Summary: Masanari needs to read his history books
Comment: Masanari needs to read his history books before he lectures on what the origins of a whole society of people is. The book was well writen. Thats the only good I can say about it. Of ninjutsu there is no sign but the word. Taijutsu is a way of moving the body in a natural way. Ashida/Hunter (same person) Holds a karate stance and flexes his fingers. If you trained that way, you'd have arthritus within the week. No, ninjutsu is not only taijutsu. It encompasses many things. among them, Ninpo, Mikkiyo, as well as servival techniques. Ninjutsu is a way of life, but it is not include Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Dim Mak, etc.. Ninjutsu is an Art, not a combination of arts. You cannot have an art who's birth came before the invention of its components!
Masanari read a book written by some one who is not trying to make money off of you. Visit the Japanes Ninja History Musems.
They're Awsome

Summary: Jessi-jim must not be a good historian
Comment: Tai-jutsu is ninjutsu only? You have to be kidding me. Just another ashida basher. Ninjustsu is composed of many martial arts and coincides with warrior way/warrior spirit. Ever learning. A ninja doesn't derive from one art. If you don't understand this then how do I even begin to go on from here.

Summary: The Secrets within....
Comment: When I first bought this book, I was alittle thrown off cause I was training in a Bujinkan dojo. But I noticed the symble on at the begining of the book was a source for many of the principles and techniques like we practice in the Bujinkan. It's a very good book you just have to learn to look for the more suttle lessons in it.

Summary: This is one of the worst books I have ever read!
Comment: This book is not a ninja training manual. Most of this book is on Karate. Ninjas don't use Karate, they use TAI-JUTSU! I suggest reading anything by Masaaki Hatsumi, Stephen K. Hayes, Jack E. Hoban, Doron Navon, Glenn J. Morris, Richard Van Donk, Charles Daniels, and Bud Malmstrom. Anyone of the Togakure Ryu teachers from above has written at least one book or article that shows what Ninjutsu and Tai-jutsu really are.
