 Rating:  - Beware of GhostsA lot of this book was ghost written by Stephen K. Hayes or someone whose writing style mimics that of Mr. Hayes. One only need to compare the wording of Stephen K. Hayes' own books with this one to see the strong similarities. As a result, a lot of the information is the ghost writer's own interpretation of Hatsumi-sensei's art and must be considered as incorrect as I've yet to see or hear Soke use such interpretations. There are a quite of lot of interesting photographs of training ... Read More Rating:  - Fun read, but dated.Masaaki Hatsumi's overview of the Japanese Ninja is a fun read that gives a fairly brief survey of Ninjutsu. As someone skeptical of the whole "ninja thing" I found it both informative and frustrating, that the author worked hard to dispel myths about the ninja and their powers and then turn around and wax esoteric on the very same topic. Many of the photos in the book are not particularly well taken and tend to be fuzzy and dated, and the captions do little to make them any more clear. Read More Rating:  - Ninjutsu 101I bought this book a long time ago when I first started learning Ninjutsu. This is essential for anyone studying Ninjutsu, as it has (like the title says) history. Besides the history, it has other information on stances, weapons, and practices of Ninjutsu. There are also many pictures and drawings to help you along. Like I said, if you are planning on taking Ninjutsu, if you are learning Ninjutsu now, or if you simply want to know the truth about where Ninjutsu came from ... Read More Rating: - A must-have for your martial arts libraryIf your as tired of the usual ninja stereotypes as I am then this book is a must. Rating: - a good readThis is a definite must for beginning ninjutsu students. I found it extremely informative, even though some of the pictures are a little hard to identify. it has really interesting insight and description for all aspects of ninjutsu, as well as some interesting history. I found it especially helpful because there is not a ninjutsu school near me and therefore i have had to train by myself. |
