Bushin Supplies, 1983. Trade paperback. VG. 

Ninjutsu is the strategy and tactics of unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare and espionage, purportedly practiced by the shinobi (known outside Japan as “Ninja”). Ninjutsu was a separate discipline in some traditional Japanese schools, which integrated study of more conventional martial arts (taijutsu) along with shurikenjutsu, kenjutsu, sojutsu, bojutsu and others. This book introduces the basic techniques and concepts of Ninjutsu using step-by-step graphic demonstrations, ranging from stretching to defending against weapons, and is a great resource for any student of the martial arts, or practitioners of the Japanese fighting arts.
