Shurikenjutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art focused on the use of shuriken, which are star-shaped throwing weapons. Practitioners learn various techniques for throwing these weapons accurately and effectively, often incorporating them into broader ninjutsu training. Shuriken can be made from different materials and come in various shapes, including the well-known four-pointed star. The art of shurikenjutsu emphasizes precision, timing, and distance. Training typically involves practicing with targets to develop skills in aim and control. While shuriken are often associated with ninjas, their use extends beyond stealth, as they can also serve as distraction tools or for self-defense in historical contexts.
