Out of the many weapons that ninja used, the most famous one would surely be the throwing star, shuriken right? I know you fell in love with them when they appeared as a really cool weapon in Naruto.
However if you are a fan of ninja, you probably know that many people point out that the way they use it in anime and manga were not how they actually did. Some even say they were not used at all. lol
But then, what were they and how were they actually used?
So today, I will explain the theory of shuriken that I believe so far from all the research I’ve done about ninja. Please understand that this is not an absolute answer, but just a sharing of one study. I will first explain the history of shuriken, then the two different categories of shuriken by their shapes, and another two different categories for shuriken “skills” that might make you think,
“That’s counted as shuriken techniques too?!”
At the end of the video, I will also briefly talk about the クナイ kunai, the other throwing weapon that you might imagine a ninja using. By watching this video, you can understand about the tools that the ninja used, and enjoy their content even more.

I remember reading somewhere that samurai would train self-defense techniques for situations such as being suddenly attacked while eating a meal - they would throw the bowl of food at the attacker's face to distract them or blind them, while drawing their sword simultaneously. If at a table, they may also use the table as an obstacle to delay the opponent, for example kicking it into their shins. I didn't know these techniques were classified as shuriken-jutsu though.

@LeoMidori 2 года назад

Would've fallen into another classification. Samurai had a lot of different schools of martial technique they kept to themselves, though there certainly must have been some overlap between both ninja and samurai at some point. Knowing your enemy is a better way to make effective subterfuge or attacks or information gathering of course.

@gaijininja 2 года назад

Quarter a century ago when I trained in Ninjutsu, our Sensei taught himself to throw hiragata shuriken at a piece of wood 50mm (2”) wide. He started at his own body length away and practiced on and off for days. Then he took a step backwards and practiced for days again. He repeated this on and off over two years, until he had the strength and precision to hit an area of the board about head height 100% of the time. He could sink the shuriken almost to their centres into pine from 20m (66’). He was a complete nut job that thought he was a lot better than he actually was, but watching him perform this skill was mind blowing. Hirigata shuriken are not designed for anywhere near that distance. Yet he had the skill to make them deadly at that distance.

@sssentertainment 2 года назад

Admittedly, this is the first for me to hear "Hiragata Shuriken". I've long since understood it referred to as "Shaken Shuriken" (also referred as "Hira-Shuriken"). While the dominant categories of Shuriken are split into two, Bo-Shuriken & Shaken-Shuriken (or Hiragata / Hira-Shuriken), there is also a thrid category, referred to as "Teppan" shuriken, which is somewhat of a diamond-ish shape. Teppan-Shuriken is easier to fight with in the hand, than they are with throwing, unlike Bo-Shuriken and Shaken-Shuriken, which is designed largely with throwing in mind. From my research of Shuriken-jutsu, the popular translation of Shuriken is a "blade hidden in the hand", though deeper sources assert that a closer translation is "Blade released from the hand", or "Hand-released blades". Some sources, including Stephan Hayes, state that traditionally, Shinobi carried about 9 Shuriken, due to its religious association with 9 (Kuji-in), and that they did not carry 4 or 7 shuriken, because of the superstitious association of both numbers sounding like death (Shi). However, this can be debated. Various sources indicate that the tool's origins derive from China (such as the Lin Kuei, the Ninja's supposed predecessor), or even all the way back to India (such as the ancient Indian weapon called: Chakram). Of course, if this is true, then Shuriken traces further than the Muromachi Era, and all the way back to the Heian Era. The usage of the term "Shuriken" shows up in written records in the Muromachi Era. However, origins in martial arts styles and weapons are often up for debate, due to secrecy and oral history being lost over time. Two interesting tidbits: Shaken-Shuriken, which have holes in the center, could be tied together to become makeshift armor, similar to chain-mail, perhaps an obvious European influence. A practice of Samurai with Bo-Shuriken (and Shinobi, as well), is to end the throwing arm at the position where their sword (katana) is resting (the left hip). Therfore, the shuriken, whether it hits or misses the opponent, serves as a distraction, giving yourself enough time to draw your sword, and hopefully land a successful sword-strike, while your opponent is distracted with the shuriken. Lots of tidbits in this video I was not aware of. Thanks for the share. ^_^

@jeffreymonsell659 2 года назад

It seems ironic that they would not carry 4 or 7 because the number sounds like death.

@te9591 2 года назад

I could see 9 shuriken being used because 9 is the number of kitsunes tails. The shinto faith. Throwing a fast shuriken to distract from a very fast sword draw is interesting and believable.

@jonstevens802 2 года назад

From what I have read, hiragata and bo shuriken were used in construction of wooden homes in Japan. They were used to keep corners of the homes connected. The ends of both kinds would have been sharpened and driven into the logs and then another log would be put on top and driven down. I'm not sure if this is true but if it was then the hiragata would have started out with possibly only 2 points.

