Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art

Rating:
Summary: a very good book
Review: This the one of the very best books on ninjutsu ever released in the U.S. some of the past reviews on it are very misinformative and written by people who have probably never had any serious training and are just looking for demonstration techniques to show their friends, when in reality this book is much much more. It talks about the history, people, training, and occurances that came to shape ninjutsu into what is is today. If you are just looking for watered down techniques and death touches than you had better look the other way, but if you are looking for an aw-inspiring book to read and re-read on, in, and between the lines than your search is complete because this is exactly what you need.

Summary: Excellent book, good author.
Review: Weak techniques? Who is to determine what techniques are weak and which are strong? This book is about the true methods of the shadow warriors, like it or not. Whatever your preconceptions about the art of Ninpo Taijutsu, you would do well to peruse this tome and discover some of the truths behind the fiction.

Summary: Yes .. A good foundation IS important!
Review: While I am not sure what people look for exactly in books like these, I can tell you that while this book may not be full of demonstrational techniques, it IS an excellent source for information on the history of Bujinkan taijutsu and how it came to be available to all of us westerners in the United States. Roots are important, and this book will become a beacon lighting the shadowy history of the ninja as their path transforms and stretches into yet another century. No matter what you think about the author, the importance of his writings are like the cornerstones in the foundation of American Budo.

Summary: Full perspective on Ninja
Review: With sensitivity, Hayes gives readers a clear
explanation of Ninja history, society, weaponry,
and spiritual practice. I appreciated his detailed
explanation of the mental training of ninjutsu.
Highly recommended.
