I think they mean 34th Grandmaster of Ninjutsu, not 43rd.

A great man and an even greater ninja. Master Hatsumi is truly talented and knowlegable of the blurred art of ninjutsu.

I love this, although I am not a ninja.I trained in meditation with Glenn Morris and he instilled respect for Hatsumi in me.I still meditate alot and I have been working on hand positions to go into a good beginning state for meditation. One of my hand positions is just exactly like the interlaced-fingers-for-calm thing which he is showing here... something similar is used in reflexology. So this really crosses cultures and has a univeral application in many areas. Fascinating.
