the ONLY BOOK WITH FOOTWORK IN STEPS!!!!!

ok despite my title this is a great book only thing wrong with it is mr hayes doesnt give you the information on what he is showing you exactly but the basic mooves are clear and easy to learn...proll the first book a beginner should own due simly to the fact of the foot work shadows period!!!! he doesnt tell you hges teaching you the kihon happo and other moves but maybe he has reason...he is a very serios dedicated and careful martiAl artist much respect mr hayes!!!!!

Still Good After All These Years

An early ninjutsu book by Stephen K Hayes that offer a great insight to training. It starts with some stretching and strengthening lessons, then to basic motions (like angling and flowing) and finally, presents more advanced lessons. Both my wife and I own copies of this book. He's gets loaned out a bit, my sits on the shelf with in fine nearly-new "signed by the author" condition. Good stuff. [...]

One of the best

This is one of the better books I've bought and read on the art of the ninja and I recommend it to anyone. The basic training drills will help any new student of the art progress. While I somewhat agree with some people that learning from a book is not the best way to learn any martial art, I believe with the right intention anyone can gain good knowledge and even master some techniques through this book and others by this author.
