About this product

Product Information

Look past the legends and learn about the REAL ninjas of feudal Japan with this entertaining, illustrated ninjutsu guide. Ninjutsu, the least understood of the Japanese martial arts, is an ancient fighting style emphasizing natural movement, responsiveness to adversaries, and absolute practicality. In feudal Japan, ninja were feared for their skill in espionage and, particularly, assassination. Masters of weaponry, stealth, and martial techniques, ninja were credited with supernatural powers because of the near-invincibility of their unique and deadly art. In The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art , Black Belt Hall of Fame member, Stephen K. Hayes, reveals the secrets that lead to the perception of the ninja as warriors of almost sorcerous skill--the art of invisibility, special tools and weapons, and psychological training enabling the ninja to gain advantage in any situation. Chapters include: Perspective--Origin; Organization; Training; At the Height of Power; The Decline; Ninjutsu in the Modern World Search for the Ninja Unarmed Combat--The Ninja Fists; Fighting Postures; Other Factors Weaponry--Chains and Cords; Sticks and Staffs; Canes with Concealed Weapons; The Ninja Sword; Throwing Blades The Way of Invisibility--Sense Deception; Phantom Steps; Reconnaissance; Blending with the Night; Attacking the Eyes; The Art of Disguise Shadow Warriors--Espionage; Commando Tactics The Realm of the Spirit--Psychological Warfare; The Force of the Killer; The Great Harmony

    The Ninja from the U.S.

    Mr. Hayes if I'm wrong if you're not from the United Kingdom, please accept my sincere apologies. But what Stephen Hayes says in his book "The Ninja & Their Secret Fighting Art" is far and true. Like Ashida Kim, Hayes' book tells all on the Ninja and their ultimate fighting skills in Feudal Japan and beyond. With techniques handed down to such a selected few in Japan's Warring times, these awesome Mystical Shadow Warriors are like Robin Hood and his Merry Men that steals from the rich, destroys the enemy and gives back to the poor and weak. There are good Ninjas and bad ones too, but when it comes down to being superior, the Ninja always comes up on top. I would suggest for those who wants to study Ninjutsu from the very techniques, meditation, and practice, please get this book. You'll be ...
