KATSURA OTOKO

Since the time of the Second Ninja Boom of the 1980s the ninja experts have led novices to believe by that Taijutsu is Ninjutsu. Ranked instructors who one assumes would know otherwise have also perpetuated this erroneous notion among their student followers. Thus the actual elements of Ninjutsu-intelligence-gathering strategy invisibility among many others-are disregarded and omitted from contemporary training. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a more authentic and balanced understanding of what traditional ninjutsu was-and of what it can still be. It will be of value to - readers without a dojo affiliation who are nonetheless interested in ninjutsu training - practitioners who may be disillusioned with the authenticity of training and - active ninjutsu practitioners regardless of dojo affiliation seamlessly complementing their training and providing them with an ancillary curriculum to broaden their skills.
