Prologue
Strength
Kevin Casey became a student under Stephen K. Hayes in 1998,
eventually receiving his To-Shin Do warrior name Keitoshi with his
san-dan third-degree black belt in 2007. Casey co-founded his own
dojo, the Boulder Quest Center in Boulder, CO.
Stephen K. Hayes was the first American to be accepted as a
student by Masaaki Hatsumi, the 34th master of the Togakure-ryu
Ninjutsu tradition. He is a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame
and the founder of To-Shin Do, a mind and body self-protection
system. He is the author of The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art
and Ninja Defense. Hayes currently lives in Dayton, Ohio.
"The journey towards grasping the needed lessons will not be easy;
it will not be comfortable or quick … but it is worth it. We'd like
to show you how." —From the foreword by Stephen K. Hayes
"The subtitle of this new book [ … ] lets you know what Kevin
Keitoshi Casey set out to do when he wrote it. The author focuses
on less-obvious facets of the art such as physical strength, mental
strength, spirit strength and negative emotions." —Black Belt
Magazine
"Martial arts-centered books tend to slant in one of two
directions: either the spiritual side of things (which makes many
of them read like self-help books), or the physical side (which
turns them into a how-to manual for instructional use). Casey
manages to combine both sides in The Ninja Mind, along with a
generous through line of personal narrative." —Jenn Zuko Boughn,
author of Stage Combat; blogger at Bonzuko (Daily-Cross Swords)
"…most with an open mind will find Casey's story and narrative
provocative. Casey's book is more than conjecture, and, in many
ways speaks to the heart of the origin of the ninja myths."
—Tallahassee Writers Association
