The Art of the Ninjas
I remember while I was in my primary school in the 80s, there was a sudden surge in the popularity of the ninjas. With their black costume, they were able to run above the bamboo trees, breathe underwater using bamboo sticks and disappear in the middle of an exploding gust of smoke.
I mean, as a kid, who wouldn’t fall for that ability? Those are the perfect skills to escape the evil clutches of school! The movies back then helped to promote these mythical martial arts, anyone remember the American Ninja?
And for the first time, I am spilling one of my long-kept secret. I had one of those throwing-stars (now I know it’s called a shuriken) made from the common zinc and I practised it on our kitchen door. You can still see the marks on the door even today. The weapon was okay, I mean it could stick on the door but not on a pig (yes, my friend tried it). Okay so now you know I’m part of an underground society of the 18th generation of ninjas and I have to kick you ass after you’ve read this post.
Anyway, after seeing the following shuriken -

I am wishing I had the internet back then! And for cheap! Only $7.95 ah! I’m sure I could kill that damn pig with this one. This is from the site, extremely-sharp.com, which has loads and loads of other weapons for your ninja skills. Among them are other ninja’s 1st class weapons like katanas, ninja swords, nunchaku, pocket knives and even lock picking supplies.
Truly this site is for those who wants to have all the weapons that the ninjas have and if you sign up for their monthly contest and newsletter, you will be automatically drawn in to receive a monthly prize and this month’s giveaway is a Mainline Throwing Knife Set (pic below). That’s like getting stuff for free.

They have different prizes every month and if you missed this month, don’t worry, you can still join in the next month. They change the prizes every month but just looking at their armour, I’m sure every month’s prizes are to die for.

Cool and I thot as a kid I was the only one who belonged to the underground society of the 18th generation of ninjas. LOL!
I had my shuriken made out of bottle caps and yes, it did stick to the doors too (with much screming from my mom, I tell you … hehehe)
