This is quite simply the best book on Ninpo ever written. Much of the information comes straight from old documents such as the Shoninki, Ninpiden and Bansenshukai. The book is extremely easy to follow and covers almost everything you could imagine with many, many pictures. You would have to buy about twelve other books on Ninpo to get the same amount of information. Plus, Tanemura explains some of the "sneaky" ninja techniques that have not been touched on in any other book before. Highly recommended for every practitioner of ninpo/taijutsu.

this book is definitly not the best book on ninjitsu ever written.it has alot of pictures, but there are alot of "gaps". missing photos of continous technique.no close ups of technique either.i would not recommend this book for beginners or those that have "some" knowledge,you would be better off buying ninpo bugei vol 1 and ninja submission by soke Hatsumi.unless you have a solid foundation in the kihon happo"basic patterns" you would be better off not buying this book.

I think this is the best ninpo´s book ever written, is excellent for every ninpo´s practitioner, but if you aren´t ninjutsuka, is not for you.
