Blocking

Thrown knives can also be knocked down, blocked, or
otherwise deflected out of the air with weapons, everyday
objects, or even by hand. Always evade the knife first, if

possible. In this way, if the block fails, no injury will result.
With a sword or staff, for example, a Ninja can simply sweep
the knife out of the air. If a weapon is not handy, then any
object (such as a book or even a kitchen post) can be used.
Timing is important. Y
Swatting knives out of the air by hand is dangerous and
not recommended to anyone who is not a highly trained
Ninja. This should be practiced with caution and with safe
practice knives. Concentrate on slapping the knife away
with the hand or the firearm. The tell-tale training blood will
tell how successful the attempt was.
