Hoban is one of 88 former active duty Marines profiled in a new
book called "Above & Beyond: Former Marines Conquer The Civilian World ." This book introduces a mix of
former Marines who are very successful in the civilian fields
they have chosen; some of these former Marines you already know,
and many you don't know. You will meet reservists, "one-termers"
and "lifers," as well as a former Marine Commandant
who is very successful in the private sector. You will find out
a little bit about each person profiled, but as you read the
stories collectively, you will see a camaraderie of many races,
ages, and personalities that make up the U.S. Marine Corps.
Above & Beyond is a must for former, current and future
Marines and their families. A portion of all proceeds will
support Marine Corps charities. Click here

The
The
Last Ninja - Bujinkan TaiKai (3 DVD set) with Soke
Masaaki Hatsumi is available.
| In
August of 2003, 72 year-old Masaaki Hatsumi, the
GrandMaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu, left his home in
Japan and came to the United States to demonstrate the
true art of the ancient Japanese Ninja. Hatsumi’s
system is called "Bujinkan" and contains
elements of classic combat martial arts, as well as, the
mysterious art of Ninjutsu.
This
DVD contains the incredible techniques and fighting
style of the Ninja, including esoteric weaponry and hand
to hand fighting. Hatsumi’s teaching style is very
conversational and gives insight into the warrior life
philosophy of, perhaps, the most mysterious guerilla
fighters who ever lived.
Now at
an advanced aged, but still remarkable strong and agile
due to decades of his Ninja training, Hatsumi has said
that he will never teach again outside of Japan. His
retirement from international instruction is the end of
an era.
