not expect easy answers or simple solutions here on these
pages. . . but then "that is the fun, the excitement,
the joy of involvement in the warrior arts of accomplishment.
. . . It pleases me no end to see the world at large now welcoming
the knowledge of ninjutsu's ages in the form of these
books by the art's grandmaster ." From the Foreword by
Stephen K. Hayes In an uninhibited dialogue from
a recent meeting with his top instructors from around the
world, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi discusses his personal
journey through the mysteries of the ancient art of the phantom
warrior. His topics cover the nutritional needs of a ninja,
the changing physical attributes of the "new"
ninja, details on training for the novice as well as
the advanced student, and the spiritual aspects of ninja training
and how it applies to the modern world. With numerous photos,
Dr. Hatsumi demonstrates the extemporaneous techniques
that flow from his form of training and how some of his top
students have developed their own styles of ninjutsu.
Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the grandmaster of the nine
ninjutsu schools that comprise the ninja tradition, is an
artist with brush and ink, a medical practitioner of seikotsu,
and a prolific writer .
5 out of 5 - Nov 7, 1999
Dr Hatsumi sets the record straight on a number
of misconceptions about Budo Taijutsu. The question and answer
format reflects his wonderful personality excellently. He
dispenses freely with advice on life as well as Budo. A recommended
read for practitioners of any level.
