Throwing Knives, darts, chopsticks, axes etc are parts of the hidden/projectile weapons category (others include long, short, double, flexible etc with approx 72 variations therein) within our traditional chinese martial arts (such as Chuojiao Men, Liuhe Men and Yanqing Men) It is confusing how people get stuck solely in hand to hand combat sports as martial arts. In traditional martial arts we fight with everything and anything there is....that spirit is often lost in todays world... taipingins
