Ninpō TAIJUTSU: Volume 7 (en): The Elusive Shadow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199324267)

To Become an Untouchable Presence

What remains when an opponent can no longer find a point of support, a stable target, or a readable intention?

In this volume, you will discover how tension, relaxation, presence, and internal structure profoundly influence combat. Through the study of the center of gravity, lines of force, elusiveness, and disappearance, this book explores the subtle mechanisms that transform the relationship between you and your opponent.

Far from relying on brute strength, Ninpō Taijutsu reveals another path: the management of support points, perception, intention, and emptiness.

You will learn how to develop a presence capable of influencing your opponent, how to remove the points upon which they rely, and how the body's structure can become simultaneously stable, mobile, and difficult to grasp.

This book is intended for practitioners who wish to move beyond technique and explore the invisible principles that connect movement, perception, and martial effectiveness.

For sometimes, the best way to prevail is not to oppose force... but to no longer be where your opponent expected to find you.
