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.

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 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

This book is for real ninjas, PERIOD. The kind of silent ninja that lurks in trailer homes and makes awesome youtube videos of neat sword slices and being invisible. If people see this in your library they will be immediately scared of you, and will understand that even if you live on a steady diet of beer and cigarettes you are still a very focused and spiritual young fellow. RIP Master Splinter.

If you want a book about the training of Ninjas then this book is for you.

Tai-jutsu is ninjutsu only? You have to be kidding me. Just another ashida basher. Ninjustsu is composed of many martial arts and coincides with warrior way/warrior spirit. Ever learning. A ninja doesn't derive from one art. If you don't understand this then how do I even begin to go on from here.

When I first bought this book, I was alittle thrown off cause I was training in a Bujinkan dojo. But I noticed the symble on at the begining of the book was a source for many of the principles and techniques like we practice in the Bujinkan. It's a very good book you just have to learn to look for the more suttle lessons in it.

well i have been studying the art of ninjitsu since the age of 9 ever since i have admired it i was fortunate enough t have my personal sensei but for those who dont have one this is a good book u can not learn everything but some tricks are quite useful

i have studied the art of ninja for 8 years and i have only read one book that is better. i recomnd this book to the ninja that is searching for the anwsers of the questions you ask yourself.
