Ninjutsu – Secret Tactics, Techniques & Mindset Concepts From The Ancient Japanese Ninja by Tim Delavier My kids are one-quarter Japanese and they wish that their Japanese ancestry is steeped in the way of the ninja. It’s not. Their heritage is actually that of Daimyo, a feudal landowner/warlord, and our ancestors are located about one hour outside of the city of Hiroshima. Late at night, when all is quiet and everyone is asleep, a ninja creeps silently through the house in search of “treasure”. Ed Young’s wonderful illustration help to set up the surprise at the end.

Returning to the historical side of things, Zoughari sets a task of explaining the true origins and elements of Ninjutsu. This book is based on uncovering the myths and legends that surround the martial art. Whether you believe it’s good or bad, the reality is that Ninjutsu has a lot of different accounts about its practices. Even in today’s age, it has a lot of conflicting information about what is legitimate and what is not. Zoughari does a good job of researching the truths and falsehoods that surround Ninjutsu. The ninja are introduced not as magical or almost mythical people, but rather as supreme martial artists who have reached the highest level and seek to progress further. It is suggested that by becoming ninja they strive to advance to an even higher plane, gaining skills such as haragei, or sensing the surrounding world in a different manner. However, we soon learn this is not without a high personal cost. Shaolin Monastery: In addition to being the birthplace of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, Shaolin is the first temple that institutionalized kung fu. Because of its long famous association with Shaolin Kung Fu and development of many other Chinese martial arts, it is considered the cradle of kung fu. It is initially set in Japan following the end of World War II and follows the story of Lustbader's hero Nicholas Linnear, a man raised by Anglo-Chinese parents. My son delighted in this easy chapter book series when he was in first and second grade about a Japanese ninja family with special abilities to turn into their spirit animal.

Each node represents a particular content skill from the curriculum, for example, rounding numbers to a given number of decimal places. There is nothing more fun, in my mind, than a fractured fairy tale … except for a fractured NINJA fairy tale! And this one even rhymes in an unusual but run to read A BB CC pattern! [picture book, ages 4 and up] This book is ideal for learning about the fighting tactics of Ninja’s and as the title suggests, it’s all illustrated too. Sometimes, descriptions are helpful but without visual aids, it can be difficult to try and learn purely by reading. Because of this, The Illustrated Ninja Handbook has you covered. This book is ideal for beginners too as it covers a lot of the basics and is quite basic in its approach. It is basically a step-by-step guide on how to incorporate Ninjutsu into a fighting scenario.As a youth, Linnear is introduced to the world of aikido, kenjutsu, and iai-jutsu at a local dojo of the Itto Ryu also attended by his cruel and violent older cousin Saigō. Linnear is a natural and soon becomes adept, much to the annoyance of Saigō. During a training exercise Nicholas and Saigō duel and Nicholas defeats him. Saigō is enraged and leaves swearing revenge. A young woman joins their ranks, and she helps a young girl who is inspired to train in martial arts herself. Read this to your girls as a story of female empowerment! [picture book, ages 6 and up]
