Has anyone taken ninjutsu?

How is it the same/different from other forms of martial art?|||be very careful around anyone who claim to teach ninjutsu. I just want to warn you before you make a mistake and really disappoint yourself.





There%26#039;s more fake instructor in that art than anyother. Hell I%26#039;m 100% convinced that the nearest you will get to learn a such thing is by join military or intelligent service. Ninjitsu history have been stirred up so much over years that it%26#039;s almost impossible to know what they really are like. Hell it is quite possible they probably doesn%26#039;t even know any hands to hands combat but they were successful simply because of their stealthiness, network, and element of surprise and weapons. I believe that any hands to hands combat ninja do is almost purely based on samurai hands to hands combat.





Many instructor who claim to teach a such art tend to be really dangerous and very sick people.





Here are some example of fraud instructor:

So may you should ask yourself why you%26#039;re so interest in the art and go from there.|||I did for a month, i hated it. Too much forms and rolling around. I%26#039;d rather stick with Brazilian Jui-Jitsu or MMA training.|||Sorry... haven%26#039;t found a sensei where I live. Sounds like a very interesting discipline. Perhaps this reference will help to enlighten.

BTW - domo arigato for best answer yesterday. You seem like a truly spirited (pun intended!) individual.|||I don%26#039;t take ninjutsu, but I take To-Shin Do, a modernized version of it. It is very different from other martial arts. Even though this art is modernized, i know some classical katas as well. Also, after you are a BB, you can take classical classes.
