Ho, an Interview with Stephen Hayes. The sole person certified by togakure-ryu ninjutsu grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi to teach this art in the United States, and the first non-Oriental ever awarded the title shidoshi, "teacher of the warrior ways of enlightenment," in the history of togakure-ryu ninjutsu, explores the use of natural body postures and movements, and attack angles and striking tools. He also dispels popular myths about ninjutsu. Hayes became a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame in 1985 as Instructor of the Year. |
