THIS IS THE THIRD OF THE NINJA009 SERIES.  I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST TWO
BULLETINS AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL...
 
***WARNING***
IN CALIFORNIA, THERE IS A LAW THAT PROHIBITS SHURIKENS.  IF YOU GET CAUGHT
CONCEALING ONE IN YOUR POCKET OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON YOUR BODY IN THE STREETS,
YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND THE OBJECT WILL BE CONFISCATED.  IF YOU ARE OVER 18
YEARS OF AGE, YOU CAN BE FINED AND SENTENCED A FEW MONTHS IN JAIL.  SO DON'T
BE STUPID ABOUT THINGS.  DON'T SHOW OFF WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
 
 
BACKGROUND ON SHURIKENS:
------------------------
THE SHURIKEN OR THE THROWING STAR HAS MAINLY ONE PURPOSE TO THE NINJA.  A
DISTRACTION FOR ESCAPE, MUCH LIKE THE SMOKE SCREEN.  THE NINJAS IN THE OLD
DAYS, USED THE STAR TO CREATE A DELUSION.  THE NINJA WOULD THROW THE STAR
IN A DIRECTION WHICH MADE A SOUND IN A TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION SO HIS OPPO-
NENT WILL BE SEARCHING YOU IN THE WRONG PLACES, THEREFORE YOU CAN ESCAPE.
IN MODERN MOVIES, I HAVE SEEN THEM USE IT TO KILL AN OPPONENT.  AS I HAVE
LEARNED FROM MY GRAND MASTER, THE SHURIKEN IS NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO KILL
MOST LIKELY, YOU CAN ONLY DAMAGE THE PERSON HIT BY THE SHURIKEN.  THEREFORE
IT IS ONLY USED AS A DISTRACTION DEVICE.  BUT, KNOW AS A FACT THAT SOME
NINJAS, ONLY A VERY FEW, WERE EXPERTS ON SHURIKEN THROWING AND WERE ABLE TO
KILL WITH IT.  THERE WERE EXACTLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF JAPAN WHO CAN
PROPERLY THROW A SHURIKEN.  THEY WERE AROUND IN THE 1500-1700 A.D.  I KNOW
THAT THERE IS NO ONEWITH AN AWL
OR SCREWDRIVER.  THEN, CLAMP THE SHEET METAL ONTO ACHING HOW TO THROW THIS THING.  I
WILL TEACH THE
BASIC METHOD OF THROWING THIS TOOL.  GRIP ONE OF THE POINTS WITH YOUR THUMB &
YOUR FORE AND MIDDLE FINGERS. TO AIM IT TO THE DESIRED OBJECT, LOOK AT THE
REST OF THE SHURIKEN THAT IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR GRIP.  THE HALF POINT FROM THE
TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR VISUAL POINT, IS WHERE THE TARGET SHOULD BE FOCUSED
AT.  WHEN YOU RELEASE IT, SNAP THE SHURIKEN WITH YOUR MIDDLE FINGER.  IF THE
SHURIKEN FLYS VERTICAL WITHOUT ROTATING HORIZONTALLY, THEN YOUR SHURIKEN IS
FAIRLY BALANCED.  PRACTICE THROWING THE SHURIKEN EVERYDAY, YOU CAN FIGURE OUT
OTHER  COMFORTABLE METHODS OF THROWING AND HITTING THE TARGET.  HAVE FUN...
