The Shinobi Survival Manual: A SERE manual for the mosern ninja.

 SERE school is a classified military school that is a requirement for Special Operations Units, fighter, bomber and spy plane pilots, and certain other groups. The CIA may have something similar for their people or they may use the military SERE school. 

SERE stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape. Sounds pretty ninja right? Well I explain to the reader all the core principles of how a ninja infiltrator would operate behind enemy lines, including the resistance part going over tracking and counter tracking, how to escape handcuffs and shackles, primitive and historical ninjutsu methods of survival, along with modern methods of cache supplies. How search patterns work and how to beat them. 

I recently pulled it when I realized that I didn't include the information on evasive driving like how to counter the pit maneuver and the rolling road block. This book contains the Black Dragon Ninja's EDC kit; every day carry kit and how to use it. 

Survival is more than a ninjutsu practitioner's ability to use boy scout level field craft or more advanced bush craft. In a way it is all of that and more. While I am adding to what I already wrote, I will also update Army of Shadows and the Shadow Hunter Manual for Black Dragon Ninjitsu Sniper Program (good thing that the Trump Sniper never read it), as I also address how to hide from night vision and thermal devices. 

Black Dragon Ninjitsu is not a martial art but, a strategic combat survival system that contains elements of martial arts and battlefield strategies and tactics both historical and modern. The ninja is not a member of the now non-existent warrior caste trained in skirmish and guerrilla tactics, though that statement is historically accurate. Nor is the ninja a practitioner of Japanese jujutsu in a black gi. The ninja is an archetype of the elite warrior-assassin-spy who uses low tech, no tech and even 21st Century high-tech tools for a single purpose; to serve the highest standard of self-discipline, self-improvement, self-actualization, and Self-sacrifice. 

That last line may appear selfish, but it is the self that puts everything into motion. It is the self, the individual who begins training and who keeps training and who seeks to improve their training and their skills adding more tools to their proverbial toolbox. So self-discipline is the first step in learning to control the desires and emotions of the individual to resist the trapping of their enemies, including the worst enemy of all their self. Self-improvement is built on the foundation of self-discipline and, self-actualization is the purpose of training; to put training and self-improvement into action and, becoming a hidden influence upon the world around the individual. Finally, comes Self-sacrifice; the willingness to work in service to a higher goal beyond the self. The Individual must be willing to die for what they believe in, but not just die; die in a way that serves and promotes that higher idea. Because whatever you are willing to die for, you must also be willing to live for it too...

Thus, all the self-empowerment is thrown away as you are living and dying for something greater than yourself. In this way, your life and your training becomes an act of selflessness.
