From merely the cover of the book one can see what a charlatan Ashida Kim is. I am a martial artist and I can tell you that this book is a piece of junk. Ashida Kim is not a real martial artist. He cannot even spell the art he professes to study correctly. Its ninjutsu not ninjitusu. The moves he advises in this book are foolhardy at best and go downhill from there. Stay away from this book and all others by Ashida Kim.

.....Ashida Kim would be dead by now. This guy does not have a clue about Ninjutsu. Stay away from him , his books and his videos

Ok, I will get straight to the point and say that you should NOT buy this book. Ashida Kim is not Asian, and his name comes from 2 different countires (Ashida=Japan, Kim=Korea). Now, Stephan Hayes is also not Asian, but has practiced NinjUtsu. Ashida Kim does not even say in his books how he got to be a ninja. He writes this farfetched stories that couldn't even get published in a fictional book.

And this, this is the funniest. If you want a good book describing how a woman should fight, maybe a woman should WRITE the book?! I've seen females destroy this book, because of the lies he put in this book that will get a woman killed.

Save your money. You want NinjUtsu, not NinjItsu, go to Hatsumi or Hayes. Not Kim.

This book serves as a practical, easy to understand text on self protection for women. Valuable information is shared which allows even women with little martial art experience to defend themselves effectively. Escapes from stand up attacks and ground attacks are explained and illustrated clearly, as well as preventive measures for out-witting potential attackers. The origins of the female ninja explained in this text adds further to the richness of this work, adding an element of history that will intrigue the reader. Well done, Ashida Kim!

A nicely written book. While "Ninjitsu for Women" could work well as a stand-alone, it is quite helpful if you have read Ashida's other book "Secrets of the Ninja". Those two books, in tandem, create the ultimate course for the beginner Kunoichi.

Perhaps the best part of the book, was the history of the Kunoichi. It was interesting to learn how women became ninjas, and what their seperate titles were. I only wish that section was longer!
