Very interesting page (http://www.secrets-of-shuriken.com.au/history.htm) that covers not only Shuriken but subsequent weapons inspired by Shuriken, such as the French Fleschette.

Wow. Cool link. Thanks.

I looked pretty hard but I could not find who the author was. I did note that the person who authored it talked about talking with Someya Sensei (a Japanese Shihan in the Bujinkan) and also noted Ed Green and Daniel Bowley as smiths. (both Bujinkan members) So I am concluding that it is a Bujinkan person but I am curious to know who.http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

Thanks for the link Carol! http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Nice peice of writing.

That's a well put together site about an interesting subject and he seems to tell it without getting all mystical-ninjarz on us :D.

Brian, the contact details are on this page here I think:

Thanks Sukerkin now why could I not find that page. :banghead: Now I see he has trained in Eskrima, Budo Taijutsu and currently is training in Meifu Shinkage Ryu. (at least that is what his bio said)

I have seen this site before but was unable to get to that origional index page.

Great article—thank you, Carol!

There's a saying in German that translates roughly as `The past is not past, the dead are not dead.' This article makes that case with eloquence and authority...

That was great!

Thanks Carol.
