Ninjutsu schools, classes, dojos, in Japan - About Ninjutsu:
The history of ninjutsu is clouded by the very nature of the art itself. There is little documented history, and much of what is known was handed down as part of an oral tradition and documented by later generations. This has led to a lot of debate regarding the authenticity of the lineages claimed by the art's instructors. Training progresses through skills in Taihenjutsu (Body changing skills), which include falling, rolling, leaping, posture, and avoidance; Dakentaijutsu (Striking weapons body techniques) using the entire body as a striking tool/weapon - how to apply and how to receive; and Jutaijutsu (Supple body techniques) locks, throws, chokes, holds - how to apply and how to escape.
