Robert A. Bussey

This book was originally written for Mr. Bussey's students at his Fremont, Nebraska dojo. It was eventually published nationally as an afterthought and went on to do very well during the 'ninja craze' of the 1980's. Heavy on photo sequences and Bussey's own artwork, this next is a classic piece of the ninja culture from this era. Here we see much of the traditional motion and influences and we are beginning to see traces of the dynamic, Americanization of the art that was Bussey's trademark in later years. Topics covered include: Pressure points, rolling techniques, weapons of the hand, mobility & flexability, fighting stances, techniques of the foot & leg, stealth, defensive body techniques, invisibilty, sword, ninja group travel, herbs/edible plants, techniques for measuring time, communication/signals, survival skills, knot tying, rappelling, wind measurement, etc. This book is rare and it is well worth a look for any fan of Bussey's or ninjutsu. -C.
