THIS IS THE THIRD OF THE NINJA009 SERIES. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST TWO
|
|
BULLETINS AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL...
|
|
|
|
***WARNING***
|
|
IN CALIFORNIA, THERE IS A LAW THAT PROHIBITS SHURIKENS. IF YOU GET CAUGHT
|
|
CONCEALING ONE IN YOUR POCKET OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON YOUR BODY IN THE STREETS,
|
|
YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND THE OBJECT WILL BE CONFISCATED. IF YOU ARE OVER 18
|
|
YEARS OF AGE, YOU CAN BE FINED AND SENTENCED A FEW MONTHS IN JAIL. SO DON'T
|
|
BE STUPID ABOUT THINGS. DON'T SHOW OFF WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BACKGROUND ON SHURIKENS:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
THE SHURIKEN OR THE THROWING STAR HAS MAINLY ONE PURPOSE TO THE NINJA. A
|
|
DISTRACTION FOR ESCAPE, MUCH LIKE THE SMOKE SCREEN. THE NINJAS IN THE OLD
|
|
DAYS, USED THE STAR TO CREATE A DELUSION. THE NINJA WOULD THROW THE STAR
|
|
IN A DIRECTION WHICH MADE A SOUND IN A TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION SO HIS OPPO-
|
|
NENT WILL BE SEARCHING YOU IN THE WRONG PLACES, THEREFORE YOU CAN ESCAPE.
|
|
IN MODERN MOVIES, I HAVE SEEN THEM USE IT TO KILL AN OPPONENT. AS I HAVE
|
|
LEARNED FROM MY GRAND MASTER, THE SHURIKEN IS NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO KILL
|
|
MOST LIKELY, YOU CAN ONLY DAMAGE THE PERSON HIT BY THE SHURIKEN. THEREFORE
|
|
IT IS ONLY USED AS A DISTRACTION DEVICE. BUT, KNOW AS A FACT THAT SOME
|
|
NINJAS, ONLY A VERY FEW, WERE EXPERTS ON SHURIKEN THROWING AND WERE ABLE TO
|
|
KILL WITH IT. THERE WERE EXACTLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF JAPAN WHO CAN
|
|
PROPERLY THROW A SHURIKEN. THEY WERE AROUND IN THE 1500-1700 A.D. I KNOW
|
|
THAT THERE IS NO ONE IN THIS WORLD, NOW, WHO CAN THROW A SHURIKEN AND ACTUAL-
|
|
LY KILL ANOTHER TRAINED NINJA. MOST MODERN NINJA HAS THE KEEN HEARING ABIL-
|
|
ITIES AS THE OLD NINJA, SO THEY CAN HEAR THE SHURIKEN CUT THE WIND. SO THEY
|
|
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT CAME FROM, AND AROUND HOW FAR AWAY IT WAS THROWN. I
|
|
DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEACH METHODS OF HEARING BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST IN MY LATER
|
|
SERIES. WELL...ANYWAYS...
|
|
|
|
|
|
SHURIKEN
|
|
--------
|
|
THE OLD WAY OF BUILDING THIS WEAPON IS A VERY COMPLICATED TASK. FIRST YOU
|
|
MUST BUILD A LIMESTONE FURNACE, WHICH TAKES ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THEN, YOU CAN
|
|
START BUILDING YOUR WEAPONS. YOU MUST ALSO KNOW HOW TO FORGE THE WEAPON.
|
|
THEREFORE, I CANNOT REALLY TEACH YOU HOW TO MAKE IT THE OLD WAY. BUT LATER ON
|
|
IN THE SERIES I SHALL TEACH YOU HOW TO BUILD A FURNACE AND HOW TO BUILD WEAPONS
|
|
THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. BUT THIS TEXT WILL TEACH YOU A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE
|
|
METHOD OF BUILDING AND SHARPENING ONE.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- A SHEET METAL OF AT LEAST 3/16" THICKNESS.
|
|
- A HACKSAW OR SOME OTHER CUTTING DEVICE.
|
|
- A SHARPENING STONE, HARD ( NOT SOFT ARKANSAS ).
|
|
- A STEEL MALLET ( A HAMMER SHOULD DO ).
|
|
- A VISE
|
|
- AN ANVIL OR SOME OTHER FLAT METAL SURFACE.
