This review is from: Taijutsu Tactics: Ninja Close-Quarter Grappling (Paperback)

I bought this book simply because it has a ( useful/good ) chapter on flexibility and pressure-points for healing. It is a very small book ( 104 pages ), and the author has a quality mind and is systematic/fairly-clear. Charles Daniels' Taijutsu gives a better sense of the way an integrated human ought move, but uses significantly more book to do so. IF you know aikido++ and want to get a feel for taijutsu this'd probably sketch it well enough, otherwise it's so small as to only describe it a bit. I look forward to other work by Omoto Saiji.
