Dr. Hatsumi has taught thousands of individual students as well as instructing at law enforcement agencies all over the world, and has received numerous accolades from politicians and spiritual leaders of many nationalities. He has also worked as a professional osteopath, acted in a popular television series, is the author of many books and DVDs on Ninjutsu and Budo, and was for many years Chairman of the International Department of the Japan Literary Artists' Club.

    A good starting book for the use of the 'hanbo' (not for the 'jo')...

    As with anything else, this book should not replace actual instruction on the proper use of the 'hanbo' (3 foot stick) as opposed to the 'jo' (approximately 4 foot stick). You still need to learn 'taijutsu' basics (as practiced by the Bujinkan) to condition the body before attempting to learn the techniques in the book. This book does NOT have any techniques on the use of the 'jo' (as one reviewer has mentioned).

    Great book for Jo

    I found this to be an excellent text for a refreasher or learning the use of the Jo. The pictures are excellent and with a good training partner you can get most of the basics down. Of course nothing can replace an instructor...but this is a good aid.

    descriptive... a fine work by the grandmaster

    the single best ninjutsu manual yet. As hatsumi states on the back cover ''the ideal weapon for self defense is the stick' who am i to argue! sticks are everywhere. over fifty techniques for sticks describe step by step with feet, hip and arm movement shown in detail.
