Essence of Ninjutsu Review: Awsome book! Its very deep - I have only begun reading this book and it blows my mind. I stop and think about each lesson it teaches because the lessons are deep and important. This knowledge is a must for your life long study in ninjutsu. Review: Coming down the mountain - clear light in the valley - Tradition to which the art of Ninjutsu belongs goes back many hundreds of years, and is deeply interelated to other spiritual/esoteric disciplines of the East such as various kinds of Taoist and Buddhist meditations and techniques, of which the understanding of yoga is an integral part. Information regarding Ninjutsu has long been unavailable due to secrecy of its exponents, and also due to basic ignorance of a general seeker. However, they are not outside of our reach anymore, and with this book the precious teachings are even closer within the reach. The author of this book Hatsumi-sensei is considered a pretty enlightened being by many, very serious people - marine trainers, special forces' folks, and all in these kind of occupations, yet while reading one can't help noticing his basic gentleness of character, and openness in sharing that which is the most valued to him - his life's art. Yet, we may also outline a certain dangerous quality of Dr. Hatsumi's writing, that is in his role of protector of these teaching, a fearsome warrior not to be messed with. The content of the book itself is very tighlty connected to the lore of the Ninjutsu traditions, of which Hatsumi-sensei is the heir. It has some very interesting stories of valor of some previous masters of the school - the way it should be done. For those who are interested in martial application there are some photos with description. One cannot stop wondering at the love and reverence this man has for his teacher, who apparently was a very tough and very knowledgable person. His reverance is passed to us, the readers. Any knowledge requires a hands-on experience in order to be claimed as such. For that a good and through guidence is needed, however even guidence will not do if one doesn't put in any effort, and the effort required for the art such as ninjutsu has to be clear, like a running current of a mountain river. Trivialities may confuse, but what's essential remains non-trivial, like the big round boulders that are being unseizingly polished by that river. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #170,151 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Fencing (Books) #312 in Martial Arts (Books) #1,741 in Exercise & Fitness (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (196) | | Dimensions | 6.9 x 0.53 x 9.9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0809247240 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0809247240 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | NTC SPORTS/FITNESS | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | April 22, 1988 | | Publisher | McGraw Hill | ## Images ![Essence of Ninjutsu - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v6K1khDmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awsome book! Its very deep *by A***R on January 14, 2016* I have only begun reading this book and it blows my mind. I stop and think about each lesson it teaches because the lessons are deep and important. This knowledge is a must for your life long study in ninjutsu. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coming down the mountain - clear light in the valley *by I***Y on March 13, 2012* Tradition to which the art of Ninjutsu belongs goes back many hundreds of years, and is deeply interelated to other spiritual/esoteric disciplines of the East such as various kinds of Taoist and Buddhist meditations and techniques, of which the understanding of yoga is an integral part.

I practiced a martial art outside of Ninjutsu when I read this book, and although the concepts of the moves seemed easy enough, they are dangerous to practice without the control and taijutsu that you learn from the Bujinkan. That said, if you are in the Bujinkan, you must own this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/5076032-essence-of-ninjutsu](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/5076032-essence-of-ninjutsu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
