Nice Book On Ninjas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book does not teach you to become a ninja but more like teach you how ninja life was and the history behind these knights of darkness. It is a great book overall and you should read it if your interested in these elite shadow warriors of the past.
Encyclopaedia of Assassination

What a fantastic book! This is a must for all who are even remotly interested in the Martial Arts. Providing both insight an a wealth of information, I found this book difficult to put down. It is perfectly structured, and helpfully gives both English And Japanese names for tools and titles. And it will really put into perspective your ideas of hardship and the physical demands of your gym instructor!What I love about this book is its depth. I begins waaaaaay back before the days of the actual ninja clans right to their deepest roots and tells of how they actually originated from China. Each of the ninjas rules and philosophies are reinforced by enjoyable stories of the exploits of the mystical shadow warriors, during which the author makes your feel like you have been thrown back into feudal Japan as well as any novelist could. You can really smell the bamboo and hear the gurgling streams (but, as Peter Lewis tells us, you will never hear a ninja, and if you do, you wont live to tell the tale!)I can't stress enough how good this book is, and is will be as much as a pleasure for a non-martial artist as it was for myself.Scroll to the top of you screen right now and click "Add to shopping cart"!
