America -real the core of physical techniques of this mysterious and
often misunderstood art. Hoban, who received ninjutsu training from

taisabaki (basic body movement), ukemi (injury prevention) and
taihenjutsu (movement to avoid danger). Other topics include rolling,
breakfalls, cartwheels, leaping techniques, avoiding sword cuts, and
