Rating:  Summary: Lacks any real information. Review: "Ninja Mind Control" has no, or very little useful substance in it. The subject titles in the contents seem promising yet are rarely develeped past the point of informing the reader how cool it would be if someone would tell them something about it. Unfortunatly our friend Mr. Kim has given birth to another flop. This book is a simple effort to capatilize on the "ninja" name.
Rating:  Summary: Don't underestimate Review: A friend of mine bought this book years ago, was a good book, bit like the MONKEY MAGIC series which used to come on t.v. lol. Kuji cannot be attained without years of training in taijutsu. maybe mr. kim followers dont know what that is. Anyway after i read the book i made good use of it, took to with me to the toliet and used it has bog roll. sorry but this book cannot be taken seriously, has kuji isnt about just putting ya fingers in different positions.

Rating:  Summary: Probably not worth it Review: After buying and reading several of his works, I have yet to be convinced of "Ashida Kim"'s credentials. I'm very wary of an individual who feels he must don an Asian name to gain credibility in writing about martial arts. Therefore everything he says you must take with a grain of salt.Mr. "Kim"'s credentials aside, like all of his other books, this book does contain some very good knowledge, if you look hard enough. But overall this book is vague and provides very little for its reader. There are far better books on martial arts and ninjutsu avalible to readers. Pass on this one.

Rating:  Summary: Respect for marshal arts Review: Any selfish person who takes marshal arts, to be more powerful than the extreme are weeded out early. Any good marshal artiest knows the best way to win a fight is not to get in one. Any selfish person who reads the title and think about control other poeple minds for ther own selfish needs, desire, or egos. Will not make it in any marshal arts.(Your true colors will shine thought) This book is design to give you mental dexterity. Marshal arts that exercises the mind and sprit are far more valuable physical sxercises. The proper respect this is needed. You will learn to control your own mind, wants ,needs, and fears. With the proper respect.
Rating:  Summary: Fraud and a Joke Review: As for having read the book. Yes I bought it many years ago. For having tried his techniques, Been there and done that... Well boys and ninjettes... they don't work. Try Bujinkan, Genbukan or Jinenkan or even ToShinDo but leave the fantasy to the Saturday morning cartoons.
Rating:  Summary: Ashida Kim is helping people... Review: Ashida Kim has as always carefully written a helpful text to help others find the Way. Whether truth or fiction, the book is carefully laid out for those individuals who are capable to find the Way. The techniques in this book, as in all others, require a great deal of practice, discipline and self understanding to make effective, but once one has trained oneself to this level, the techniques do nothing but shine. One will find that other schools only delude themselves into thinking that the skill levels that those in their schools have attained are capable in combat. Some say Ninjitsu would never be good in a competitive arena, some say Koga Hei Long Pao Ying techniques are fairy tale. Only those who have trained themselves to a high enough level will be able to see past their own emotions and mental states to see these techniques for what they are.
Rating:  Summary: He's a fake Review: Ashida Kim is an obvious fake trying to cash in by exploiting ninjutsu. It's really THAT obvious
Rating:  Summary: The Ashida Kim series is excellent in every respect. Review: Ashida Kim obviously knows his stuff, and this was apparent from the first time I ever flipped through one of his books. I have been helped in a variety of situations by the knowledge he has given me. Let's make this clear: THE TECHNIQUES WORK. Even if he isn't Japanese by blood, who cares? Neither is Stephen K. Hayes, but no one seems to worry about that. Mr. Kim fought in the streets with the hippies in Chicago in 1968 (where he met Count Juan Dante), and from there he became a ninja. He is a man of peace, a man of knowledge, and a good example for everyone. People who are against him are simply trying to cover for the fact that they've spent a lot of money on Bujinkan lessons, and they feel the need to justify this expense, because they haven't gotten anything out of it. You don't hear Ashida Kim badmouthing other schools, do you? Not ONE person has ever said, "I've tried Ashida Kim's techniques, and they didn't work." People who say this haven't actually tried anything. If you don't want to read his books- don't! No one's forcing you. You'll just be an easier target when the sh*t hits the fan.
