A typical lesson will have the following format:
- 10:50 - Students arrive at Shinobi Shurikenjutsu wearing suitable outdoor clothing.
- 11:00 - The instructor will welcome students and explain the lesson structure, basic safety guidelines and the range layout.
- 11:05 - Initial instruction will be given on how to throw. We usually start students on angel axes as they are light weight and have several edges to increase the chances of the axe sticking into the target.
- 11:10 - Practice begins! All students will throw a set of 3 knives, axes or bo shuriken at the wooden target rounds from a 3 metre distance. Hints and tips will be given throughout to improve the students technique.
- 11:30 - Competition time! Three knives, axes or bo shuriken per person to see who can gain the highest score.
- 11:40 - On to the Hawks! Full sized tomahawks with a single cutting edge. These are more challenging to throw than the angel axes but deliver a very satisfying "Thunk" when they stick in the target.
- 11:50 - Hawk competition! 2 hawks per person to see who can gain the highest score.
- 12:00 - Lesson ends and students depart.
