Online Ninja: ALL This Knowledge & NO SKILLS | Historical Ninjutsu Martial Arts Training Techniques
In this video, I express my concern with this growing “Online Ninja Community” that has all of this knowledge but no skills. This is a very dangerous direction for the ninjutsu community because “the way” is in training. The purpose of training is to be able to defend yourself, the ones you love and the ones that cannot fight for themselves. Any REAL practitioner of ninjutsu would tell you, we find our balance through the study and practice of ancient warfare. There needs to be a balance with study and practice… mind and body…
.
In the modern era, we live in a time where if you do not have the answer readily available either online or otherwise, it is fake or not true. This in itself is a very dangerous way of thinking because these arts were written a certain way, for only a select few to be able to have the knowledge – as long as they were willing to train to obtain the warrior skills needed to be able to use the knowledge.
This lesson is directly for the practitioners of the ancient Japanese koryu martial arts of the ninja and samurai, such as ninjutsu (ninpo) and bujutsu (budo).

Capturing True Budo

Without knowledge, a high level of warrior skill will never be focused.
Without high level of skill, one may never attain a high level of true strength.
Without true strength, knowledge may not be applied.
Without applied knowledge, one will never find wisdom.
Without wisdom, one will never find the enlightenment of which they seek.
This is a insight towards training that I came up with this morning, not for sure if it makes sense to any of you, but it makes sense to me, I hope that it helps all of you with your training.
Thank you all for your support!

“YONIN”
There is yojutsu and injutsu in ninjutsu.
YONIN (yojutsu / yoninjutsu) is infiltration when in plain view of the people, so you are dressed like them and moving in and out of the crowd. This is where the Shinobi Nanabake (ninja disguise) was used. Many say that Yonin is only done during the day and that is wrong. You can use this tactics day or night. Yoninjutsu; is for the very highly skilled ninja.
INNIN (Injutsu / Inninjutsu) is infiltration when you are not in plain view, you are staying in the shadows, not in the area of people at all, climbing on roof tops, staying in the shadows, staying in the rafters of the house to gather information, in this situation, your goal is to stay out of complete site of everyone, stay in the shadows and carry out the mission, this infiltration tactic is called Innin. Inninjutsu; is primarily used for the lower ranking ninja.
Yojutsu — could be any kind of infiltration in plain view of the enemy, so the use of disguise to move through the crowd is a essential (i.e., shinobi nanabake, yamabushi, komuso, performers, fortune tellers, etc).
Injutsu — is when the infiltration and information gathering is done completely unnoticed and in the shadows. So the classical black outfit, would be of use in this situation. For example, entering the enemy territory at night and hiding in the bushes during the day while observing the enemy’s movements.
If you look at the 2nd row from the right you will see:
YO (陽) NIN (忍) JO (上)
YO (陽) Means; Positive or Light. Hence the training of Yo-jutsu being done in plain view —
NIN (忍) In this case means Shinobi, or in modern term “Stealing in” —
JO (上) Means; Top, Above, Upper. So this where the idea of this type of training being done by upper level shinobi comes from. —
If you look at the 5th row from the right, a little over half way down you see:
Shinobi (忍) Iri (入)
This (忍入) is giving detail to the entering methods of the Shinobi, in many schools called “Shinobi-iri”
*******************************************
The lesson today comes from my own personal collection and study of these documents. All students know that one of the major documents that we use here at the school in reference to ninjutsu is the Bansenshukai. I hope that this helps with all of your training! Take Care, Be Safe and Good luck in your Journey of Budo!
