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 martial arts training. Shuriken can be made from different materials and come in various shapes, each designed for specific throwing styles. The art of shurikenjutsu is often associated with ninjutsu, the skills and tactics of the historical ninja. While shuriken are primarily used for distraction or incapacitation, they also serve as a symbol of the stealth and precision that characterize the broader martial arts traditions of Japan.
