 Preface
  Ninja
were the Ultimate Warriors of feudal Japan. Cloaked in darkness and secrecy, theGhost-Soldiers of the Invisible Fist struck fear into the hearts of their enemies and wreakedhavoc on those who incurred their wrath. The principles of these occult methods have notchanged and apply even today.The principles and forms presented herein are intended for use by a lone individual.Some Ninjitsu
ryu
(schools) advocate the use of such equipment as shuriken, grapples, shaken,even poisons and firearms. These schools train to use or improvise any weapon that may further the objective of the mission. There is much to be said for this approach, even among the schoolsthat practice invisibility such as the Black Dragon Ryu, Therefore, sections explaining the clas-sical Ninja weapons are included.Yet, study of this Art does not require weapons of any sort.
Sensei
(teacher) once said,"A naked man, alone, in an empty room, can practice Ninjitsu." One cannot move quickly andsilently when encumbered by various tools. And, if captured, these devices would certainly beconfiscated. What is one to do then?Here then are the means to be invisible in the presence of the enemy, to penetrate unseenanywhere, and to pass without leaving a trace.This is the Silent Way of the Mystic-Knights, the Moonlit Path of the Shadow-Warrior,the Invisible Assassins of Feudal Japan, the
NINJA.
The beauty of these techniques is that they do not require a lifetime to master. Manywere developed by victims who were tired of being bullied but lacked the physical resources toovercome the forces opposing them. Few people have such resources or the time to acquirethem. But, there are bullies aplenty. The student need only learn one technique and have thecourage to carry it out to free himself of oppression. Making war is not hard, keeping the peaceis hard. That is why the Ninja, who value peace and harmony above all else, have gone to suchgreat lengths over many centuries to canonize and preserve these methods. And why, because itis so simple, the techniques have often been turned to revenge or used to raise and armyquickly. When there is no justice, the Ninja appear. They are not “called to action” by anyone.They are just ordinary people in extraordinary situations. They need not have a “clan” or “credentials” or even a great deal of training. They only need the Will.The Ninja do what must be done, then it is forgotten. Princes and kings may gain sometemporary advantage through Force. But, the only lasting accomplishments are achievedthrough Love.This is the true lesson of Ninjitsu
