"Advanced Stick Fighting is a wonderful book that gives insight into one of the lesser known martial arts of Ninjutsu." —BookLoons Reviews"Hatsumi offers the reader thoughtful reflections on bushido, its venerable history and its role in today’s world. He also discussed the origins of bo-jutsu, which he sees as inexorably lined to the evolution of human-kind; it is both universal and timeless." —Rafu Shimpo"Lavish illustrations accompany the explanations and help further demonstrate the graceful, mysterious movements of stick fighting." —www.ninjutsu.com (Online)
