Ninjutsu Techniques

When learning ninja techniques you need to not only learn ninjutsu techniques, you must master ninjutsu basics. Much of the basics are taught through kihon happo. The kihon happo are transmitted through kata, a Japanese word which can be translated as “model”. Kata are used to transfer the essence of a principle.

The kata is a ninja technique for learning a self defense response to a specific incoming attack or threat. In this “works right out of the box” learning style, ninjas learn ninjutsu lessons in real terms or, “What happens in real life when you apply a basic principle to an incoming force”.

Ninja technique terminology can be very confusing. After all, you are learning a new language, Japanese. But some of the basic ninjutsu technique terms, like kata, are critical to begin to speak with other ninjutsu practitioners in meaningful ways. These are just some of the terms you will learn in detail in Ninja Training Techniques:

• Ninjutsu kamae – Kamae can be translated as stance or posture. You will also see it as “no kamae”
• Kihon Happo – These are the basic 8 kata that hold all the  basic principles of the art. The kihon hoppo is so important that any legitimate ninjutsu technique training must have it in the curriculum
• Ninjutsu – The full body of work that is the art. This includes weapons, knock downs, invisibility, information gathering, etc.
• Ninjutsu taijutsu – This is actually a redundant term. Taijutsu refers to the “empty handed” style (no weapons) which is just one area of the art of ninjutsu .

To really study ninja techniques you need to have good ninjutsu instruction. In my ninjutsu tutorial book you will learn advanced ninja techniques including:

• Ninjutsu throws
• Ninjutsu balance taking
• How to turn an attackers energy back against them
• Powerful elemental ninja techniques based on the elements of earth, water, wind and fire
• Striking techniques
