Ninja Skills: The Authentic Ninja Training Manual

A complete informative book on the subject of ninjas

I have collected knowledge of this art.Great knowledge on this subject.

This book is a must for any serious student or enthusiast of Historical Ninjutsu. This is sure to become an indispensable resource and quick reference for studying the legitimate techniques of the historical shinobi (ninja). Drawing from a wide pool of extant historical documents recorded by the ninja themselves, this book breaks down many of the individual skills into easily digestible individual lessons which are perfect for the modern reader. Whether a hardcore historian, experimental archæologist, or armchair enthusiast this book makes the information from the historical record easy to access for reference, personal practice, etc. The layout and format places like skillsets together with others of the same type (i.e. - Climbing Skills, Defensive Skills, etc.) making it simple and easy to reference, compare and contrast skills from a wide scope of historical sources in one easy to navigate volume! Given the expansiveness of historical information from which this material is drawn, I can only hope that this volume will be the first in a series of many more like it!

Well the new soke speaks while much seems with gusto lets get to a few main facts1 this books completely goes against things said early on in your ninjering u still have a way to go and how did teaching the Japanese ninjutsu work out....prolly about as good as basing all ur knowledge on just the bansenshukai alone there hasnt or prolly never will be enuff to proof that book or author in 100 percent i hope most of your readers grasp this2 so all ninja really werent samurai...i feel a straight blade coming63 much appreciate the skills i really hope it works out but sticking to the truth will help everyone but this being true shinobi it will never happen as you know because me and you spoke on that subject years ago ...direct qoute was if i was a true ninja i would be hacking and stealing your info as we speak...so all will still have to find there own way regardless of system those are facts. Once again the stuff can stil be learnt properly but will take work on the true warriors part. Seal team or special service best start.4 the shocker revealed ive actually trained and tried to talk openly with many every one seems to know the truth tho but then wouldnt be no money in it...save ur money spend a private lesson with skh and ask the right stuff..u can read my previous reviews but this seems easier go to a true source thers a few left

I have thoroughly enjoyed this excellent book by Antony Cummins! It is structured in an easy-to-follow format that is pleasing to read as well as loaded with great images. The historic texts that Ninja Skills draws from are legitimate sources of information written by those that put these principles into practice long ago. This book provides a great resource for folks that have interest in studying genuine shinobi no jutsu, unlike the modern fabricated martial arts versions that have saturated and mislead the world over the last few decades. This will serve as an on-going source of study and research for me and I will highly recommend it to others! I am very pleased with this true representation of the skills of the ninja!

Its mostly concepts & illustrations of ninja tools. It doesnt tell you how to become a ninja. It tells you ideas about what is a ninja.Its like reading a book on weight training concepts/philosophy/ideas, but it doesnt give you any program to follow or direct ideas of what you need to practice daily.

This unbelievable collection of ninja knowleged is a must have for any shinobi enthusiasts, hostric researcher, experimental archeologist, people practicing living history or anyone who loves cool stuff from history! Beautifully photographed, layed out and desinged with impecable taste, this book is an addictive read. Organized into 14 major divisons of 150 lessons, this book provides the perfect lesson plan for hundereds of hours of self and team development opportunities for practical analysis and presonal observation. Jam packed with exciting photos of the author in action and teaming with historic drawings from the worlds best collection of ninja scrolls, this book is truely a visual journey as well as a written one!

This book is a great springboard into "historical ninja" as understood today. It organizes 150 lessons, categorizing them into groups like "Infiltration Skills" and "Fire Skills", making it a more orderly approach than jumping straight into the actual manuals from the get-go. This is not a replacement for those texts though.I enjoy that nearly every lesson has a picture to go with it, making for a nice presentation. Overall, despite already having the other texts referred to, I find it an enjoyable read and useful for studying due to its organized structure.
