i don't take ninjitsu but i think my answer will cover almost any martial artform.
You can teach yourself anything. The problem is without someone with experience watching over you, correcting your form, you may not be peforming the techniques correctly. Judging on what you see in a video or read in a book, you may think you are doing it right but you really aren't.
My suggestion is always to take actual classes first before even watching a video or reading a book about it. Learning similar techniques first will make learning from the video/book easier and you'll be able to understand the technique you are seeing/reading about better.
I think the videos and books are more beneficial for those that are currently training or instructing.

No.
There is a LOT of subtlety to Ninjitsu that you're going to miss in the books and videos, plus things don't always work like the book shows--there are relationships of height, reach, and distance that you *have* to work out with other people.
People also have different tolerances to pain and compliance holds, and different levels of flexibility for jointlocks, and without actually *working* this with a variety of people it won't work.

It is possible to teach yourself any martial art. Bruce Lee was a major advocate of being self taught. He felt that being taught by and individual limited a person to the style of their shidoshi/sensei. The best course of action is to study a few martial arts of various types and styles for a little while and then find your own fluid, your own technique and method that suits you. Develop your own technique in the tradition of ninjitsu if that is what you are striving for.

yes, to an extent. but it would take serious dedication to the art of invisibility. In actuality you may invent your own form if you are self taught. There are many books to study, and many scripts to read in order to embrace the correct state of mind and fighting skill needed to be a trained ninjitsu warrior.

yes and no! if you have already mastered another art, then you have the possibility that you could learn ninjistu. But only, and only if you have already mastered art that deals with some similarity's with ninjistu. Other then that no.
you can never learn any martial art by yourself, if you haven't had any previous training

Impossible, unless you are looking to learn fake ninjitsu. You need to find a real living Japanese ninja clan first. Good luck!

rick tew?
I would rather learn from bruce lee, who I don't believe is any kind of real martial artist.
There is no ninjutsu out there. People are being taken. It's all NON-jutsu.
People became ninja by being kidnapped as children. Sad to say. Forget it. Learn some real martial arts from a real teacher.

You have asked so many questions simalar to this, just watch t.v and copy them, but to be a true ninja you would have to get a trainer
