Product Description

Product Description

"Do 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 .

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, 7 Nov 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, educational, and ultimately necessary!, 5 April 1999
By A Customer
Using a question-and-answer format featuring several highly-ranked western students, Hatsumi-sensei pours forth pearls of wisdom at once so commonsense yet simultaneously illuminating, one cannot help but become engrossed not only in this system of martial arts, but also in the man himself. A must-have for anyone who calls themself a martial scholar, artist, or intelligent person!

2.0 out of 5 stars Do not Buy, 9 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Normally the books by missaki hatsumi are great, but this book consists of interviews with the grandmaster, who although i admit does give some interesting information about his life,
The book also gives pointless information about how J.hoban and other instructors started to train and where they are now....it doesnt teach you how to fight...and there are about two techniques shown in very breif detail

2.0 out of 5 stars not a very interesting book
This is a translation of a taped interview with hatsumi and his students.
It is a bit rambling, and would perhaps have been interesting if you were reading soon after its... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Interview with a Master
This book is great. It is not a text book which will help you learn the Martial arts of being a Ninja. But it does dispell some notions about ninjustsu. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars hmm. bad book
i didn't like this book, from the opening of the cover. it is an interview, and so is not very concise or informative. unless you're well into it, don't bother. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite a few good photos, text is not so good.
There are some good photos in this book, kamae and weapons etc. However please ignore most of the text because most of it is highly inaccurate. Read more
