## Description

Master the Japanese art of shuriken throwing with this illustrated martial arts guide. Japanese Throwing Weapons: Mastering Shuriken Throwing Techniques is a detailed instruction manual for learning authentic shuriken throwing techniques as practiced in Japan, known as shuriken-jutsu. Daniel Fletcher studied under Japan's most notable shuriken sensei, Yasuyuki Otsuka, of the Meifu Shinkage Ryu and in this knife throwing book he reveals the secrets learned in his years of study and training. Fletcher explains the origins and purpose of the shuriken as a weapon and provides information on the various types of shuriken used by the historical samurai and ninjas. Fletcher's expert instructions, along with over 200 photographs and the enclosed DVD can help anyone become proficient with Japanese throwing techniques. Weapons instruction includes: Shaken Shuriken —The most familiar of the shuriken family, this sharp-edged, star-shaped weapon is the one typically seen in martial arts film. Bo Shuriken —Shaped like a spike, easy to manufacture, economical, and convenient to carry, this simple weapon is a staple in the arsenal of the Japanese warrior. Teppan Shuriken —A multi-purpose weapon made from iron plates, it can take a variety of shapes and is used both for throwing or hand-to-hand combat. All media content is alternatively accessible on the Tuttle Publishing website.

Review: A Must for the Shuriken Enthusiast - My name is Kenneth Smith, writing a review under my girlfriend's account. I am an amateur shurikenjutsu practitioner and enthusiast that has been throwing blades for six years now. I have found this book full of insights and detailed information which have helped me to improve my form and technique. More importantly--through reading this book, I have acquired a deeper understanding of the true mindset: the ZanShin of shurikenjutsu.The author, Mr. Daniel Fletcher, is a personal student of Yasuyuki Otsuka sensai: Soke of the Meifu Shinkage Ryu. Otsuka sensai is well known as the worlds' authority on shurikenjutsu and is featured throughout the book. He personally demonstrates in a step by step format the methods for throwing Meifu Shinkage Ryu, Chishin Ryu, Shirai Ryu, Tsugawa Ryu and Negishi Ryu shuriken. As well as the method for throwing Jujiken (shaken or "wheel blade"). Mr. Daniel Fletcher, having a background in the Bujinkan, also demonstrates the proper method for throwing Togakure Ryu senban in the horizontal ("Teppan nage") and overhand vertical throw. Mr. Fletcher also reveals the very secretive technique for throwing matsubagata of the Iga Ryu, as well as describing the method of throwing traditional kunai. Hand to hand combat principles and forms with shuriken ("shoken-jutsu") and shuriken and arrow avoidance skills ("yadone") are also covered. There are many more martial treasures to be discovered within this book, but if that was not enough, the dvd edition comes with footage of Mr. Fletcher demonstrating many of the Meifu Shinkage Ryu forms and techniques along with rare footage of Otsuka sensai in action. This book is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in the AUTHENTIC art of shurikenjutsu.
Review: Excellent Guide - I've been knife throwing for a few years and I wanted to branch into other throwing weapons for some variety. This book had the highest rated reviews and the additional DVD sold me. I decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed. Even if the DVD hadn't been included, I could have figured out how to throw these weapons accurately and correctly because of the perfectly detailed throwing explanations, along with excellently positioned photographs. Many throws are photographed from different angles, which is an absolute necessity because body position is so important with many, if not all, of these techniques. More books and guides need to do this and I hope the example set by this book is picked up on by authors of others. The additional history of the weapons, the various schools, and how each school used a variety of these weapons was just icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is either just starting out with throwing weapons or is already fairly experienced because short of actually going to Japan to learn, this is the absolute best you will find.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent so far!
*by J***. on July 13, 2021*

Honestly i was not expecting too much whne i ordered this book, except maybe some historical perspective i was not familiar with. Received it and thumbed through it, surprised by the quality of the book for the price. The material is excellent, and presented well. I am fdamiliar witha good bit of it, having stuidied various martial arts for years, and weapons in particular, the explanation of the classic patterns of shuriken was interesting as it included details i had not heared before. What got my attention was the authors eye toward practical historical aplications, and likley adaptations of common items as weapons- this is how a warrior thinks. His focus on the proper SKILLS of throwing a projectile, and not the oft- implied semi magical powers of the object itself ( " balanced for throwing") is heartening. There are several thoughts i'd ;like to share, but will finish the book and update this review. In the meantime, if youa re considering this book as a foundation to buiild a skill, it looks like a great place to start.
