This video series offers a unique and comprehensive approach to learning
the art of the ninja. In these videos, Jack Hoban-a former Marine Corps
captain and one of the acknowledged "founding fathers" of ninjutsu in
America-reveals the core physical techniques of this mysterious and
often misunderstood art. Hoban, who received ninjutsu training from
Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi in Japan, is a long-time practitioner of the
martial arts. Now a shidoshi (senior instructor), Hoban is an ideal
instructor to teach ninjutsu to both new and experienced practitioners,
as well as serious students who want to move beyond the ninja myths to
practical application. Vol. 1 presents a
down-to-earth approach for learning the basics of budo taijutsu
(Japanese martial arts) and the core physical techniques of this
mysterious art. Topics include junan taiso (stretching and conditioning
exercises), san shin no kata (fundamental "body-spirit" exercises),
kihon happo (fundamental techniques) and exciting weapons footage.
