Book Reviews of The Way of the Ninja: Secret Techniques

Book Review: The Way of the Ninja: Secret Techniques
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book in two days after receiving it from Amazon.com! I enjoy the many Taijustu (Body Skills) pictures displayed. In addition, what I found unique about this book is the fact that the authors inserted the concept of Kyojutsu (Truth appearing a Falsehood) visually. For example, some of the pictures were blurry to symbolize a change in the body movement relationship with the opponent.

Lastly, this book created a complete picture of the many oral teachings available on the subject of Budo/Ninpo Taijutsu (Art of Distancing).

Book Review: Hiden Desu Ne!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a good book to catch more information on history portions which aren't generally covered in depth such as the armour and attire. There are beautiful images although in black and white. Many techniques are also demonstarted within the book, however, don't expect to learn them from the book itself. They, just like the text, is meant to be pieces of the puzzle of what ninpo is. The book is an enjoyable read which can be interpretted in a number of ways. Enjoy.

Book Review: Best book about Ninjutsu on the market
Summary: 5 Stars

Masaaki Hatsumi is without a doubt the most advanced master of Ninjutsu alive.
This book tries to give you a better understanding of the ideas behind this art (it cannot be called sport).
It doesn`t teach you real techniques, but no book could ever do that, but will help you to seperate the movie-nonsense from reality and hopefully encourages you to start practicing this wonderful art yourself, as I am doing for years now.

Book Review: Another great Kodansha publication!
Summary: 5 Stars

Incredibly crisp photos, tons of information about ninpo taijutsu, impressive jacket, everything you could want. Kodansha publications might cost a little more, but I think they're worth every cent. If you have an interest in ninpo, jujutsu, taijutsu or koryu arts in general, be sure to pick this up.

Book Review: The Way Of The Ninja: Secret Techniques (Boston,Mass)
Summary: 5 Stars

I have trained and I know this Great Martial Arts Master for over 23 years
This is a book that looks at the deeper and hard to understand part of his
art I look foward to reading his books and enjoying his training.
