A Look At Ninjutsu
The martial art known as Ninjutsu is very secret, with a very clouded history. The history isn’t documented all that well, as most of what is known about martial art is that which has been passed down from generation to generation. There are a lot of historical records that state families from the Koga region as being the creators of this very secret style.
Over 70 different Ninjutsu Ryu have been identified and discovered over the years, however, most of them have died out. A majority of them were created around a set of specific techniques and skills, although when those skills of a specific Ryu were no longer needed or wanted, the Ryu seems to die out and fade away from existence.
The art of Ninjutsu
The art of Ninjutsu is best associated with the ninjas from ancient Japan. The ninjas are well known all around the world, for their stealth and very secreted life. The ninja is known to have gone through very tough and demanding training, which hardly anyone really knows about. Those that were actual ninjas are either dead or not allowed to let anyone know their true identity.
During the 1980s, when the ninja trend really hit the United States, the instructors of Ninjutsu popped out all over the place, making black a very happening color. Years later, the trend seemed to die out, and there aren’t that many people trying to learn the art.
In regards to the art, the term Ninjutsu doesn’t actually refer to any certain style, but rather a group of martial arts, with each one having its own view that’s expressed with each of the different Ryu. The Ryu vary, meaning that one may focus on one certain physical dynamic, while the next may be focused on redirection.
What many people aren’t aware of, is the fact that Ninjutsu involves both unarmed and armed fighting skills, along with philosophy, strategy, and history. There are a few dojos that offer the art, many of them being quite comprehensive in the way they teach.
During combat, Ninjutsu focuses on distance, posture, and flow. Stylists are taught to react to every movement and respond in ways that will place them in an advantageous position. From being in a position of advantage, the stylist can effectively change the outcome of the encounter – quickly going from negative to positive.
Those that practice the martial art of Ninjutsu are instructed and trained to use their entire body for everything they do, which provides the most leverage and power. Ninjutsu is well known in Japan, and for good reason. It is a very secretive martial art, yet very powerful. The techniques can be used for self-defense, along with stealth. It can be great martial art to learn – if you can find a dojo that teaches it.
