Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation). 
Kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics and explosives). Taijutsu (unarmed combat, using one's body as the only weapon). Seishin-teki kyōyō (spiritual refinement). Though some of them are the same, the techniques of each discipline were used with different approaches by both samurai and ninja. Ninja jūhakkei was often studied along with Bugei Jūhappan (the "18 samurai fighting art skills"). To avoid misunderstandings, "ninjutsu" should just refer to a specific branch of Japanese martial arts, unless it is being used in a historical sense.Īccording to Bujinkan members, the eighteen disciplines ( jūhakkei < jūhachi-kei) were first stated in the scrolls of Togakure-ryū and they became definitive for all ninjutsu schools, providing a complete training of the warrior in various fighting arts and complementary disciplines. The word nin carries both these meanings. Ninjutsu can also involve training in disguise, escape, concealment, archery, medicine, explosives, and poisons.Īlthough the popular view is that ninjutsu is the art of secrecy or stealth, actual practitioners consider it to mean the art of enduring - enduring all of life's hardships. It also included methods of gathering information, non-detection, avoidance, and misdirection techniques. The ninja clans used their art to ensure their survival in a time of violent political turmoil. Ninjutsu was developed as a collection of fundamental survivalist techniques in the warring state of feudal Japan. Later he came in contact with the warrior-monk Kain Doshi who taught him a new way of viewing life and the means of survival ( ninjutsu). 
This ryū was developed after a defeated samurai warrior called Daisuke Togakure escaped to the region of Iga. Throughout history many different schools (or ryū) were developed which taught their unique version of ninjutsu. It is believed to be strongly influenced by the strategic principles of Sun Tzu. Although thought to have come from Chinese expatriates, ninjutsu is believed by its adherents to be of Japanese origin. Throughout history the shinobi have been seen as assassins for hire, and have been associated in the public imagination with other activities which are considered criminal by modern standards. Ninjutsu was developed by groups of people mainly from the Iga Province of Japan.
