Unarmed Fighting Techniques Of The Samurai
I sat down and browsed through this at the bookstore recently. As someone who doesn't practice a JMA but who enjoyed several of Mr. Hatsumi's previous books, esp. the stickfighting ones, I found it very disappointing.
it has some philosophizing and long lists of the techniques of various ryu, followed by very brief descriptions ("Do A, then do B"). I can see where it would be a useful resource to a practitioner but the title is misleading. It's a partial Bujinkan syllabus, mixed with random thoughts and even more random photos. It's for enthusiasts only.
I was pleasantly surprised with the comment Soke made on Judo in the end photo of the book.
