Has any body done ninjutsu, if so explain what u use (more hands than leg, mostly grappling, or what).?

I've been a student within the Bujinkan for a hair over a decade now....





In terms of what we use? Well, everything.





Kosshijutsu - nerve, muscle, %26amp; arterial pathway attacking methods





Koppojutsu - bone, joint, and body structure attacking methods





Atemijutsu - striking, with the full range of body weapons (knees, elbows, hands, feet, shin, shoulders (for example, taiken or body movement strikes), head, etc.





Now, when it comes to atemijutsu, we don't have a preference on which weapon to use moreso than another, it all depends on the situation and what's needed.





Newaza- ground combat skills





Jutaijutsu - joint locks/breaks, throws, grappling, etc





Jimewaza - choking techniques





Now, I segmented the individual aspects of what we do so you could have a regimental understanding of certain things....but it's all surmised and combined within the system.


Collectively, it's called Taijutsu (body skills) and Taisabaki (body movement).





There's no one technique that's just grappling alone, or striking alone, or whatever alone...they're all intermixed. Different body movements on the part of both attacker and defender (and those lines are blurred....both ends are taught to think as both constantly while going through waza) create differing results even when the defense mindset is the same. We're taught to constantly improvise and use what's given to us.





Then, if you throw weapons into the mix..the same basic principles of angles, distances, physics, etc are the same.


Whether we're training armed, or unarmed, it's the same thing.





Just something to also add onto this, by no means is Ninjutsu the only focus of our system. Sure, we have ninpo in our curriculum through the Togakure ryu, Gyokushin ryu, and Kumokokure ryu lineages.....but the larger majority of the system is comprised of Samurai bujutsu techniques.





Even when looking at ninjutsu itself and solely by itself, a large amount of the principles through body mechanics are the same. The differences are within the fine points and subspecialties that ninpo had that it's bujutsu cousins didn't operate with.





And that's moreso in exclusive weaponry and tools, concealment tactics and so forth. The combat itself, is basically exactly the same.

Mostly kicks, and strikes look into the history of ninjitsu it is a dark art that was sinister and used for evil back in the early 16 century,Ninpo is another word for Ninjutsu-The martial arts of Ninja (or Shinobi and not well known Kancho). Ninpo represents the larger scale of ninjutsu-The spiritual aspects (including Amatsu Tatara, spiritual refinement ect) and the Physical aspects (Taijutsu, Bikenjutsu, Sojutsu, Naginatajutsu ect). Collectively they are called Bumon and Shumon, and make up Ninpo. Ninpo translated as *Ninja law* would be incorrect, Ninpo actually translates as *Higher order of Nin*, *Higher order of Ninja* or *The way of Nin/Ninja* ect. The Nin simboll consists of uper radical and lower radical's, upper being Yaiba being a sword, lower being Kokoro/Shin being heart. A misconceptional translation of the word Nin would to put the blade over the heart which sounds sinister, but actually it represents preservance and endurance. Po consists of two radicals, the left radical being Sansui meaning water and Saru meaning to go fourth. Putting them together literally means water going forth but on a deeper scale implies the water cycle, and when Po is used in Ninpo, relates to the term Do used in many arts meaning The Way.
Reply:It's like a combination of every thing! They have a few techniques that are great for anti grapple situations! There specialty is to attack you with moves you never expect! Like a quick duck down strike counter! The wrist and shoulder strike are unique! Shoulder tackle is effective if not expected! There combinations in striking are the best I have seen! For example after they do a punch then they elbow then decide to do a back fist and elbow over and over or shoulder tackle to a throw or take down! The foot work is great! They will mostly side step in on you and try to knock you out! They don't do great on grappling and also don't fight well off there back! They will be like judo fighters!The ninjutsu is mostly kill moves! It's only a MMA of mostly all the effective Asian Arts! They tell you when you throw someone to follow through and not release! So you'll make them get an injury that will KO them or injure them! There art is intended for Medieval style of guerrilla war fare! Now it's alright but should be up dated for today's world! Stand up fighting is it's main focus! Allot of strikes like karate and a little bit of judo!
Reply:The system is called Taijutsu or something along that line. It is a mix of strikes, grapples, traps and such. Elbow strikes, hammer strikes, kicks, knees, punches, evasions, etc. are all used.


Keep in mind if you were Ninja, you used what worked best with the least amount of effort.


It is taught to be situational (by a good instructor).


Ninjutsu is a system, within that system are sets of skills, hand to hand is only one of them. I can't think of one school that teaches all of them or why they would.
Reply:look it up in wikipedia
Reply:*limited knowledge ninjas were assassins.. kill without being seen... so now a days a sniper rifle?
Reply:It's useless, don't bother with it. learn a real art.
