My First Attempt at Shuriken-Jutsu

I've got lots to learn about throwing shuriken. First: I need to buy real shuriken. I can modify existing material that can come close. But, real is better. Next, I have to pay more close attention to form. Power isn't necessarily the key. In fact, I had better luck when I didn't try so hard. Breath control and relaxation makes for good accuracy. Fine tuning the shuriken for balance is an art in itself and I'm going to have to spend a lot of time adding weight and shaping the "handle" in order to control the parabolic motion of the flight path.

that is not shurikens, shuriken is ninja star

@mineralin641 Sorry, but you're wrong. The star-shaped throwing blades are called "shaken" (pronounced: 'shaw-ken'). Search YouTube for other videos with "bo-shuriken" as a keyword. You'll find plenty of straight, dart-like weapons such as the ones I'm using.

i like how humble you are in your videos and you are not far off from being a natural shuriken thrower. this is just my opinion as an amateur american thrower and by my standards

@castout47 Thanks so much for your kind words. I do my best to learn by starting all my endeavors from the bottom and work my way up. I could easily spend the rest of my life developing basic techniques.

@pokemon940 i learned that if you "borrow" those metal H's that signs are stuck on, you can make 6-10 spikes of one, depending on length. there easy to sharpen and if you bend it it straightens out easily. plus that ridges on them give some friction.

good effort dude keep practicing

[erniesbudolab]

@pokemon940 Define cheap? If you don't have a large budget, make your own expendable ones. Remember, though: You get what you pay for. Cheap shuriken usually don't hit their targets well or at all.
