The Essence of Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu History and Tradition by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi
The following is an excerpt from an essay on the essence of Ninjutsu by Toshitsugu Takamatsu (33rd headmaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu).

"Ninjutsu epitomizes the fullest concept of self protection through martial training in that the ninja art deals with the protection of not only the physical body, but the mind and spirit as well. The way of the ninja is the way of enduring, surviving, and prevailing over all that would destroy one. More than merely delivering strikes and slashes, and deeper in significance than the simple outwitting of an enemy; ninjutsu is the way of attaining that which we need while making the world a better place. the skill of the ninja is the art of winning."
