"The Essence of Ninjutsu." Written during the Ninja “boom” of the early 1900's, Gingetsu Itoh seeks to dispel the myth that Ninjutsu is an art comprised solely of magic and sorcery. The moving pictures and billboards of the day have lead “the average person to consider Ninjutsu to be a kind of sorcery or magic”. The techniques within are as relevant today as those contained in The Art of War. Itoh “Sensei” shows how the skills of those practicing Ninjutsu came about and the way those same methods were verified on the battlefields of the century of fighting that was the Warring States periodWith arresting anecdotes from military logs of the period as well as insightful commentary as to how this knowledge can be applied, Itoh Sensei presents a complete picture of what was understood about Ninjutsu in the early twentieth century. First time in English.All original illustrations included.Fourth Edition.

The Essence of Martial Arts is an easy-to-read instructional guide to mastering the more difficult maneuvers and then applying them to real-world scenarios.

Whatever the case, you will be able to pick up the elements of martial arts quickly and put them to use. This guide covers the basics, but also addresses more specific approaches for fighting and self-defense. So jump right in. With good guidance, it's not difficult to achieve excellence in martial arts if you absolutely commit to doing so. Synopsis Written from the unique perspective of an experienced martial arts instructor, the book is a concise collection of theories that the author knows to work in practise. Throughout, the book is easy to read, and balances a humorous style when telling real life stories which enhances the serious points the author wants to convey. Therefore, the book is summarised into the basic, intermediate and advanced levels that all readers can pick up the elements quickly and put them to use. There are specific chapters on Kung Fu (Wing Chun), Tai Chi, Karate and Jeet Kune Do.

Anyone interested in martial arts will not fail to benefit from this book. Why you should buy this book:- Many chapters have insights that some teachers won't tell you.
