Synopsis:
An introduction to the Japanese martial art of Ninjitsu.
Ninjitsu, the least understood martial art of Japan, is an ancient fighting style emphasizing natural movement, responsiveness to adversaries, and absolute practicality. In feudal Japan, Ninja were feared for their skill in espionage and, particularly, assassination. Masters of weaponry, stealth, and martial techniques, Ninja were credited with supernatural powers because of the near invincibility of their unique and deadly art. Hayes reveals the secrets that led to the perception of ninja as warriors of almost sorcerous skill - the art of invisibility, special tools and weapons, and psychological training enabling the Ninja to gain adavantage in any situation.
"Stephen Hayes is the acknowledged father of American Ninjitsu." Inside Kung Fu.
"Those trained in the art of Ninjitsu are said to be able to run up tress, 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. |
