This is the first book ever to present the authentic ninja
techniques in a highly accessible, illustrated 'how to' format. The
shadowy figure of the ninja – expert commando, secret agent,
maverick who operates outside social norms – continues to exert
fascination in the West, yet much of what is presented as ninja
fact today is distorted or wrong. Drawing on the scrolls created by
historical Japanese ninjas (or shinobi, as they were then known),
this book offers the real ninja teachings in 150 easy-to-follow,
illustrated lessons designed to draw contemporary students of ninja
straight into the world of these skilled spy-commandos. The truth
about the ninja is so much more complex and intriguing than the
Hollywood clichés we know today. We may think, for example, of a
ninja as being always garbed in black and fighting with 'throwing
stars' but in fact, a ninja had clothes in different colours to
serve as disguises for different times of day, and their arsenal of
weaponry could include anything from poison, poison gas, pepper
spray and fire-creating tools to swords, spears and knives (but no
throwing stars). The 150 lessons in this book cover all the basics
of ninja warcraft, including clever ideas for infiltrating an enemy
compound (from wearing 'silent sandals' to faking passes and
passwords), tactics for hiding and retreat (in the racoon dog
retreat, a ninja will crouch low and halt, allowing the pursuer to
collide with him at speed, whereupon the agent kills his enemy),
and ways of crossing marshes and water (for example, with special
shoes made of boards, or using a foldaway floating seat). The
description is made all the more vivid by step-by-step photographs
of the fighting techniques, diagrams outlining military tactics and
beautiful samples of Japanese calligraphy.
