Description: Ashida Kim is a world-renowned Ninjitsu expert and the author of three other works on the Ninja. In this new book he draws on ancient wisdom, Chinese medicine, and his expertise in numerous martial arts traditions to show students of Ninjitsu the path to achieving superior strength of body, mind, and will. Iron Body Ninja reveals for the first time the secrets of the Ninja art of breath control-how to channel, collect, and cultivate the mystical force of Qi to foster health and longevity. It also offers comprehensive techniques for improving control of body and mind and developing the external and internal strength to make practitioners "invulnerable to tiger's claw or serpent's fang." Readers will learn meditation techniques and exercises aimed at attaining optimum performance of all the body's organs, limbs, and systems-endocrine, nervous, and circulatory. Lifelong fitness, greater longevity, victory over less well trained opponents, a deeper understanding of the Silent Way ... perhaps even immortality! ... await the disciplined student.
