A Ninja was someone whose very
existence expressed the spirit of Budo. He would protect himself
with techniques not of assassination but rather of sensation and
an acute awareness of his natural surroundings. He would avoid
unnecessary conflict, and even if armed with a blade, would find
a way to win without staining it. These are the true techniques
of Ninjutsu, and the art in which Ninja persistently trained.
Ninja exercised endurance throughout their secretive lives in
order to protect their families, their clans, and their country.
Their harsh training endowed them with a tough but pliant
spirit, and martial skills suitable for coping with any
situation, together with a sense of awareness that had universal
application. Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, Ph. D, is the most famous
Ninja grandmaster in the world today. In this book, he explains
the essence, truth, and wisdom of Ninjutsu, an art of a thousand
forms and innumerable variations. Through perceptive
observations and many detailed pictures, the author reveals the
hidden reality behind this mysterious and fascinating martial
art. The Way of the Ninja will help widen readers' perceptions
and deepen their understanding of two essential principles. One
is that Ninjutsu is the very backbone of the Martial Arts; the
other, that Ninjutsu reveals their true spiritual significance.
