Ninja Gear & Weapons

The Shaolin Society cites the word "ninja" as originating from a Japanese word that is loosely translated as "concealed person." Ninja utilize special gear to perform covert operations.

  1. Clawed Weapons

    • The "neko-te" (cat's claw) is a set of blades that extends from the fingertips to cut an opponent. The "shuko" (tiger's claw) is worn on the palm or the bottom of the foot. Its prongs can be used to slice opponents or to climb rough surfaces.

    Kama

    • The kama is a sickle-shaped blade on a short handle. The blade can slice an opponent's skin or disarm him of his weapon. When attached to a chain, it can be swung to attack from long distances.

    Shuriken

    • Shuriken, or "throwing stars," are star-shaped objects with sharp edges. The ninja throws the shuriken to attack or startle an opponent.

    Tabi Boots

    • Tabi boots extend to just below the knee and have a split toe that separates the great toe from the rest of the foot. These boots were common footwear in 17th century Asia. Modern-day ninja wear them for tradition.

    Uniform

    • According to Martial Arts Gear, the shinobi shozoku outfit allows the ninja to move undetected in darkness. The pants are loose to allow movement but have ties around the knees and ankles to hold the pant legs close. The jacket is fitted with large pockets to conceal weapons.
