A Karate man dressed in a Ninja suit does not make a Ninja, February 12, 2001
This review is from: Ninja Shuriken Manual (Paperback)
Takayuki Kubota ia a name highly respected in Martial Art circles but this book is not to be highly respected. Obviously Sensei Kubota has tried to cash in on the Ninja craze of the 80s. The book is a very bland account of the use of the shuriken and the Ninja clad Kubota is presented to us (especially Ninjutsu practioners) as a bit of a joke. All throwing stances and grips are shown along with the 2 last meagre chapters on meditation. Ninja fans look for a book by a true Ninja master for guidance or more correctly take lessons. A poor buy!

This review is from: Ninja Shuriken Manual (Paperback)
Soke Kubota was raised in a ninja society. This book is meant as an introduction to and is not intended as a complete manual. Anyone who would call Soke Takayuki Kubota a mere sensei has either little training in the martial arts or has never advanced far enough to learn any respect.
