    Arrow Bo-Shuriken

    Bo-Shuriken

    Can anyone recommend a reliable website that sells bo-shuriken (for martial arts, not display)

    are you talking about the bujikan or ninjitsu spears? I would talk to your sensei...

    bo-shuriken are throwing spikes

    (a spear is a "yari")

    can not a spear be the same as a spike? Is not the spike and the spear both a pointed object of different sizes used in different ways? again consult your Sensei he or she will know the best place to get them. Good luck and be safe

    Thanks for the advice.

    P.S.
    Shuriken literally means “hand hidden blade”, so yari wouldn’t fall under this category. On a philosophical level you might be able to argue that they are the same… but other wise I don’t think you'll find many supporters of this idea.

    Apart from the fact that one is a few inches long and the other several feet, a shuriken is thrown and a yari is not, and that one is a polearm and the other isn't I would say that yes, they are precisely the same. Just like a rapier and a roofing nail, virtually interchangable.


    Twist, I notice that you list your real name as 'Niker Zoing' but sign your posts 'Dante Zoing'. Are either of these your real name?
