Description

In the Art of War, Sun Tzu says: "If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Welcome to the secret world of the ninja master! The Illustrated Ninja Handbook is your ultimate guide to the esoteric knowledge and teachings of the ancient Japanese ninja masters. It provides ninjutsu devotees with the first detailed understanding of this shadowy and mysterious martial art form.

Remigiusz Borda lives and teaches in Poland. In addition to running his own ninjutsu dojo, he is a highly respected painter whose work has been exhibited internationally.

"Beautifully and thoroughly illustrated, Remigiusz Borda's work is a delightful compendium of history, terminology, and concepts associated with our ninja tradition. His passion for both the martial arts and visual arts is demonstrated through the care and detail he has invested in this work. It will serve as a reference point for both beginners and experts in ninja lineages worldwide." --Kevin Keitoshi Casey, author of The Ninja Mind "Illustrated Ninja Handbook is a masterfully produced book, with its beautiful full-color artwork and captivating layout. The book re-visits in fresh format a lot of the ground that has fascinated fans of the ninja arts for the decades since my original ninja book The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art brought the once-secret lore to the West." --Stephen K. Hayes, Black Belt Hall of Fame, author of The Ninja Defense and The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art "Much like the newer Tuttle books, this instructional is filled with hundreds of full-color photos arranged in dynamic presentations to show every little nuance of the technique being demonstrated. [...] It is definitely a good read on ninjitsu for a number of reasons, and I think it is a very solid entry point into the world of ninjitsu, easily better than other books on the market that do not give you this much hands-on info." --TheFightNerd.com blog
