Avoid being seen. .. Seen, avoid capture. .. Captured, avoid being held. - This was the credo of the shinobi ninja of medieval Japan, and the strategy and skills required to accomplish this ideal were known as taisavaki-jutsu—the art of avoidance or, more simply, “the shadowhand." This in-depth look at these ninja shadow masters and their art is a tribute to the devastating techniques of stealth, secrecy and subterfuge that they collected, honed and practiced in order to strike down their enemies, Following a brief history of the shinobi ninja and their counterparts around the globe, 'Ninja Shadowhand' delves into the nine training halls of Ninjutsu and examines the quest for invisibility, including a discussion of the basics of human sight. The second half of the book teaches the modern shadowhander how to apply the strategies and techniques of ninja taisavaki. From ukemi methods of movement used to disguise intention to strikes, kicks, combinations, and grappling techniques used to misdirect the enemy‘s attention, the secrets of the ancient ninja come alive in this fascinating study.
