I have no idea how authentic any of this is. It's all weapons, and doesn't show any empty-handed techniques. Not to mention all the diagrams use ninja turtles, who only have three fingers.
But it's still a fun behind-the-scenes look at how the turtles move.

Today's #ComicShowAndTell book is actually a martial arts manual!
Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Authorized Martial Arts Training Manual (pub. 1986) illustrates stances and step-by-step forms for each of the turtles' signature weapons. I can only imagine how many kids tried these out with sticks and whatnot.
