Ninjutsu is the best known and most misunderstood of all martial arts. The long history of ninjutsu is often murky; surrounded by mysteries and legends. Here, for the first time, is an in-depth, factual look at the entire art of ninjutsu, including the emergence of ninja warriors and philosophy in feudal Japan; detailed historical events; its context in the development of other martial arts schools; and the philosophies and missions of the school today.
Based on more than ten years of studying and translating authentic Japanese texts, including many that have never been translated, this is the most comprehensive and accurate study of the art of ninjutsu ever written outside of Japan.
For those who train in ninjutsu, for other martial arts practitioners, for historians, and for anyone interested in Japanese feudal history, The Ninja sheds light on this enigmatic subject.
