Book Reviews of Shadow Strategies of an American Ninja Master
Book Review: Another Five Star Review
Summary: 5 Stars
At the risk of being redundant, I just wanted to echo some sentiments already expressed here. You have to read Dr. Morris's work in a certain frame of mind because every paragraph is a jewel waiting to be discovered and embraced.
Like others have said, it is not a "How-To" book on ninjutsu, but an essay on enlightenment and especially on the physical component of enlightenment. I can't count the times I have reread this book and every time found myself smiling at some new gem.
In places it borders on ridiculous and you ask yourself, "How could he expect me to believe this?" But living in that world of possibilities for a moment is part of the joy.
If you want to be a human being...and really, who doesn't?...come study Dr. Morris's map of how he got there.
Don't forget Path Notes of an American Ninja Master for which I cut and pasted this same darn review.
HEY!!! Be prepared to study his section on the Go-Dai hard!!!
Summary of Shadow Strategies of an American Ninja Master
Glenn Morris examines the fabulous Togakure Ryu in ninth century Japan and moves to present day applications of the ancient skills the stealthy ninja must apply to living in the modern world. Mr. Morris' fans will not be disappointed with the riches offered here: secrets of balance and alignment; seeing with the minds and eyes of gods and spirits; energy applications of qi for healing, warfare and sexual fulfillment; the care and feeding of Bujin, protective spirits; and cross-cultural comparisons of shamans, saints and masters of Budo and Bugei.Martial Arts Books
