1.0 out of 5 stars
This is one of the worst books I have ever read!, September 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ninja Training Manual,the (Paperback)
This book is not a ninja training manual. Most of this book is on Karate. Ninjas don't use Karate, they use TAI-JUTSU! I suggest reading anything by Masaaki Hatsumi, Stephen K. Hayes, Jack E. Hoban, Doron Navon, Glenn J. Morris, Richard Van Donk, Charles Daniels, and Bud Malmstrom. Anyone of the Togakure Ryu teachers from above has written at least one book or article that shows what Ninjutsu and Tai-jutsu really are.

terrible, December 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Ninja Training Manual,the (Paperback)
This book is terrible. It shows karate techniques for most of the book,and the rest is about samauri sword fighting and a large section on the so- called "ninja death touch". For real ninja I reccomend Stephen Hayes' 5 book series starting with "The Spirit of the Shadow Warrior".

Masanari needs to read his history books, April 24, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ninja Training Manual,the (Paperback)
Masanari needs to read his history books before he lectures on what the origins of a whole society of people is. The book was well writen. Thats the only good I can say about it. Of ninjutsu there is no sign but the word. Taijutsu is a way of moving the body in a natural way. Ashida/Hunter (same person) Holds a karate stance and flexes his fingers. If you trained that way, you'd have arthritus within the week. No, ninjutsu is not only taijutsu. It encompasses many things. among them, Ninpo, Mikkiyo, as well as servival techniques. Ninjutsu is a way of life, but it is not include Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Dim Mak, etc.. Ninjutsu is an Art, not a combination of arts. You cannot have an art who's birth came before the invention of its components! Masanari read a book written by some one who is not trying to make money off of you. Visit the Japanes Ninja History Musems. They're Awsome
