Two or more

practitioners will want to work through a
number of scenarios. What if both Ninjas have throwing
knives? What if they are inside/outside, in the forest/city, or
in the day/night? Practicing realistic situations will prepare
the knife throwing Ninja for actual combat.
Once Ninja have mastered the basic skills at ten feet, and
have begun training with live targets, at least twice each
week (two of the three weekly training sessions), they should
still throw two hundred knives at their target. Mark or stake
off distances of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 feet from the target.
Some of the longer ranges will be difficult to manage inside.
This can also be performed with tape on floors or bright
spray paint on grass. The tape can always be removed from
the floor, and the spray paint will eventually wear away on
the grass. Begin to practice from these distances. Some
techniques will undoubtably prove to be better than others at
some ranges, but this also may differ from person to person.
It is up to practitioners to experiment and determine what
works best at a given range in a specific situation. Only
through actual practice and experience can useful knowledge
be gained.
