How do I get good at throwing ninja stars?

Question

What type should I buy and how should I practice?

Answer 1

I would start by getting a decent star.  I got mine from Asian World of Martial Arts years ago.  They're not the best in the world, but they're pretty good, especially for the price:

I would not get a decorative one.  The best on there seem to be the 6 point star.

To throw it, throw it similar to a frisbee.  The blade should be verticle to the ground and the wrist flicks as the arm straightens out.  Keep it about level with your stomach.

It takes a while to get good with aim, accuracy, etc.  So keep practicing.
