1.0 out of 5 stars Ashida Kim is Bad, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
1. The book shows no real ninjutsu. Review any of the books related to the Bujinkan if you want to see the real stuff. 2. Worst martial arts I've seen depicted in any book. 3. Ashida Kim won't even put a biography of his experiences with the martial arts in his book. 4. Let's see, Korean and Chinese names for a Japanese art. What's wrong with this picture?

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, weather ninjutsu or not, still a good book, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Secrets of the Ninja in my opinion is a very good book. Although many question Ashida Kim's real ninjutsu knowledge, I say he does know alot and he wrote a good book. Although it kind of looks like a book on how to be a great thief to me. It tells you alot on real ways of doing things. Ways the really work. Good pictures to demonstrate each technique. Even if his name isn't japanese, nither is Stephen K. Hayes. I think it is a good buy and defenitly worth a read. You will learn a thing or two, I promise it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but its available for free..., 14 Jan 2008
By S. Ward - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book...no doubt intersting if you cease to find any "real ninjutsu" because of your pesimism but one thing i have to say is that it is available for a free legal download on ashida kims website so if its only the information you require why pay unless you want the joys of owning the book
