Consumer Beware!- I visited a book store not to long ago, and sadly, discovered this book. I am a fast reader and I reviewed half of the book and skimmed the rest. I train in reasonable Ninjutsu. This American Ninjutsu book has nothing to do with the tradition of ancient Japanese Warriors. These guys must have seen too many American Ninja movies! These techniques in this book will only result, if used, in the reader being hurt and demolished by attackers. This book contains "holes" in techniques and too many steps that put a user in extreme danger. Word of the wise, a good Ninja would waste no time taking out an attacker or a threat and they would diminish the possibility of being hurt themselves.

This book clearly demonstrates with excellent pictures and text defensive techniques for a wide range of self defense situations. The authors have extensive experience as teachers in the military as well as civilian law enforcement. While the term ninja could be a bit misleading since this book is not related to the traditional japanese assassins, the techniques are effective and clear.
