How do you know that the Ninja Burglar isn't really the best ninja that ever lived? Maybe he is just saving his skills for his rivals... You never know. Then again, a really good ninja would have left no trace behind that he actually was there in the first place.

I think this is a good thing. If you ever get to the point where you find a practical use for one of those, it's probably a bad sign.
Occasionally I'll thow it at a cardboard box. Then get annoyed when it puts a divot into my living room floor.
granted, I may be alittle biased...I live in Japan and go to ninja/samaraii demonstrations because, well, THEY'RE FUCKING AWESOME!!! But the Cooler King wrote this:
"Suddenly (Or was it gradually? Really, who can remember?) the ninja began to slide in popularity. Were they overexposed? The victims of a conspiracy? Assassinated? All equally plausible."
Let me just say this: NOT ALL EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE ! particularly the last. The last ninja someday will be sitting in a rocking chair on top of a mountaing in Japan at the ripe young age of 230 shining a shiraken thinking about who needs to be killed next.
I prefer to believe that most ninjas (in the USA) have taken to the dark craft that has always been ninja like anyway...assassination & kidnapping. They don't want you to knw about them.
The ninjas in Japan, however, tend to be 10 year old kids openly wielding play weapons (sticks) in the park near my apartment. I'm still scared of them though.

I'm dumb.
you're just not making the noise. to get a ninja star to throw right, you have to make the noise. like, say, go "whoosh" or "fweh" or "shhhk" or something to make it fly better. we did a scientific study behinds a friend's apartment this one time to come to this conclusion.

My God man... My poor, innocent Converse box... You've just signed its death warrant.

naratu is heresy praise the eye and pass the ammunition. i can name alot of ninja heretical animation.
ninjitsu is the best art of espionag'e but in the open it is quite usleess. an amatuer knife fighter could easily kill a ninja in open combat. the weapon skills of ninja are fundamentally useless in a typical battle. their weapon styles is to strike and disapear not like life or death combat where the best man wins senario.
this is why old ninja families new other styles very well for an open combat situation. it also came in handy for a cover profession to remain hidden (ex many samuri families were ninja clans behind the mask").

actually, ninjutsu is one of the most well-rounded arts put there, featuring everything from armed weapons combat with swords,knives/daggers, staves, and a whole plethora of other weapons (including improvised), to unarmed combat, which includes some of the most deadly striking manuvers and grapples out there.
