History Of Ninjutsu
A ninja is understood to be a "covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing
in unorthodox arts of war." The functions of the ninja involved espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, along with open combat in several scenarios."" Ninjutsu does not have a clear history because this martial art was meant to be practiced furtively. The object of the art was concealment, thus, the discipline follows the actual practice.What we do know is that the art originally came from the land of the rising sun, Japan. An early mountaineer created the art from complicated techniques of survival.
The legend has it that a ninja by the name of Juhakkei studied side by side with a samurai warrior named Juhappan. Together, each of them created two different martial arts with very similar standards. In Ninjutsu, these came to be identified as the 18 disciplines which has now turn out to be the standard through which all schools of Ninjutsu are to conform.
Another figure in the development of Ninjutsu was a man who was called Masaaki Hatsumi. Hatsumi heads the Bujinkan Dojo. Hatsumi was one of the few original teachers of Bujinkan. He modernize the Ninjutsu traditions to to cope up with the changing and developing needs of the younger generation of Japanese people. Hatsumi is now known as the overall head of Ninjutsu itself. The Densho, or the 18 disciplines written in ancient scrolls is in his possession. The ancestry of Hatsumi could be traced back to 34 generations which make authorities on Ninjutsu consider his family as the original founder.
Ninjutsu is one of the most popular subjects for Hollywood movies and TV shows, Way of the Ninja, the Kill Bill series, Mortal Kombat, Ninja Assassin, Ninja 2010 were some of them. But, sad to say, none of these movies are true to history. Real ninjas may find Hollywood's version somewhat exasperating or even embarrassing. But because of the ninja's vow of secrecy, they cannot come out within the open and show the truth of the art. It's also possible that Ninjutsu's nasty reputation came from the entertainment industry. The real meaning of the art can only be understood by true followers of Ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu is not as practical as a martial art as it once was in Japanese history. There are still a lot of individuals who believe that it has some applications in society at the present time.
