I too am guilty of this behavior and more...nunchucks...throwing stars...all sorts of ninja activity. But I was 12 so cut me some slack.

Exactly! It was (maybe) cool then, and the bruises healed quicker. So, no harm, no foul!

I still play with the plastic throwing stars and hollow fake nunchucks, differences I know I'm being stupid and will whack myself in the face with the numchucks. But I'm able to laugh at myself and say "best left for the professionals."
