Warning: Ninja Stars are dangerous to throw. Throw at your own risk and they should never be thrown at others.

There's different types of Ninja Stars. This is a six point one and a four point one called a moon star.

Shuriken were not only used as a weapon, but ninjas also used them as distraction tools. When you throw them into the target it's not so important to make them stick into the target. The ninjas would throw them at Samurai's mask or eyes so they would have to dodge them to give the ninja a chance to use their own sword or other weapons to finish them off.

The Grip We use a pinch grip. Pinch one of the points between your thumb and index finger. Your thumb should line up with the point on the star.

The Throw With the throw, bring the shuriken to the side of your head and point your elbow at the target. Unlike a baseball throw that goes across your body, the star throw goes straight down and extends out to the target like your pointing at where you want to throw. The body rocks forward with the throw.
