A Companion to The Ninja Saga
Attuning to the Flow
Not fortune telling. Not mysticism. The Way: Tarot is a tool of perception — a ninja's lens through which to read the world, the self, and the moment. Each card a teaching. Each spread a mirror.
The Creator
Rob Baard is not just a filmmaker — he is a real ninja. A 13th Degree Shihan in authentic Japanese Bujinkan Ninjutsu, trained directly under Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi in Japan, Rob brings something no other filmmaker can: the genuine article. Every shadow in the Ninja Saga is drawn from 30+ years of living the art.
As a director, he has worked with Hollywood legends, premiered films in Australian cinemas, and taken home awards from Los Angeles. As an author, he writes from the inside of a world most only imagine.
