A
Look At Ninjutsu
Japanese Martial Arts Of Ninjas
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 the 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 to 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
is best associated with the ninja's 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 went 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 1980's, 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 of Ninjutsu
doesn't actually refer to any certain style,
but rather a group of the martial arts, with each one having it's 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 dojo's that offer the art, many of them being quite
comprehensive with 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 the advantage 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 or self defense, along with stealth. It can be a
great martial art to learn - if you can find a dojo that teaches it.
