Flexiable Weapons, Surprise Weapons, Battlefield Weapons, Blade and Chain Weapons, Impact Weapons... this book gives the reader a sense of the depth that a modern day ninja's weapons training curriculum can provide. Martial Artists and ninja students, how else can we hope to defend our-selves against weapons without first having an accurate knowledge of how they are applied. This book is excellent!

This is a great book on the little known art of ninjutsu/ninpo. The photographs could have been clearer, but the content was wonderful. I cannot say too much about it because the principles are the greatest. they are very easy to learn and apply, and most of the same principles apply to all weapons in general.
