EXOTIC WEAPONS of the NINJA

 

(CD-ROM E-Book)

 

Description:

 

This in-depth CD-ROM E-Book takes a very close look at the many weapons and “weapon-tools” that the ingenious ninja devised during the feudal ages of Japan’s past.

 

For the serious martial artist that wishes to broaden his/her  overall  perspective of these awesome and cleverly contrived farm tools and how they were adapted for martial combat against seemingly superior weapons such as the samurai sword, spear  and the likes—this is a MUST for your martial arts library.

 

Weapon historian,  expert and author  Sid Campbell reveals every subtle nuance about these ancient weapon ways.  Way before James Bond and all of this “high-tech” new-fangled weapon devices, the infamous Ninja operative’s of Japans bloody past had “tools” that were most insidious and very lethal.  All are included in this extensive book that took forty years to research. 

 

 The ninja warrior clans of feudal Japan were renowned for their vast arsenal of exotic weapons.  Whether a mission of espionage, assassination, or open warfare, "shinobi" operatives had a number of devastating and deviously lethal devices they could call upon to elude, silence, wound or kill an enemy.

 

Now, pioneer martial artist Sid Campbell presents an exhaustive illustrated reference to the traditional and improvised weapons of these mysterious shadow warriors.  Campbell details the development, training, and use of ninja sickles, staffs, and canes, pole arms, grapnels, maces, fist loads, spikes, swords, weighted chains, cleated weaponry, and firearms.  He also takes a close look at the four types of weapons the ninja used so effectively to enhance their reputation as elusive, unpredictable, and even supernatural warriors: invisible, clawed, air propelled, and pyrotechnic.

 

 

During the worldwide Ninja “craze” this work was a very popular and highly informative book detailing the many weapons in the “Shinobi’s” arsenal.  It was published by Paladin Press in Boulder, Colorado and by Carol Publishing in Canada.  Now the copyrights have reverted to Sid Campbell of which the author considers it to be ideal material for a serious documentary about the lives, times and ingenious weapons of Japan’s infamous Ninja operatives.
