Book Reviews of Ninpo: Wisdom for Life
Book Review: Inside the Mind of a Ninja
Summary: 5 Stars
Any translation issues aside, this English version of Hiden Togakure Ryu Ninpo is a profound and useful text for a student of the Bujinkan arts.
There have been many books in which Hatsumi sensei is interviewed about or writes regarding the martial arts, but in Ninpo: Wisdom for Life, the number of topics discussed is overwhelming! From diet to personal relationships, the Grandmaster reveals his unique thoughts and views on them all. In addition to philosophy, there are many references to and descriptions of techniques and methods of taijutsu and ninpo.
Book Review: Ninpo Wisdom fro the Grandmaster
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend from Japan sent this note to me:
Just wanted to let you know that I have read the Ninpo: Wisdom for Life book by Hatsumi Sensei and found it to be really great! I attempted to translate it for my own personal use several years ago but got no further than the first chapter. It was very heavy going. Having lived in Japan for over 12 years I found it to be useful because of the references Sensei makes to Japanese society. Once again, it is very well done.
Book Review: A great Bujinkan find
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned Ninpo: Wisdom for Life for a few years and think it is one of my favorite ninja books. Having read all of the English books by Masaaki Hatsumi, I can tell you that this book is page after page of martial arts philosophy! It is great to read about the philosophy behind the art of ninjutsu and having it from the source is excellent. When reading the book I feel like I am reading a Densho [traditional scrool].Book Review: wow......
Summary: 5 Stars
I am currently training in bujinkan & have done so in to-shin-do also. This is my personal favorite of all the Hatsumi books I have read. I gives you workable insight without having to decode it from Japanese culture or have to pull philosophy from legend like stories. This is fun also, don't get me wrong. But I never found myself lost reading this. Brilliant.
Book Review: A Real Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
If you train in the Bujinkan, or the martial arts this is a book that will grow with your training as you do. So many times I've just opened it and started reading from any point and there is always something new, another layer to look at what sensei is saying.
