Nunjutsu
Ninjutsu is a japanese martial art that in contrast to other
martial arts also involves skills like:
horse riding, swimming skills, military strategy, espionage etc.
( find a complete list of ninjutsu
disciplines below )
At the beginning the ninja clans ( ninja => ninjutsu practicioner ) used their skills to survive
in violent times. Some chinese claim that ninjutsu originally comes form china,
because
before jujitsu was founded in japan, similar
skills were practiced in china and the practicioners were caled "REN ZHE" which translated into japanise is "NINJA".
But at this time the it was the practitioner who was called " renzhe = ninja " but there was no official ninjitsu style in China. Furthermore the chinese renzhe-skills were never developed as far as the japanese
nija skills. When some ninja clans started accepting money for their sevices, this lead
to the prejudice that all ninjas are just assasins. When firearms replaced swords, spears the services of ninjas were less and
less claimed. But the skills of ninjutsu were conserved and since the 70s ninjutsu is also
practiced outside of japan. Israel and the U.S. were the first places where ninjutsu schools were opened.

Trainer advice: Ninjutsu
- Most Ninjutsu schools don't offer the full program.
Here are a few modern styles and sports that can replace or complement some ninjutsu disciplines.
- Wushu spear & staff skills. If you learn wushu staff or spear techniques instead of ninjutsu spear and staff techniques,
make sure you don't learn a modern style. Modern styles are about appearance and not about applications.
Ninjutsu is only about applications.
