I was bold, trusting in my anti-virus software, and watched part of the video. He was basically saying how iron rods with one point sharpened were superior to throwing knife-looking weapons. I didn't recognize the Japanese words he used for them.
But they both amounted to darts. They stuck in wood, but not impressively. A good aspis would have caught them all. Never got to see the combat promised.
The warrior vs warrior combat has been discussed elsewhere, and to take a single hoplite from his phalanx and pit him against a trained assasin, is just silly. A hundred ninjas vs a hundred hoplites is a totally different thing, regardless. The hoplites knew how to deal with missile attacks. The ninjas weren't really front line infantry. Who cares, is the question that came to mind.
I didn't get a virus, I think, but what are all these Greek-looking horses marching across the bottom of my screen?? 8) I didn't watch but a few minutes of it. The cost in megabytes seemed extreme.
