What is Ninjutsu & Samurai Jujutsu?

We practise a wide variety of unarmed techniques, weapons, principles and tactics which were developed throughout 900 years of turbulent war in Japan. During this period, combat became a highly skilled craft from which many schools emerged - each refining techniques and methods to suit their needs. There were schools of training for the battlefield warrior, the police, the Samurai royal guard, the Ninja assassin and the female spy. Nine of these schools have been handed down which are today studied collectively as 'Ninpo Taijutsu'. These are primarily Ninjutsu and Samurai Jujutsu schools which have many different strikes, locks, throws, restraints and weapons. The dilligent study of these arts offers a high level of technical ability in combat and a great opportunity for self-development and forging of the spirit.
