This review is from: Tantojutsu: A Ninja Defense Technique (Paperback)

For anyone just starting out in the Bujinkan, this a good book to read. Jack has always been insightful and detail oriented, but with any martial-art book I've read there are things you just don't see. You need a skilled instructor to show you those details. This is a good referance book.

This title is definitely showing its age. I purchased it to keep the Ninpo book company on the shelf. The material is none too thought provoking. Save your money and buy Soke's book on knife and gun fighting.
