Who do you guys consider a reliable author on ninjutsu? Hatsumi alone? the ancient japanese texts? Hatsumi and some of his students? Tanemura?
It's all so confusing. I went to B & N yesterday to try to find good books on the subject, and most of the books I found were by Ashida Kim and Haha Lung (the irony of the name "haha" is just comical), and had titles like "Ninja mind control", etc...and I just had to laugh.
But what about Stephen Hayes? Is he considered a reliable author? He was supposed to have been hatsumi's first American student right? Or is that just BS too? His books had a lot of that "mystical ninja" stuff too.
Help!!!
