INTRODUCTION
A knife is the first weapon given to a Ninja. He or she
learns Tanto-jitsu, knife art. As well as becoming an expert
in hand-to-hand combat, a Ninja learns to throw knives, as
well as many other objects. But some knives are designed
specifically for throwing. With such specialty knives, the
Ninja knife throwing expert is particularly dangerous.
Normally, a Ninja carries four such throwing knives as well
as a
combat knife
which could be thrown if necessary.
Ninja throw knives, primarily, to achieve three goals:
To distract.
To wound.
To kill.
With practice and hard work, a Ninja can learn to
accomplish all three of these goals, but the last purpose is
difficult to achieve, and requires the utmost skill and
dedication. This book was developed for practicing Ninja
who wish to round out their training. Only western style
throwing weapons are covered. For information on oriental
throwing devices, a serious Ninja should obtain a copy of
Throwing the Ninja Star of Death,
the companion edition to
this book, which was also written by Michael E. Peters and
published by Butokukai.
