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.

General Charles C. Krulak, 31st Commandant of the United States Marine Corps:
“Whether on the Battlefield or in the Boardroom, a strong value system is the most precious weapon of all. Nobody understood this more than Bob Humphrey. I cherish the time I spent with this remarkable man and count myself as blessed to have been under his tutelage."
William S. Sessions, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation: “Professor Humphrey's fresh look at human nature gives us insights and methods to break down walls between groups in conflict which can impact and help reduce cross-cultural violence.”
Colman Genn, Center for Educational Innovation and former Superintendent, New York City School System: “Bob Humphrey’s Life Values theory represents the clearest and most satisfying explanation of human nature in the last three thousand years of philosophy.”
Captain Jack E. Hoban, USMCR: As Bob Humphrey talked, I felt that prickly sensation on the back of my neck. It was powerful, and really quite physical. The things that he said, the stories he told, touched me in a way that has changed me forever. I was stunned to hear him explain, clearly and matter-of-factly, the meaning of life. |
