Japanese Throwing Weapons: Mastering Shuriken Throwing Techniques [DVD Includ

Muy bueno.

A great asset for a Shurikenjutsu practioner or anyone looking to get involved. A great-have for any Budoka looking to further their knowledge in classical Japanese martial arts.

Great book , good quality print

As a long time student of Shuriken jutsu, I can honestly say that Daniel Fletcher's book is the most accurate and comprehensive work on the subject that I have seen. He takes you through not only the basics, but also the more advanced throws in a way that makes them very accessible to everyone from the first timer to the experienced martial artist. His explanations and demonstrations show the real combat aspects of Shuriken jutsu that most people never get to see... it's not just trying to hit a target, there's a lot more to it.The DVD was a totally unexpected surprise. It's one thing to see martial arts books showing still pictures and word descriptions of techniques (even really good books like this one), it's another all together to be able to see these different things in action. The DVD is easily worth 3 times the price of the book alone; This book is WAY under priced.Not only do you get to see the Author expertly demonstrating the techniques and concepts, but you also get to see Otsuka sensei, current Grand master of the Meifu Shinkage ryu Shuriken jutsu school throwing different types of blades.One thing missing from the book is mention that there is now a branch of the Meifu Shinkage ryu in America. It's located in California at www(dot)california-msr(dot)com.If you have even a passing interest in pointy things from Japan, this book is an absolute must-have. I have made it mandatory reading for all of my Shuriken jutsu students... it makes my job a lot easier.

It's not often that i leave reveiws, but i've been trying to track down a shuriken jutsu book for some time now, i've been searching for a few months and as a fully trained martial artist in ninjutsu, i have many books, but i think this is my favourette, it even comes with a nice little dvd that shows you the jutsu, brilliant stuffGreat price 10/10
