Summary: Ninjutsu: The Art of the invisible warrior
Comment: This book is a wonderfully helpful guide to some very basic Ninjutsu techniques. It covers mostly basic self-defense, however there are some rather dire moves that you would only use if someone were about to try to kill you. Not sounding too basic now, is it? I loved the Taijutsu section and the historical references. I didn't like the weapons section very much; I think they missed something in refusing to put in the Katana swords and Shuko climbing claws. For these (particularly the Katana) I recommend Mr. Hayes' other book, The Mystic Arts of the Ninja.

Summary: Excellent book for beginner ninjutsu practitioners!!!
Comment: This was the first book I got on ninjutsu when I started studying it 3 years ago. If you are interested or training in ninjutsu this is a must read book! It will first teach you the junan-taiso, which is the conditioning and stretching. Then it will teach you basic taijutsu, which is the unarmed combat of the ninja. It also shows you the kamaes, which are the postures of taijutsu. It is a great book that will show you how to use taijutsu one on one, with great step by step instructions and photos. Also you will get into basic jo-staff, tanto, and sword grips. So if your starting out or interested you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK it is probably one of the best and is the easiest to follow.

Summary: A great introduction to basic taijutsu!
Comment: This is one of Hayes's first "instructional" books on ninjutsu, and it does a good job teaching the "basics." Hundreds and hundreds of great pictures saturate most of the pages, making it an easy-to-follow guide for beginners. Still, it's hard to learn simply by following Hayes's movements. The reader ought to have some understanding of the fundamentals--ideally through lessons from a certified Bujinkan instructor--before putting this book's techniques to use. Nonetheless, it's a great one to read and to own. Hayes, of course, is more than qualified as an instructor. I own almost all of his literature, and I enjoy reading them over and over as a reminder for the basics. It still feels like I gain something new every time I read one of his books--an excellent complement to ninjutsu classes!
