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. |
