The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art

by StephenK.Hayes (Author)

Synopsis

Ninjutsu, perhaps the least understood martial art of Japan, is an ancient fighting style emphasizing naturalness of movement, responsiveness to one's adversary, and absolute practicality. In feudal Japan, ninja were feared for their skill in espionage and assassination. Masters of weaponry, stealth, and martial techniques, ninja warriors were often credited with supernatural powers because of the near-invincibility of their unique and deadly art.

Those trained in the art of ninjutsu are said to be able to run up trees, to cling to the ceiling and to be able to snatch a sword from the hand of a samurai as he attacks. These are not myths; they have a basis in fact, and Hayes has researched their origin. --Black Belt Magazine
