Product Description

"Ninjutsu: The Secret Art of the Ninja" covers all aspects of this remarkable martial art, including the hidden details within the Ninjutsu forms. It reveals the secrets of how to develop power through body movement, how to effectively remove an opponent's balance, and how to unify the mind, the body and technique. The author's objective is to improve both the reader's mental and physical skills and to promote harmony between mind and body.

From the Author

I have written this book to give readers an insight into Ninjutsu. The first half of the book concentrates on the mind body and spirit and the philosophy of the Ninja. It also details how to bring a balance to your mind and enable you to see the truth in various situations. The second half of the book covers the basic techniques of Takamatsu based Ninjutsu and is invaluable to anyone learning Ninjutsu. The last part of the book deals with pressure points and training tips and advice to those studying Ninjutsu.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great Martial Arts book, 2 Sep 2007

Philip (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ninjutsu: The Secret Art of the Ninja (Paperback)

I just bought this book and think it is absolutely fascinating. The first part of the book is very esoteric and gives lessons that are valuable for everyones life. The second half is probably the best book on ninjutsu technique I have seen. The last part gives loads of advice on training as well as stealth and pressure points. It will be of interest to all Martial Artists

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by a great teacher, 4 Sep 2007

Richard Willis - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ninjutsu: The Secret Art of the Ninja (Paperback)

This is a truly excellent book. I have trained under Simon's instruction for 10 years and he is an excellent teacher. No book can do justice to one-on-one instruction from a ninjutsu master but this comes as close as you can get. All I can say is - buy it, read it and train with an expert to build the knowledge into your life.

A great textbook - Congratulations Sensei

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on ninjutsu technique, 4 April 2009

Mr. H. C. R. Allen "mhcra" (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ninjutsu: The Secret Art of the Ninja (Paperback)

This book covers the core techniques in Bujinkan budo taijutsu and does so very well. The kihon happo (8 foundation techniques), basic kamae/postures, sanshin no kata and 16 striking 'treasures' are all covered as well as a good deal more. The author, Simon Yeo is a 10th dan black belt in the Bujinkan so you can take what he says as authentic and correct. This is important as a lot of people who claim to know ninjutsu have learnt it from dubious sources.

I use the book primarily as a technical reference as it covers technical 'best practice' very thoroughly and clearly. If you're a ninjutsu beginner or intermediate student then I would say this book is pretty much a 'must have'.
