'Ninjas' is the name of the first indoor throwing star range that will be opening this spring in not Japan, but in Lexington, Kentucky.
If the prospect of being able to toss throwing stars around indoors isn’t enticing enough, Ninjas has a ton of other reasons to visit, like its sake bar for those over the age of 21, over 500 different types of shuriken available for purchase, a blowgun range, plus it offers lessons to sharpen your star-throwing skills.
The site’s one-page website doesn’t divulge much more information than this so far, but there is an address for where the building will be located when it opens in early 2014. If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a ninja, this could be a fun place to start your journey.
