Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Read Comment: This had a great section on the Togakure Ryu school and has been a favorite of mine. A must read for any To-Shin Do practicioner. Customer Rating: Summary: The Facts Comment: Not sure if this is the best book but it is one of the best. Speaks of the truth to what a ninja is and about the myths.
For anyone interested in what a ninja is and is not. This is a good book.
If you are interested in the history of ninjutsu then this is not the book you are looking for. This is more of a book that tells you what a ninja is not how a ninja came to be.
All in all, it is really a FAQ book. Customer Rating: Summary: Hayes' Ninja series, part 3 Comment: From the Table of Contents:
1. The path
2. Enlightened consciousness
3. Ninja invisibility
4. Ken Tai Ichi Jo
5. Kuji-Kiri

Customer Rating: Summary: Skip it Comment: Do yourself a favore - skip any ninjutsu/ninja books not written by the Grandmaster, Masaaki Hatsumi. Customer Rating: Summary: A MUST READ FOR ALL MARTIAL ARTISTS Comment: Shidoshi Hayes has written many wonderful books and they should be studied very carfully as there is much more information than at first it seems.
