generosity and mercy. The ultimate goal of ninjutsu is to serve one’s lord, who is regarded as the defender of the realm. It is believed that ninjas were forbidden to serve any but Japan’s emperor. Although modern ninjas are generally peaceful, there are allegations that they were responsible for the assassination of several high-ranking Japanese officials in the early 1600s.
A Brief Introduction To Ninja Weapons
Ninja weapons are tools to be used by the ninja in their fight for life due to their inborn skills, knowledge, and tactics. For many ninjas, it is uncommon for them not to use at least one of these weapons during any given mission. Many people confuse this term with what they might imagine when they think of cults or assassins. However, that is not considered a true weapon since it doesn’t come from Japanese history or tradition. Although these might be real ninja weapons, they are not the true meaning of what qualifies as a ninja weapon.
Having weapons at your disposal allows you to win otherwise impossible fights. There are times where you might have to face off against multiple opponents with varying skills. That is where weapons come in handy since they will give you the upper hand over them until you are able to defeat them.
Ninja Stars-Their Origin And Characteristics
The origin of this weapon is a mystery, but a popular story about a legendary ninja has been passed down through time. It was invented by a renowned ninja by the name of “Shima”, who studied the art of ninjutsu. This weapon had its origin in China thousands of years ago. The word “shuriken” originated from the Chinese characters “shu” which means “to hand”, and “riken” which means, “a tool that serves for offense or defense”. The weapon was also called shuko and is said to have been invented by a Chinese general who was called “Siau”. It was designed for the purpose of assassination and it consisted of a short metal blade that was sharpened on one side. The blade itself measured around 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.7cm). The shape of the blade was like a half-circle, and it had an open barb at its end.
A Japanese man named Hayatomo Togano decided to scientifically research shuriken throwing when he was 19 years old, in 1873. He was trying to improve his throwing ability, so he took it upon himself to study what makes them fly. As you can probably guess, by looking at the diagram of a shuriken, it contains complicated spinning parts that are unique for this weapon. The top of the shuriken is known as the “nodachi” or “sword”. It’s pointed at both ends, with two blades sticking out either side of it. These points are what allow you to throw shuriken directly at your opponent.
The Uses And Tricks Of Throwing Stars
We’ve all seen a ninja leap from a rooftop and gracefully fly through the air, without any detail of what’s really going on. In short, these ninjas are using their iconic weapons – the shuriken or “ninja star”.The ninja stars appear in many forms and shapes and can be found in various locations around the world. They come with many different names such as chakram, gunnach, grikurkur, shuriken and throwing star. These weapons typically have a steel sharpened outer edge to produce a number of cutting or stabbing wounds on the opponent when thrown or shot from close range. Ninja stars come in different sizes; some are small enough to fit in your pants pocket while others can measure up to three feet long. It was said that the ninja would hide his sword in a tea bowl and hand it to an unsuspecting foe. The unsuspecting enemy would be stabbed through the belly and kill himself from the internal damage caused by his own sword. Many believe that this shows an early use of weaponry against armed opponents from the Far East from ancient times.
Many ninja stars have been found from the 17th century onwards. The earliest known use was from China around 200 BC, and from Japan in medieval times. In Japan, the ninja stars were called shuriken but its proper Japanese name was actually “tantō”. This weapon gradually progressed to become a popular weapon for mercenaries and assassins to use during time periods ranging from the 12th century to the 18th century. The ninja stars have been used effectively by ninjas as a means of surprise attack against their unsuspecting foes. As the ninja stars were made of very light material, these weapons could be easily concealed in clothing, pockets or even in the mouth.
Ninja Stars are not only a deadly weapon but they also have another important function, which is to train soldiers how to properly throw weapons when in the battle against enemies.
The ninja star is one of the most important weapons used in warfare.
It’s Interesting To Know
An interesting fact about this weapon is that it’s considered to be a very cheap weapon to produce. It is widely known that the ninja stars were inexpensive because of the low costs of equipment needed to make them and their raw materials were easily accessible.