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
HOW TO MAKE IT
|
|
--------------
|
|
IT IS QUITE SIMPLE THE MODERN WAY, IT ONLY TAKES A FEW HOURS AT MOST. FIRST,
|
|
YOU MUST DRAW THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF SHURIKEN YOU WANT ON A PIEC OF PAPER.
|
|
AFTER YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR DESIRED SHAPE, DRAW IT ONTO THE METAL WITH AN AWL
|
|
OR SCREWDRIVER. THEN, CLAMP THE SHEET METAL ONTO THE VISE. CAREFULLY CUT
|
|
OUT THE SHUIKEN. SOMETIMES IF YOU USE THICK SHEET METAL WITH A HACKSAW, THE
|
|
SAW BLADE TENDS TO GET WARM AND SOMETIMES START TO WARP, SO APPLY SOME KIND
|
|
OF LUBRICANT OIL AND IT SHOULD REDUCE THE FRICTION THAT CAUSE THE HEAT. AFTER
|
|
YOU CUT OUT THE SHURIKEN, THEN YOU MUST START MAKING THE EDGES SHARP. START
|
|
HAMMERING DOWN THE POINTS OF THE SHURIKEN. AFTER A FEW POUNDINGS, THE POINTS
|
|
SHOULD BE A BIT FLATTER THAN THE CENTER OF THE SHURIKEN. THEN START WORKING
|
|
ON THE SIDES OF THE POINTS. BUT REMEMBER NOT TO GO TO DEEP INTO THE CENTER OF
|
|
THE SHURIKEN SINCE THE CENTER SHOULD BE THE SAME THICKNESS AS YOU STARTED WITH.
|
|
AFTER YOU START SEEING THE EDGES BECOMING GROUNDED, THEN STOP THE POUNDING.
|
|
GET THE SHARPENING STONE. AT FIRST JUST GRIND THE SHURIKEN IN A CIRCULAR
|
|
MOTION NEAR THE TIPS OF THE POINTS. AS YOU BEGIN FEELING THE POINTS SHARPEN,
|
|
WORK ON THE SIDES. KEEP WORKING ON GRINDING THE STEEL, UNTIL AN EDGE BEGINS
|
|
TO FORM. MAKE SURE YOU SHARPEN BOTH SIDES EVENLY. WHEN THE EDGE BEGINS TO
|
|
FORM, THEN YOU MUST SHARPEN THE SHURIKEN WITH CAREFUL STROKES. YOU MUST NOT
|
|
FORCE THE SHURIKEN TO SHARPEN. YOU MUST STROKE THE SHURIKEN BACKWARDS. NEVER
|
|
PUSH IT FORWARDS TO SHARPEN IT OR YOU'LL LOSE IT'S EDGE AS YOU TRY TO DEVELOP
|
|
IT. STROKE IT BACK FOR A WHILE, UNTIL THE POINTS BEGIN TO GLARE. AFTER AN
|
|
HOUR OF STROKING, THE BLADE SHOULD BE COMPLETE. WHEN YOU FIRST TRY TO BUILD
|
|
THIS THING, YOU MIGHT NOT GET A WELL BALANCED SHURIKEN. AS A MATTER OF FACT,
|
|
WHEN I BUILT ONE THIS WAY, IT TOOK ME TEN TRIAL SHURIKENS BEFORE I GOT A
|
|
DESCENTLY BALANCED ONE. ALL IT TAKES IS PRACTICE. YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THAT
|
|
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
|
|

|
|
THROWING TECHNIQUES
|
|
-------------------
|
|
I CAN WRITE A WHOLE BOOK IN TEACHING HOW TO THROW THIS THING. I WILL TEACH THE
|
|
BASIC METHOD OF THROWING THIS TOOL. GRIP ONE OF THE POINTS WITH YOUR THUMB &
|
|
YOUR FORE AND MIDDLE FINGERS. TO AIM IT TO THE DESIRED OBJECT, LOOK AT THE
|
|
REST OF THE SHURIKEN THAT IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR GRIP. THE HALF POINT FROM THE
|
|
TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR VISUAL POINT, IS WHERE THE TARGET SHOULD BE FOCUSED
|
|
AT. WHEN YOU RELEASE IT, SNAP THE SHURIKEN WITH YOUR MIDDLE FINGER. IF THE
|
|
SHURIKEN FLYS VERTICAL WITHOUT ROTATING HORIZONTALLY, THEN YOUR SHURIKEN IS
|
|
FAIRLY BALANCED. PRACTICE THROWING THE SHURIKEN EVERYDAY, YOU CAN FIGURE OUT
|
|
OTHER COMFORTABLE METHODS OF THROWING AND HITTING THE TARGET. HAVE FUN...
