How many of us prepared for ninja assassinations?

I was too busy avoiding quicksand

If you didn't have throwing stars in the late 80's, did you even want to survive a ninja attack?

it was a little bit frightening...

but they fought with expert timing…

So long as they keep approaching one at a time I should be fine

Only a ninja can destroy a ninja

I watched Gymkata about 600 times. Now if only I can find a Pommel Horse when they attack.

Still training to this day, just with more lower back pain.

You know, now that I think about it, Ninjas and their paraphernalia were a huge deal in the 80's!

I still do. And, i train my 12 and 15 year old for the inevitable attack.

I keep a ronin on retainer just for this contingency.

NEVER. BUT I DID PRACTICE MY DEVIL HORNS POSE IN CASE OF NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON. I WAS GONNA LEAVE A SICK SILHOUETTE ON THE SIDE OF MY SCHOOL, WHEN THE FLASH CAME.

Special go bag has throwing Starz, throwing knives, rope for quicksand, small flamethrower for killer bees and various things. Mandatory watch list for kids is Johnny Quest and Thundarr the Barbarian to prepare.

I’ve been more prepared, but I’m not totally unprepared

If you count hiding from my brother after he watched that week's episode of Kung foo, I have done alot of ninja training.

I’ve survived every attempt so far…

Little brother and I at first made, and eventually acquired "real" ninja stars from the surplus store, traced our outlines in chalk on Grandpa's wooden barn door, and honed our ninja skills thusly.

How can you post about GenX Ninja without Sho?

Every Saturday night after watching Bruce Lee movies and drinking copious amounts of caffeinated soda as a kid with friends.

I was terrified of being hit by ninja throwing stars.

I didn’t prepare for them in the sense that I was ready to defend myself against a surprise ninja attack, I prepared for them in that I was prepared to execute a surprise ninja attack

As a kid I used metal pliers to try to cut shuriken out of tin boxes. Couldn't make any of them fly straight. They were really shitty projectiles. It seems that being a ninja requires weapons made of metals and materials that were sadly unavailable to a 1980s kid.

Got into a fight when i was 8 and did the leg sweep…..and it worked perfectly! Im not sure who was more surprised me or him lol.

I had the suit the tabi and the throwing Stars

That scene in An American Ninja (I think that’s the title) where the daring granny got killed by a ninja after she threw a tiny smoke bomb to save her grandchild really traumatized me.

I chased a guy out of my house with a stick, does that count?

I am a 🥷

What do you mean 'prepared'? You need to keep preparing every day or you wont be ready when they finally attack!
