In this long awaited, eye opening DVD Shihan Prather, 15th Dan Bujinkan, demonstrates two dozen grappling and ground fighting techniques from mount defenses, kick defenses, choke defenses, even knife attacks from flat on your back or stomach! Shihan, who is also a world class trainer of intelligence, police and military operators in firearms and close combat, also dispels popular myths about the invincibility of sport ground fighting versus real combat.
Greetings fellow Buyu, I hope all is well with each of you, your families, your work and your practice. We all certainly understand that what we do is not easy and requires a great commitment to find our own way and some small way to help others... so please allow me to offer you my congratulations and my thanks for your ongoing efforts to do something positive for yourselves, your families and the Bujinkan Dojo. In that respect, I have tried to make things a bit easier for us all with the creation of a new training Manual. It’s called “Shapes, Changes & Ideas, an orientation to Bujinkan training”.
The art of Ninjutsu, which came to Japan through China, is an exotic and mystical mix of beliefs, spiritual and cultural practices and a compendium of the most effective techniques of the Japanese martial arts. A Ninja is one who develops an unmovable spirit, hardens his mind and body for not surrendering before a loss or shame, and who rises above any obstacles to achieve his goals in life. I have written this book as a guide and inspiration for those like me who feel love and passion for the martial arts and special attraction for the Ninpo arts (Ninjutsu) and Budo Taijutsu

"In the fall of 1981 I moved to Dayton, Ohio to become a ninja..." And so opens the prologue to an exciting new book by former Black Belt magazine columnist Darryl Caldwell. This book tells the story of the origin of real ninja training in the West. The story uncovers:
- what separates a ninja from an assassin - how to become a ninja black belt - who was the shogun's ninja in real life, a namesake later used by director Quentin Taurantino - how the ninja's unarmed combat distinguishes itself from other systems - how a fighting staff becomes a living thing - the story of James Bond and the ninja - how a group of kids learned first-hand how to make a proper ninja suit - what a private detective learns when he gets hired to spy on a ninja school - how to train on your own without a teacher - what happened on the ninja grandmaster's first trip to the United States
There have been many books in which Hatsumi sensei is interviewed about or writes regarding the martial arts, but in "Ninpo: Wisdom for Life", the number of topics discussed is overwhelming! From diet to personal relationships, the Grandmaster reveals his unique thoughts and views on them all. In addition to philosophy, there are many references to and descriptions of techniques and methods of taijutsu and ninpo. Masaaki Hatsumi, founder of the International Bujinkan Hombu Dojo, shares with the reader his philosophy and insights into the martial arts and the world around us. From his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu, Hatsumi Sensei received the title of Sôke (grandmaster) of Togakure ryu ninpô, Shinden Fudo ryu, Kukishinden ryu, Gyokko ryu and several other warrior traditions. This work was originally available only in Japanese and is now, for the first time ever, available in English. Authorized by Hatsumi himself, the color cover, five (5) chapters, and approx. 200 pages of writing will provide you insight and wisdom for life.
