Of course, our linguistic differences sometimes caused a little difficulty in teaching, but it was not a big problem for us. Shuriken-jutsu can’t be ex plained just in words. If you learn old Japanese martial arts, you must observe your teacher’s movement.

Danny observed my shuriken-jutsu very carefully and understood the meaning. After about three years of training with me, he acquired his sho-dan (black belt). He understands the essence of shuriken-jutsu. Now, he is back in his home in Texas, and has completed this book. This is the result of Danny’s hard training in Japan. Anyone who has an interest in the ancient Japanese martial arts should read this book.

You must not become attached to the idea of piercing the target.

If you do, you may desire more targets to pierce.

The heart that desires a target is the same as the heart that desires an enemy.
