		The Bo shuriken is thrown by holding it in the palm with the shaft resting between the first and second fingers.

		Her shuriken would also glow as they got closer to each other - I suppose this enchantment was meant to make it easier to retrieve them in any circumstances, but it allowed the Outsiders to track her easily.

		As reflected in the literal translation of the word shuriken itself, learning the proper method of releasing the blade is the most important aspect of shuriken throwing practice.

		There is a story (http://www.aikidofaq.com/stories/sensei.html) about several of O-Sensei's early deshi throwing shuriken at Hombu dojo, one of which happened to hit a young Kisshomaru, but there are a few problems I have with this story, so I tend to discount it as any real proof that O-Sensei did shuriken.
		Sokaku Takeda was reportedly proficient with shuriken, and I have heard from Abashiri Dojo members and elsewhere that it was Negishi Ryu that he knew as well.
		Because his father loved it, because he loves it, and because shuriken was an art all samurai practiced, Sensei decided to teach it as part of Iwama Ryu.

	E-Budo.com - Bo shuriken being sold on ebay
		If you're going to be throwing the same shuriken over and over, you want them a little thicker to hold up to the stress as the tips are more prone to shattering once they've been hardened.
		For a senban shuriken this is preferred because of the entire outer surface being a striking point, requiring a "cushion" of sorts inside.
		A complete hardening of the point is the way to go, with brittleness not as much of a factor to to the stress of impact being directed from the point of the shuriken to the rear, which remains unhardened and able to absorb force.

		I recommend bo shuriken as they're more difficult to throw and face less legal opposition due to their non weaponlike appearance.
		Bo shuriken are not illegal in most areas of the world because they have 2 points only.
		In general most countries where shuriken are illegal, the law states that the object must have 3 points or more and is generally known as a shaken (in some cases also as shuriken, but almost always the definition is at least 3 points).
