Shuriken

Shuriken is also known as 'ninja star' or 'Chinese star'. Shuriken is also a weapon that involves good Chi flow and concentration for hitting the targeted area.

A long-range weapon used for silent death among ancient assassins. Shuriken means “hand hidden blade” which was a secondary weapon to the sword or spear. The shuriken would act as a distraction disabling the arm, leg or vision. Not only it could be thrown but the shuriken could be used as stabbing or slicing.

Many say it wouldn’t cause death but imagine a sharp edged “star” shaped object projected toward you at 50 to 100 mph hitting the throat, head, heart or major artery.
