Large pictures that can't begin to give a feel for the speed of this artist. Oh, for a video. In two sections, the first half of the book is an excellent reference and contains a substantial amount of primary source quotations that make it a valuable compilation on its own. The second section of forms and stop-motion photographs of sequenced attacks is less valuable but wards and stances are well researched and provide some source material. Most of this techinique won't leave your flute on playable condition, but there are some tidbits for form here.
Pictures show only final positions, so dynamic is lost.
1986 Drawn from an old Chinese edition, this translation is interesting but technique lacks philosophy for intention. Useful moves for spear technique but difficult form. Rather small section on actual application. Totama Ryu Batto Jutsu basic techniques. Simple and practical with good pictures and illustrated blade paths.
