The nº 1 book for the serious student of traditional ninpo techniques. The pictures give you a clear idea of the technique and in combination with the explanation it is not to difficult to learn them.
This book is a great help for all students intrested in effective techniques and correct ninpo history.

This book is thorough, accurate, and is loaded with clear-cut information. I am studying under the Bushi Shinden Ryu system right now and this book is a pot of gold. It's easy to understand and has spectacular organization.
It is organized by rank, with sections on Ninja perspectives, history on Ninpo, and more.
Anyone studying Jujitsu (specifically, though there are other systems in here) or Ninutsu in general will get a lot out of this. It has many picture references and doesn't leave anything out.
The bulk of the book is going through the techniques, though there are pages dedicated to pressure points and ranking structures also (and of course, the history stated above).

Though this review will be read long after the events that have incited me to write it, at present (the time of my writing) there is only copy of this book being offered. The seller is "rare_esoteric_books" and their offering Ninpo Bugei Vol. 1 for $350. I sure if the true modern Iga shinobi warrior feels the "calling" from ancient ancestors, s/he will find a way to fit this bill. On the other hand, for someone like me, with a grip on reality and limited funds, this is mildly outrageous.
