The Essence of Budo: The Secret Teachings of the Grandmaster
Hatsumi Sensei's new book is out:
Bujinkan Books in English
Bujinkan Training DVDs
The following DVDs are produced by the Bujinkan Soke (Dr Masaaki Hatsumi). These DVDs are in Japanese with English subtitles. Although a little pricey they are well worth the money. You can sometimes get them second hand on eBay, but be aware there are pirates passing them off as originals. See the Queststation website for a comprehensive list of Bujinkan training DVDs produced by Dr Hatsumi.
Bujinkan Books in Japanese
The following three books are re-prints of a set of books from the early 1990s which have more recently been difficult to get hold of and thus often sold overpriced on eBay. They are much cheaper on amazon.co.jp, and are definitely worth buying as future reference books. Although written in Japanese they contain hundreds of photos of weapons techniques from the densho. The first of the books below is all about spear (Yarijutsu aka Sojutsu) techniques. The second book below is a book on Bo-Jutsu, and the final book covers Hanbo-Jutsu, Jute-Jutsu, and Tessen-Jutsu.
