Ninjutsu is more than just a martial art. Ninjutsu is an all environment and all terrain system for the survival of self and others. Utilizing his environment, a ninja will make use of whatever he has at his disposal in order to maximize his chances for successful survival or an escape. A student of Ninjutsu will run, hide, or fight using any and all means necessary. His weapons range from firearms to nostalgic weapons or anything else he can improvise on the spot. When you hear the term “martial arts” you typically may think of punches, kicks, & some forms of self defense that involves joint locks or throws. In addition to that, a Ninjutsu practitioner will escape, evade or trick a possible attacker. Ninjutsu examines the strategy before the conflict ever happens and assess the risks associated with fight. Ninjutsu always looks to de-escalate a situation yet ready to instantly take an aggressive position whenever necessary.
