The Ninja Way: The Story of the Israeli dojo

While writing the upcoming book “It Takes a Ninja,” Ilan Gattegno realized that many of his published writings on the Bujinkan were no longer accessible to his fellow practitioners.

He felt it important to share the contribution of the Israeli Dōjō to the understanding of Bujinkan spirit in the world.

Many people were exposed to Doron Navon, instructor of the Israeli Dōjō, but only through his translating for Hatsumi Masaaki.

This book tells the story as Gattegno experienced it since beginning training in November 1974 when Doron returned to Israel after spending eight years in Japan.*** Included are these chapters - The Connection: Israel on the Map, Takamatsu: The Teacher of Todays’ Ninja Leader, Hatsumi Masaaki: The Enigma Continues, Doron Navon: The Test of Truth, Ishizuka Tetsuji: A Close Up on a Master Instructor, Nagato Toshiro: The Gentle Giant, Next Generation: Teaching the Art, Watch and Learn: Licensed to Drive, The Requirements: Setting a Standard, Seigyo Through Metsubushi: Control through Blinding, Working for the Future: Letting Go, Back to the Hombu Dōjō.
