Another weapon that was used by Ninjas is called kunai. It is one of the favorite weapons used by them and the main reason for that is that it was affordable and available. The thing is that this throwing knife has widely used for gardening and fieldwork but there is some difference between the kunai used by ninjas and the kunai used by peasants. The ninja kunai was shaper and Ninjas used the weapon of different sizes.
To choose your kunai may be a difficult task for you but, first of all, you need to pay your attention to different forms of them. There are large ones that are mainly used for stabbing and there are smaller ones that are used for killing by throwing. If the length of your kunai is 4 inches, then you can be sure that it can be used for stabbing. If it appears to be longer, then you can consider it to be a thrusting kunai. If you have a thrusting kunai, then you need to know that Ninjas used them more like a dagger.
If you have a throwing kunai, then the use of it can be similar to a throwing star. If you want to learn how to use a kunai, you need to learn some instructions. First of all, you need to find the point where your kunai balance perfectly. In other words, this point is generally called the center of gravity. Grab your kunai at this point between your thumb and index finger. You should see the blade in front of you. Try throwing the kunai with your arm first. If you see that you feel the blade, then you can continue with throwing it with the help of your elbow. Try staying confident all the time and you will see that your target will be hit precisely.
