The ninja weapons are used by the ninjas that roam Japan's countryside and help protect the people from evil forces that want to destroy Japan. The art of ninjutsu is an ancient technique that dates back almost a thousand years. It has been taught for many centuries within Japan's ancient martial arts culture, which includes karate, jujitsu, and more.
Most of the weapons used by ninjas were created because of the need to be silent. Some of these tools were used in specific assassinations and others were used for self-defense against an enemy. For example, ninja shuriken is small stars with sharp points on them that can be thrown at an opponent.
They can be thrown up to 100 feet away, but there is a chance that they will not hit their mark when thrown this far. They are packed with poison in some cases, like the syringe shuriken, which is usually packed with poison inside them and must get under the skin of their opponent in order to kill them.
Stealth
As opposed to their samurai counterparts, ninjas operated without much - if any - armor, which became a necessity for stealth. They were able to get close undetected, make an unexpected kill, and slip back into obscurity because of their garb - whether it was the black getup popularized by modern media or a situationally appropriate disguise.
Ninjas might think stealths are their best ninja weapon. Ninjas could have big problems if they are detected or confronted by multiple enemies, especially if they are in a group. In addition to training in the art of disappearance, the ninja was equipped with firearms, tools, and other equipment to keep them hidden.
Kunai Knife
During media adaptations of modern ninja such as Naruto, which is based on a storyline of the same name, the kunai has been portrayed as more like a throwing knife than the name-bearing predecessor.
Known to be the Swiss Army knife of the ninja, the kunai descends from a common masonry trowel. If necessary, it could be used in combat, as well as pried, dug, and provided for purchase.
The Kunai has been designed for climbing and scaling of all sorts, with its extended handle and ring that could be used for grappling and repelling. Together with the ashiko, wooden walls could not be climbed.
Bo(Staff)
This reminds me of the six-foot-long staff of Donatello from the Ninja Turtles, but I recently discovered that the staff could also be partially hollow, providing some surprises.
Staff can conceal tantos, daggers, and other short weapons.
With a quick flick of the wrist and a poisonous dart concealed in the end, a death blow might be delivered with ease.
In addition, it was reported that chains remained hidden at the end of bos to entangle the weapons or limbs of opponents in order to counterattack.
Its simplicity and availability make it a great weapon. With practice and hardwood or bamboo, anyone could fabricate one and become competent with the final product. Then it was a matter of becoming an expert or deadly.
In order for a staff to be effective, leverage is key. When you move your wrist from one end to the other, you increase your power. A flick of the wrist accompanied by contortions of the torso and a powerful drive from the feet creates six feet of fury that hurtles toward the victim.
Bows and Arrows
As weapons, bows and arrows date back to prehistoric times, use natural materials, and can be used at range and still maintain the stealth element.
Ninjas weren't the first people to use firearms, but the archery and bow combo remained popular throughout history. The arrowheads of these ninja weapons were often dipped in various poisons to enhance their lethality as well, making even a shot off-target lethal. That is a very familiar mechanism!
Kusarigama
This tethered weapon, literally "chain-sickle," could be used at close and medium distances. The weapon was usually used for attacking an opponent by swinging the iron weight in lasso-like circles above their heads before sending the iron weight flying at them to entangle their weapons or their limbs.
Even though this weapon is a bit heavier and less maneuverable than the nunchaku, it does have a few more useful features. It is fascinating that Michelangelo is sporting a kusarigama instead of a traditional nunchaku in the most recent version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Which weapon best suits you?
The list of these best ninja weapons may not provide the full picture of the deadly ninja, but hopefully it makes you aware of the weaponry's history, enlightens you as to its features, and opens your mind to an altogether different means of devastation and destruction.
Each of these weapons is impressive on its own. There are still many people who use some of these weapons due to the long list of benefits they offer. Each individual has different tastes, so they will be able to decide which weapon is best for them.
