Martial art[edit]
Currently, ninjutsu is limited to the use of strikes, joint locks, throws,
demolitions and use of traditional weapons; seeking to shape the individual, in a manner similar to
set of modern traditional martial arts ormodern martial artscurrent (as

However, it is a common historical error to consider conceptually separate the
combat techniques of the ninja and the samurai warrior, given that they are a
evolution or adaptation of these (according to certain authors). Perhaps because of the spectacle
cinematic and erroneous documentaries, the ninja is often considered the enemy
of the samurai, when reality points to a possible symbiosis that would place them in more
close communion. Let us emphasize that many ninja leaders were also samurai of
renaming, which hid their clandestine condition as indicated by tradition; and even
many ninja served as spies and informants to different feudal clans; serving
on rare occasions as killers.

Coinage of the term Shinobi or ninja[edit]

There are those who say that it was Prince Shotoku Taishi who named shinobi a great
strategist in information gathering. This means maker, Noque is an expert.

17.Shurikenjutsu: launching techniques ofShuriken, it is not common for a samurai.

As can be seen, the skills of the ninja are a refinement, or if you will, a
specialization in the way of understanding the art of war of the samurai. This leads us
about an interrelation between the ninja and the samurai, which is far from being similar to the one that
presents cinematography, perhaps pointing towards an osmosis, both at the level of knowledge,
as well as tactics and strategy, and even of human beings. Not for nothing,

that which would be useful for his work).
The ninja outfit (shinobi gioshinobi shuzoku)[edit]
The various schools of Ninjutsu that exist today mainly employ
onetraining uniformblack or dark blue. Despite popular belief, the traditional suit
the folklore ninja hooded black is just a popular concept, derived from
the clothes worn by the stagehands of the theaterKabuki, to blend in with the background
dark in color. The usefulness of that clothing for remaining unnoticed was assimilated
syncretically as part of the ninja's attire in Japanese folklore.

Styles[edit]
Among the most well-known schools or 'Ryu' (it is believed that inJapanlast a few
more reserved only for Japanese) at a global level is the associationBujinkanfrom Soke Dr.
Masaaki Hatsumi, and the styleGenbukanfrom Master Shoto Tanemura.
