Description: This is a translation of Fujita Seiko's work on weak points of the human body and their use in martial arts. Fujita Seiko was said to be the last grandmaster of Koga ryu ninjutsu. To be exact, he was the head of his family art, the Wada-ha (Wada-sect) of the Koga ryu. As a child, Fujita ran away from home and stayed with yamabushi (mountain ascetics) for several months. When he returned home, his grandfather offered to teach him the family art of ninjutsu in return for a pledge that he would not attempt to run away again. Fujita had no sons, and let the art die with him. Over the course of his life, Fujita studied many arts. He was famous among the martial arts community. After the war, there was a brief period of time when training in martial arts was banned. Convinced that it was an American plot to destroy the soul of the Japanese people, Fujita gathered all the information he could on martial arts and put it into book form to preserve it for later generations. This book is the result of his research into various martial arts of Japan and their secrets on how to use weak points. The original text and illustrations are included, with the translation on the side. The translator is Don Roley, who lived for many years in Japan studying martial arts. As such, he is better able to understand the nuances of martial arts terms than a more generic translator. If when you order, you ask for a signature by the translator, it will be happily provided.
