NINJA TRUTH Episode 3: Shuriken
The ninja employed over 400 special weapons and tools to accomplish their missions, and the shuriken is undoubtedly one of the most famous. In this episode, we'll examine not just how the shuriken was thrown, but ninja techniques for throwing it with a string attached, and using it defensively. The ninja also devised various throwing techniques such as "yoko-uchi," "hon-uchi," and "gyaku-uchi." We'll use cutting-edge science to examine their uses, and use the shuriken to draw closer to the ninja truth.

NINJA TRUTH Episode 4: Ninja Yashiki
The ninja were often given the important mission of infiltrating enemy territory and bringing back key information. Meanwhile, their own residences were cleverly rigged to thwart intruders and hide the information they'd acquired. In this episode, we'll examine the secrets of their residences, including trap doors, lookout posts, sword compartments, and hanging ladders, using action-packed reenactments. We'll also examine the psychological effect of these residences.
