There's so much hatred in the martial arts community directed at this author, Ha Ha Lung, that I knew they must be trying to hide something. So I bought this book, BLACK SCIENCE and gave it a read. I ended up staying up all night reading it. The material in this book is unbelievable. So I bought the rest of his books and most of them were equally incredible. This is hard-core information on manipulating people. Insights you'd normally have to spend 8 years in college getting your PhD in psychology. Ha Ha Lung's books are packed with arcane secrets you won't find in other texts on martial arts. I think the reason he's so disliked is because he gives away the good stuff. I always look forward to his next book. NOTE: If you have this book you won't need to buy Mind Manipulation. They are the same book with a title change. Black Science is printed on better paper and will last much longer.

I just completed this book and I found it very engrossing in terms of how much information they present to you. I did not want to stop reading it every night because of how interesting the topics were that they discussed. From hypnotism and how it's used to what the Japanese have recently done to play "mind games". If your interested in any sort of "black science", this is definitely a great read that packs so much information in such a small book.

This book is a must read not only for martial artists, but for the regular person. This is especially true in our modern day and age where the mental manipulation may be greater now than ever due to increasing technological advancement and intrusion upon our privacy. We are being manipulated constantly from all angles - politicians, media propaganda, Madison Avenue, cults, religious & other 'authority' figures, and of course your modern neighborhood psychopath.

Knowing how people are so easily brainwashed and manipulated is key to discerning for yourself how to avoid being a victim yourself. The author does a great job of covering how the mind works and integrating how ancient and modern 'mind-slayers' use our own psychological hindrances and mind filters such as phobias, doubts, past traumas, prejudices, desires, insecurities and more to control us.

I really like how he integrates quotes from past masters, writers and strategists that apply to what he is talking about. For example this quote of Wu Ch'i (430-481 BCE) "One man willing to throw away his life is enough to terrorize a thousand" is so true today with what is happening in the so called 'War on Terror'. Seems like not much has changed. Or Sun Tzu - "To subdue an enemy without fighting is the greatest of skills" is so applicable today in how there is an silent war being waged on our minds daily.

Very insightful book with great real life examples to demonstrated the power of mind control and mind manipulation. Some of the information is downright scary but sobering nonetheless - psychotronics, electro-magnetic warfare, & especially about how our modern intelligence agencies have been (and probably still are) pouring millions of our tax dollars into mind control (ex. CIA project MK ULTRA) research, mind manipulation Black Ops, etc. This was back in the late 50's & early 60's, I wonder what they are doing now and how far they've come?

I obviously Highly recommend this book. Not sure why the good doctor gave such a bad review, maybe they don't teach the good stuff in school these days. Concerning his comments on NLP not working and Barack Obama using it, I wouldn't doubt it actually. A politician using NLP or some form of mind control to influence the populace... na would never happen!

This is why I have a hard time just watching the news, I can see right through most of the double speak and lies spat out. Many of the 'pundits' especially political ones use various hand gestures in combination with their speech patterns to influence the viewer. They call it programming for a reason.

I know some very successful people who have used NLP and have seen it used myself to great effect, but it doesn't feel right to me. It is manipulation of course, and of course it won't work on everyone, especially on those who know they are being manipulated or have strong clear minds.

This book doesn't actually teach you how to DO anything - it's either stating the obvious or just BS. For instance, Dr. Lung goes into depth describing how the Chinese Zodiac is used by "mind slayers" after decrying all superstition as paranoid delusion.

Don't waste your money. The product description and viewable pages make it look interesting, but it's not a valuable use of time or money. Would not be interested in any of Dr. Lung's other books.

I must say this book is chock full of useful tidbits about mental manipulation.
However one must have added information from actual training and other sources to become proficient.
Mastering or being on the path to master karate is a wonderful path, but also studying other arts to find similar principles and to solidify ones basic practice is even better.
I am not surprised that the only person to give a one star is a psychologist. I respect their profession. If they wanted to truly help people they would stop overcharging like everyone else in the medical and insurance fields.

Anyway, get this book and add to it with the official medical books on psychology. You will learn a lot.

There is a lot more to this world and reality than what trained experts know and believe. One just has to have the dedication to gain and practice the kowledge.

If you are interested in this book I would recommend Mind Manipulatin by the same authors but a different publisher. Just get that one. If you are told or tempted to get this book and that one DONT they are litterally the same book just from different publishers.

More like a history of mental warfare in the east, Black Science describes the ways that the ancient ninja proved to be so adept at survival in midevil Japan. Ninja at that time were hated and feared for their ability to enter an enemies stronghold unseen and undetected wreaking havoc and then disappearing into the darkness. As spies Ha Ha Lung explains how useful they were to the powerful men of their day for espionage and intelligence gathering as well as assasination. This book really gives the ninja their due respect as highly skilled masters of the art of mental warfare. They used any and all tools at their disposal to defeat their foe, unlike the samurai who followed strict codes of conduct of honor and duty, the ninja were taught to prevail by any means necessary using their intelligence to gain the advantage before completing their mission.

A must read for anyone interested in ninjitsu as this completes the skill set required to be a ninja master. Most people think that being a ninja is just wearing black and walking on your hands while throwing shuriken with your toes, this book shares how the ancient ninja sennin first developed mental capacities beyond the warriors of the day to ensure their survival in a violent period of japanese history.

This book is literally packed with information which is important for everyone to know. Dr. Lung takes his readers into ancient and modern manipulation techniques that are used on the general population by those in the know. From police to con men, those who have this information have an advantage on those who do not. This book is very eclectic in nature and covers many, many aspects of mind control and manipulation that most people have never even dreamed of and which everyone should know.

I whole heartedly recommend this book to everyone. This book is not just for those involved in the martial arts. It contains information that everyone should know about and be aware of. I plan on reading the rest of Dr. Lung's books also, as I was totally impressed with The Black Science. 5 Stars!!

Bohdi Sanders, author of Warrior Wisdom: Ageless Wisdom for the Modern Warrior

This is a informative book, that spends alot of time explaining early Ninja and martial arts mind set. I think it is informative, and it is a compliment to any mind study.

There is a picture on page 70 of my copy indicating how you can tell if someone is lying by looking at how their eyes move.

The description/info is reversed.

So remember this:

Right for Righteousness. Left for Liar.

Hope this helps!
