My moms and dads would not let me buy a metal shuriken, fearing, perhaps smartly, that I 'd unintentionally slice myself. Not disheartened, Also Found Here saved up my allowance for a practice set of foam stars. "Practice" entailed my jumping on the bed and tossing the stars around my bed room. I believed I was pretty badass.
By "real," he meant it was metal and could injure. The silver metal glistened when he took it out of the black velvet box. The star was stabby-stabby sharp, and we did what any kids would do: we took it outside to throw at a tree. The shuriken felt heavy in my hand, and I was already visualizing how it would slice through the air.
I felt a little embarrassed. This sort of thing didn't take place to martial artist Sho Kosugi in Vengeance of the Ninja (1983 ). Heck, this wasn't even like chucking those foam stars around my bed room. My pal's effort wasn't far better. We wound up jabbing the star in the tree's bark, pretending that we 'd let loose a magnificent throwjust like we had seen in the computer game we played and the films we saw.
Possibly this specific model needed to be used at close quarters. Maybe I didn't understand what I was doing. What I did understand was that truth might be such a letdown.
