Chinese fa biu

Chinese fa biu

The Chinese fay biu is similar to the shuriken of Japanese origin but differs insofar as the construction may often be as innocuous as a butterfly paperweight. Thus passing undetected by would be authorities. The practice of the fay biu is not that unlike the Japanese shuriken and disputably often referred to as the precursor to the shuriken by some martial arts teachers.
