What a way to start Spring of 2026! Lessons in Ninpo Chimon Volume 1 is now available for purchase from Amazon in paperback as well as Kindle versions!! Here's what I posted to all the major social media sites:I am thrilled to announce the official release of my debut book, Lessons in Ninpo, Chimon Volume 1. This project marks my first foray into the literary world as an author, and it represents a significant milestone in my effort to bring technical and historical depth to the study of traditional tactics. This volume serves as a comprehensive introduction to the discipline of chimon, which emphasizes the foundational importance of understanding and mastering one's physical environment.Throughout the text, the narrative explores the intricate relationship between the practitioner and the landscape. By focusing on the technical mastery of navigation tools and the nuances of map reading, the book bridges the gap between ancient strategic wisdom and practical application. It is designed specifically for those who seek a more academic and rigorous understanding of how terrain and geography influence tactical movement and situational awareness. Whether you are a Japanese martial artist, a bushcrafter, military personnel or law enforcment officer, a practitioner of Takamatsu-den, or simply a Japanese history buff, this book is for you. Writing this book has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I am honored to finally share these insights with practitioners and scholars alike. Whether you are a dedicated student of the arts or someone fascinated by historical military geography, I hope this volume provides a valuable new perspective for your own research and practice. Lessons in Ninpo, Chimon Volume 1 is available now, and I look forward to connecting with readers as we explore these traditions together. Oh, and don't forget to leave a review!😀#Ninpo #Chimon #MartialArts #NewAuthor #Geography #Navigation

Hey there everyone!So currently I am waiting to hear back from someone involved in a section of my book, but that and the index should be it! Chimon Volume 1 is almost published! This has been literally YEARS in the making, and I hope its well received. I currently have semi-fleshed out plans for the sequel, Chimon Volume 2. I am working on it and should have it ready for printing in a couple of months. Chimon Volume 2 will be about geography and navigation in Japan, so stay tuned for that. I also have a rough outline for the Kajutsu Volume I. The amount of material that I have for that book is tremendous, so it will take a minute to complete, but slow and steady wins the race right 🐢.
