Table of ContentsReviewsThe Ninja Defense shares a holistic approach to what martial arts training can encompass...This provides a great resource for modern people seeking simple solutions to violence...Overall, The Ninja Defense carries many ideas and tactics that are good for the masses: non-martial artists, beginner students, and advanced practitioners wishing to delve into a different martial art approach. - Martial Journal The contribution regarding the philosophy of martial art and what To Shin Do represents teaching which I feel has great value. The first six chapters as well as the last chapter were of particular interest to me as my own passion as an instructor and practitioner of martial arts always asks the questions on how to explain the mental aspects. Hayes and his editors I feel have done this very effectively, using relative and easy to understand terms with realistic but hypothetical situations to increase the readers understanding of these terms for practical use and further reflection. -Cyril Jackson, White Cat Publications Hayes has spent the last 20 years recasting the ninja strategies into a self-defense framework more suited to the threats and experiences of modern societies, and The Ninja Defense serves as a well organized, accessible quick introduction to these techniques.
