This book is not a martial arts manual. It is not about how to become a ninja, nor is it a “10-day black belt course.” Although ninjutsu has been introduced to the Western world since the 1980s, there are still many misconceptions and debates surrounding it. Some have taken advantage of the “shadow” of misinformation to create and promote their own styles based merely on a black costume and a few street-fighting techniques. Others remain fascinated by the word “ninja,” imagining magical powers and invincibility, while some even think of assassins or thieves.
If we were to ask ten people on the street what a ninja is, we would most likely get ten different answers.
This book comes after more than 20 years of research into martial arts and Asian culture. It offers a unique insight into the classical art of ninjutsu: its places of origin, explained through the words of a mentor and researcher who has dedicated his entire life to it. It includes photographs of sites of historical significance and milestones in the evolution of this art.
It also presents translated excerpts from the BanSenShuKai, the ninja secret manual compiled in the 17th century during the Edo period.
It is a journey into the “intelligence services” of feudal Japan, uncovering the ways, methods, and skills of people who played crucial roles in history, often in the shadow of generals and warlords. The book seeks to provide a deeper understanding of ninjutsu as both an art and a way of life. It is not addressed only to martial artists, but also to anyone interested in discovering more about the intriguing “shadow warriors” from historical, cultural, and practical perspectives.
From the teachings of great generals, astrologers, and priests, ninjutsu developed a unique way to make full use of human wisdom and potential - insights that may still hold great value in our modern society.
