Book Description

March 1985
Pass through the dark night of the soul and, like the Ninja, become a mystic-warrior of the shadows. To be a Ninja, one must be strong, one must know, one must dare, and one must be silent. To assist you in your quest for knowledge of the Silent Way, Ninja author Ashida Kim presents sections on exercises, strategy, fighting techniques, and ceremonial oaths of initiation. BACK IN PRINT AFTER TEN YEARS! CONSIDERED TOO DEADLY FOR PUBLICATION! *Ninja Sword: Concealment Carry and Quick Draw *Walking Staff: Hidden Weapons Within *Retrievable Stone: Flexible/Entangling Weapons *Throwing Stars and Knives *Ninja Garrote: Strangling Techniques *PLUS: Kappo: The Art of Resuscitation *Death Touch: Vital and Fatal Points AND MORE!!!! You too, can master this ancient and forbidden art of self- defense. Every finger is a dagger, every hand a sword, every arm a spear. Thus, is the Way of the Ninja. . .

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, March 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Fighting Techniques of the Ninja (Paperback)
This book is a joke; it is completely nonsensical and an insult to one's intelligence, not to mention Asian culture. Not only is this person completely unethical for writing such a book, he is also shameless to the point of pitifulness. If this book was written as a joke, fine. If not, shame on you "Mr. Kim".

1.0 out of 5 stars The only thing "Forbidden" should be this book!, August 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Fighting Techniques of the Ninja (Paperback)
Thank God it's out of print! Ashida Kim is basically a trap for making money. No real Martial Arts or Mind/Meditation aspects are in any of his books. Please don't waste your money on his books. The only thing you'll get out of any of this garbage is less space in your bookcase and a lighter wallet. Take the time to search out real practitioners of this or any art.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Good About It, April 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Fighting Techniques of the Ninja (Paperback)
I felt bad giving one star to this book. It doesn't deserve it. This book is great for bloodthirsty wanna-be's and other miscreants. It is valuable only as an example of what ninja arts are not. From a martial art perspective, it contains no orginal material. Some people might like it. I think Ashida (funny name for a white guy) is a fraudulent sham.
