How to Conceal Throwing Stars

One of the best qualities of Chinese throwing stars is that they are very easy to conceal. Unlike long blades or guns, there are a number of ways to have a throwing star ready for an attack without others being able to see, or even feel, the throwing stars on your body. Follow these steps to learn the techniques of throwing star concealment.

1. Assess from whom you're concealing the throwing stars. This might be the most important part of concealing throwing stars, or any weapon for that matter. An enemy on the street will have very different methods of detection than a policeman or, for that matter, your mom. Identify who might be looking for the throwing stars so you know how to conceal them.
2. Keep them out of plain sight at all times. If no one knows that you have throwing stars, no one will know to look for them. This means, keep them out of sight from all people who might report their existence. Even in the privacy of your home, you should not leave the stars out, if you truly want to conceal them.
3. Keep the stars in a case. If you want to carry the stars on your person, keep them in a case that allows you to hide them in places where you wouldn't want an accidental poke. The band of your pants is a good place to wedge the case into since it conceals the case of stars and allows for quick access. Also, think about places where an attacker will expose, such as your wallet, to conceal the stars effectively.
4. Use sleight of hand. If you really want to be vigilant, practice cupping the stars in your hands in a way that others won't be able to see. Get used to passing the throwing stars from hand to hand and placing them in and taking them out of pockets so that you can be prepared for any eventuality without giving away the fact that you're holding a weapon.
