The Art of the Ninja
by Jack Hoban
This video series offers a unique and comprehensive approach to
learning the art of the ninja. In these videos, Jack Hoban--a former
active duty 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 new and experienced Ninjutsu practitioners, alike.
Similarly, serious students who want to move beyond the Ninja myths to
practical application of the art will also benefit from watching these
videos.
