This informative martial arts book, Ninja Weapons introduces the
exciting and deadly secrets of ninjutsu--the chain and the
shuriken. The Masaki school of chain fighting was developed in the
feudal society of the early eighteenth century by a
swordsman-sentry in Edo (Tokyo) Castle. Feeling that the shedding
of blood in such a hallowed place would be disgraceful, he devised
the combat use of the weighted chain. Even the name he gave to the
art proves the trust he placed in its effectiveness--manrikigusari
(chain with the power of ten thousand). The equally devastating art
of shuriken, the throwing of metal stars and spikes, evolved
shortly after manrikigusari. The easily concealed shuriken soon
became known as an extremely effective weapon for both shinobi and
samurai warriors. Included are "The Samurai Creed," various
techniques, the history of the arts and over 100 black and white
photos and illustrations.
