Is ninjitzu still taught?

Answer 1

That is a matter of argument even within the martial arts community. Ninjitsu as it was during feudal Japan no longer exists. This is because at its core it was an art of stealth and assasination. Obviously we can't go around teaching people to kill for a living. However, of the major principles involved, many are still taught. The parts removed or lost to the ages involve poisons, lockpicking, breaking and entering and the lost arts of Dim Mak or the "death touch", chi manipulation, invisibility and flight or extreme jumping ability. Many of those lost arts never actually existed, but were instead legends used to frighten people into submision. Death touch and chi manipluation are also still arguable points with some claiming they are not only real but also still used and others claiming they never existed.

The martial arts of Ninjitsu still remain in the form of hand to hand combat training, gymnastics training, stealth training and weapons training.

Answer 2

Ninjitsu has been around for many years, and yes it IS still taught today, there are several schools around the world.

It's not taught as it was many centurries ago, nor is it like what you may have read in books or seen in movies or tv shows like the Anime show Naruto.

Answer 3

Ninjitsu or ninjutsu , is still taught, unfortunately there are a lot of fake ninjutsu instructors out there . Stephen K. Hayes (quest centers) teaches ninjutsu . The bujinkan dojo's do also . Aside from those two and a couple others there are. only fakes .

Answer 4

No, not "real" ninjitsu.

Schools that claim to teach it are either:

A- Frauds, or

B- Teaching legit techniques of another style but unscrupulously using the term "ninjitsu" to market thier school.

If you want to be a "real-life" ninja I suggest you look up the USMC sniper school or join the cia or special forces, or look up your local mafia and become a hitman.

A USMC sniper team or one special forces soldier of ANY country (even poland) would likely take out every ninja that supposedly existed even before the ninja knew of it, why Technology. Would you send someone with a pointed stick to fight a soldier with an assault rifle? Do you think a ninja can camoflauge himself against someone wearing night-vision goggles?

Answer 5

hey there, forget what most of he people on here are saying.

yes, ninjitsu is taught in places...however the real spirit of ninjitsu is nearly lost, only a few keep it alive.

like many have said, back in japan ninjitsu was banned....so like many things that get banned...it went underground and a select few carried on the tradition.

when it came over to the west, some of its essence was lost, it was broken down and put into many forms. when ninjas were seen in films yes, many clubs did play off hat and offered ninjitsu as a cool thing to do just to create loads of money-fraudsters who just used a label to get money.

there are a select few senseis though that have kept the spirit alive and trained underground in japan with them. these senseis are very few and far between though. i m extremely lucky and fortunate to have one of my senseis who has trained in japan in the art of ninjitsu and therefore passes it on to me and my class.

im in Halifax, west yorkshire UK and you are most welcome at my class

hope that helps you
