The traditional Corvo is a bladed weapon that is popularly regarded as the national knife of Chile. As such, it ranks alongside the Navaja of Spain, the Kukri of Nepal, and the America Bowie as a blade that was pivotal in the wars-and ultimately, the history-of its nation. The Corvo knife was so uniformly carried by Chileans that it saw wide use in Chile's 19th century War of Tndependence from Bolivia. So significant was the Corvo's prevalence in the war that the knife was officially adopted by the Chilean military. Today, the Special Commandos adhere to a uniquely-developed curriculum for the combative use of the Corvo, which includes its proper deployment in confronting enemy opponents, whether unarmed, or wielding knives, entrenching tools, or bayonets. In this book two edged weapons Masters, Fernan Vargas and James Loriega take you on a journey to explore the history, culture and use of the Corvo.

The United States Marine Corps does not have this manual-or any manual on the combat use of the Ka-Bar knife. This, however, is not because they lack a structured knife combat method for training new recruits, or because the method is in any way secret or classified. They have a structured method, and it's not secret or classified. They just don't teach from a manual! Why? Simply because Marine Combat Instructors have their knife combat method internalized. They can teach it in their sleep, they can use the knife without even waking up-and they want Marine recruits to know this method in the same manner. Not to learn it-to internalize it. To own it! Because they won't have a manual with them when they need this knowledge to save their lives. Learn what they already know!

The way of Ninjutsu, when correctly practiced, is the Art of Protection Against Danger. The weapons in your arsenal become foresight, situational awareness, sensory acuity, and a honed intuition. These are the weapons which Gracian developed, advocated, and utilized in Spain against the brightest political and religious thinkers. Prudence, discretion, circumspection, sagacity, discipline, and all the other attributes and qualities that Gracian encourages his reader to demonstrate are the selfsame attributes and qualities required of the shinobi. How, then, could Gracian's writings not be relevant to the contemporary practitioner of Ninjutsu?