@davidsykes6584 2 года назад

I studied Ninpo taijitsu from the Bujinkan school years ago. As I learned it, the main purpose of the Hiragata-Shuriken was to 'poison' them - rusting them on purpose or using manure so that Tetanus would cause of death. Soldiers or guards would then know that to be scratched by one would result in death and it would help with escaping, as throwing them would discourage pursuit. So pretty much matches some of the examples you're using. I also learned that the Ninjato was more throw away sword versus the Katana (hence the straight blade versus the curved Katana), as it would also be used as a tool or even a prop to help climb walls.

@tomchien7692 3 месяца назад

How did they keep the poison off their own hands??? Unless they dipped it in poison after retrieving it from their storage pockets (which they likely wouldn't have time to if they were using it to distract / slow down followers while trying to escape which sounds like the main use case), they woulda had to have pre-dipped them and they don't have an obvious handle part to grab onto that doesn't contain a sharp edge that would need to be poison dipped.

@spacepirateivynova 2 года назад

The way I was initially taught shuriken was as a distraction device. Silently tossing them over someone's head so their attention is distracted in another direction. In this way, even a rock or stick could be a proper shuriken if used in that manner. The metal stars work better because they make a VERY un-natural sound when they land, the metallic clang they drop is designed to REALLY push the attention of a sentry. As you gain more experience, learn to climb over walls back-to-the-wall, that sort of thing... you get better and start using the more simple 'sharpened rod' shuriken which can be used a lot more different ways. As for putting a chase off? I think that caltrops would be a much more specialized instrument for that role. Shuriken are direct-use only in the most dire of circumstances.

@HarleyFirestorm 2 года назад

When I trained in Ninjutsu we were trained in the use of the Shuriken , but taught they were not a weapon as such but just a means of slowing down a pursuer. A lot of Ninjutsu techniques we were taught were not to stand and fight but to injure and flee, the techniques to snap the bones in the forearm were quite spiteful, as this would severely disable a Samurais ability to use a sword for life. I have trained in a few different martial arts, Ninjutsu is by far my favorite, very realistic in expectations of real life situations, when we done knife defense were told that if you fight someone with a knife expect to get slashed and stabbed and not to think you can take the knife, the realistic thing to do it is escape, I know its pointing out the obvious, but some martial arts seemed to focus on an unrealistic expectation that you can disarm someone without being injured.

@christianjosephkarner 2 года назад

To ditract the enemy. They are to light do do harm.

@TheHeroRobertELee 2 года назад

I doubt they were used at all by Ninja actually. It's far more realistic that they probably used rocks to distract opponents. Iron was way too valuable to be throwing at people while running away when the effectiveness of them was already lackluster. The Japanese during those times would prefer to hold onto their iron and use it for more useful things than throwing them at people for a distraction.

@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA 2 года назад

Agreed. I've practised with throwing knives, axes, spikes and stars. Not very effective beyond a 20 foot range. Completely for distraction and evasion. I can throw 9 in a row quickly and accurately, but would never rely on it for anything else but target practise. Now poison dipped is another thing, but, we don't live in ancient times.

@stompingpeak2043 2 года назад

I believe there were three real practical uses for the shuriken or throwables in these regions. One is they would be coated with a poison to incapacitate or slow down someone at range. Another would be to make a distraction by throwing it into a wall, escape or light. Then the last would be smaller throwables would be aimed at someone's spine or neck. So they could paralyze or kill someone quietly. Me personally I like small blades like a small and thin 3in throwing spike/blade. I always thought the shurikin looked very ineffective unless you have poison or a big 3 blade one. Where throwing weapons that are more like knives or spikes will actually do damage

There is a reference to tome-shuriken being thrown to graze the face of a guard but not stick in him, the shuriken used in this manner is to only slice him and then land quietly in the brush or sand. This would lead the guard into thinking he had been slashed by a ghost or invisible swordsmen and they would run off. The reference comes from a fantasy book though, can't say it's historically accurate. The bo-shuriken looks a lot more deadly now after having once seen a master throw a bamboo chopstick through plywood.

A very thoughtful presentation. I have always admired the deliberate thought patterns of the Japanese and the way that there is an artistic aspect to nearly everything.

It seems that the pencil-like weapons could also be used for stabbing as well as throwing and therefore be more practical in close combat.

When I learnt ninjutsu, the biggest surprise I had when we were taught to use the shuriken was that it can be effective weapon for close combat.

Your old job sounds a lot like working at the Japanese version of the Renaissance fair. Awesome man, awesome. Also my nephew is Awesome with throwing weapons the key is constant practice if you're obsessed with something and do it constantly you will be good at it

Hey, this is a really great video. I am interested in your sources or whatever you used to create this video. I am researching shuriken but I can't find many credible sources. Thanks.
