What is Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu ?

What are those three styles ?|||Ninjutsu - offensive/defensive ninja techniques used with Chakra. Kagebunshin, Katon Ryuha, etc.





Genjutsu - illusionary/evasive techniques. Causing people to faint, causing people to have nightmares, and making people think you disappeared into a tree fall under this category.





Taijutsu - hand-to-hand techniques that don%26#039;t require Chakra.











Aloha|||Japanese words for the various martial arts styles.|||they each pertain to the different Martial Arts disciplines of NinJitsu or the espionage martial arts primarily learned from the Lin Kuei or %26quot;Forest Demons%26quot; of Northern China who were the first to train in such disciplines and trusted very few outsiders.





Ninjas were often regarded as hired hitmen, well trained assasins or killers, or spies to get information, and thought of as criminals





It has closer ties to the Japanese as the term %26quot;ninja%26quot; has been unfortuneately been linked to for hundreds of years, as a boogeyman story to frighten children who didn%26#039;t behave.





while many of these techniques were taught and employed to evade capture, or to escape once captured, and these techniques are still out there, they are not mainstream knowledge for the public, instead more of the Ninjutsu or hand to hand combat knowledge has been taught in recent years.





there are several hundred techniques that include weather forcasting, disquise, and herbology (study of different chemicals in plants for a desired effect. example: using a mixture to paralyze a victim for a short period of time) that were also studied





Jutsu is a learned %26quot;technique%26quot; or %26quot;skill%26quot; in the art of the ninja, which many of the techniques that were taught, there are 18 major disciplines:





Seishin-teki ky艒y艒 (spiritual refinement)


Taijutsu (unarmed combat) **** (one of the disciplines you mentioned above)****


Ninja ken (sword fighting)


B艒jutsu (stick and staff fighting)


Shurikenjutsu (throwing blades)


S艒jutsu (spear fighting)


Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)


Kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle weapon)


Kayakujutsu (fire and explosives)


Hens艒jutsu (disguise and impersonation)


Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)


Bajutsu (horsemanship)


Sui-ren (water training)


B艒ryaku (military strategy)


Ch艒h艒 (espionage)


Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)


Tenmon (meteorology)


Chi-mon (geography)





so each of the 3 disciplines you asked about in your question figure into one of the disciplines above





the Anime series Naruto touches on some of the disciplines, but don%26#039;t go into detail of what they are as part of the comedy and mystique aspect of the show to keep viewers coming back to watch the next episode.





but to answer the question Genjutsu was basicaly using illusions or %26quot;magic%26quot; to confuse the enemy, ninjutsu is often used to say that it%26#039;s a technique that only a ninja would know, or perform that a %26quot;normal%26quot; person (meaning someone who hasn%26#039;t learned how perform the technique) doesn%26#039;t know how to do.





and Taijutsu (as explained above) is unarmed or hand to hand combat.





but the word ninja has better meaning, more for %26quot;enduring lifes hardships%26quot; than being thought of as a criminal or a killer.





there are several Martial Artists today who%26#039;ve trained in Ninjitsu, two of which trained under Masaaki Hatsumi, such as : Doron Navon of Israel (who developed the first ninjitsu fighting art outside of Japan), Stephen K Hayes, Glenn Morris, %26amp; Brian McCarthy.
