The Art of the Ninja
by Jack Hoban
This video series offers a unique and comprehensive approach to
learning the art of the ninja. In these videos, Jack Hoban--a former
active duty Marine Corps Captain and one of the acknowledged
"founding fathers" of Ninjutsu in America--reveals the core
physical techniques of this mysterious and often misunderstood art.
Hoban, who received Ninjutsu training from Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi
in Japan, is a long-time practitioner of the martial arts. Now a
Shidoshi (senior instructor), Hoban is an ideal instructor to teach
Ninjutsu to new and experienced Ninjutsu practitioners, alike.
Similarly, serious students who want to move beyond the Ninja myths to
practical application of the art will also benefit from watching these
videos.

General
Charles C. Krulak, 31st Commandant of the United States Marine
Corps: “Whether on the Battlefield or in the Boardroom,
a strong value system is the most precious weapon of all. Nobody
understood this more than Bob Humphrey. I cherish the time I spent
with this remarkable man and count myself as blessed to have been
under his tutelage."
William S. Sessions,
former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
“Professor Humphrey's fresh look at human nature gives us
insights and methods to break down walls between groups in
conflict which can impact and help reduce cross-cultural
violence.”
Colman Genn, Center
for Educational Innovation and former Superintendent, New York
City School System: “Bob Humphrey’s Life Values theory
represents the clearest and most satisfying explanation of human
nature in the last three thousand years of philosophy.”
Captain Jack E.
Hoban, USMCR: As Bob Humphrey talked, I felt that prickly
sensation on the back of my neck. It was powerful, and really
quite physical. The things that he said, the stories he told,
touched me in a way that has changed me forever. I was stunned to
hear him explain, clearly and matter-of-factly, the meaning of
life.
