Very importantly, the actual fighting diagrams and descriptions are awful. The attacks rely upon the enemy standing still, and often recommend doing away with your guard in the name of deception and balance. The best way to stay balanced is good footing, and a low stance, and it's generally just a bad idea to attempt deceit by intentionally removing your guard. Also, the book preaches that a ninja does not need to kill, though all but one or two of the diagramed techniques are attacks, and the blocks shown are very dependent on the situation, and rather ineffectual, and the remainder of the techniques emphasize causing great harm to your 'enemy', using key phrases such as "finish off" or "Massive blood loss causes death." One must wonder if Kim even thinks about what he writes. I think the largest problem I had with this section is that Kim tries to fit several months' worth of training into 49 poorly angled photographs, captioned with bad descriptions.

The pronunciation (when given) and spelling of foreign words seemed to be a bit off, and it was apparent to me that their use was primarily to give Kim the appearance of being more intelligent than he is. It says something, I think, that the back cover has the word 'ninjutsu' while Kim continuously spells it as 'ninjitsu' within the text.

Unless you want to pay for a piece of trash, don't get this book.

This book and Iron Body Ninja reveal alot of information just becoming available, for instance it is noteworthy that Master-Yu Liangs book Qigong Empowerment reveals the same finger knitting mudras some 10+ years later. Read my review of Iron Body Ninja.

A friend of mine bought this book years ago, was a good book, bit like the MONKEY MAGIC series which used to come on t.v. lol.
Kuji cannot be attained without years of training in taijutsu. maybe mr. kim followers dont know what that is. Anyway after i read the book i made good use of it, took to with me to the toliet and used it has bog roll.
sorry but this book cannot be taken seriously, has kuji isnt about just putting ya fingers in different positions.
