Synopsis

For many centuries, Fudebakudo, the Way of the Exploding Pen, has been kept hidden from outsiders. Masters of the art have passed into legend for the secrecy of their techniques and the elusiveness of their knowledge. Finally, after years of painstaking and painful research, this book represents the definitive collection of the martial art of Fudebakudo. Discover the best material for your black belt, and why samurai skilled in hojojutsu never fell for the "undone shoelace" trick. What's the difference, really, between karate and taekwondo? why are there no buttons in the martial arts? How do ninja turn invisible? Fudebakudo answers these questions.
