the ninja culture from this era. Here we see much of the traditional motion and influences and we are beginning to see traces of the dynamic, Americanization of the art that was Bussey's trademark in later years. Topics covered include: Pressure points, rolling techniques, weapons of the hand, mobility & flexability, fighting stances, techniques of the foot & leg, stealth, defensive body techniques, invisibilty, sword, ninja group travel, herbs/edible plants, techniques for measuring time, communication/signals, survival skills, knot tying, rappelling, wind measurement, etc.
