Preface

Ninja were the Ultimate Warriors of feudal Japan. Cloaked in darkness and secrecy, the

Ghost-Soldiers of the Invisible Fist struck fear into the hearts of their enemies and wreaked

havoc on those who incurred their wrath. The principles of these occult methods have not

changed 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 schools

that 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 and

silently when encumbered by various tools. And, if captured, these devices would certainly be

confiscated. What is one to do then?

Here then are the means to be invisible in the presence of the enemy, to penetrate unseen

anywhere, 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. Many

were developed by victims who were tired of being bullied but lacked the physical resources to

overcome the forces opposing them. Few people have such resources or the time to acquire

them. But, there are bullies aplenty. The student need only learn one technique and have the

courage to carry it out to free himself of oppression. Making war is not hard, keeping the peace

is hard. That is why the Ninja, who value peace and harmony above all else, have gone to such

great lengths over many centuries to canonize and preserve these methods. And why, because it

is so simple, the techniques have often been turned to revenge or used to raise and army

quickly. When there is no justice, the Ninja appear. They are not Ðcalled to actionÑ by anyone.

They are just ordinary people in extraordinary situations. They need not have a ÐclanÑ or

ÐcredentialsÑ 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 some

temporary advantage through Force. But, the only lasting accomplishments are achieved

through Love.

This is the true lesson of Ninjitsu

Espionage as a Weapon

About five hundred years before the birth of Christ, a Chinese philosopher named Sun-

Tse stated in his "Rules for Political and Psychological Subversion" that, "there is no art higher

than that of destroying the enemy's resistance without a fight on the battlefield. According to

this sage,

"The direct tactic of war is necessary only on the battlefield, but only the indirect tactic

can lead to a real and lasting victory.

ÐSubvert anything of value in the enemy's country. Implicate the emissaries of the major

powers in criminal undertakings; undermine their position and destroy their reputations in other

ways as well; and expose them to the public ridicule of the their fellow citizens.

ÐDo not shun the aid of even the lowest and most despicable people. Disrupt the work of

their government with every means you can.

ÐSpread disunity and dispute among the citizens of the enemy's country. Turn the young

against the old. Use every means to destroy their arms, their supplies, and discipline of the en-

emy's forces."

"Debase old traditions and accepted gods. Be generous with promises and rewards to

purchase intelligence and accomplices. Send out your secret agents in all directions. Do not

skimp with money or with promises, for they yield a high return."

It is upon this passage from the Art of War that Japanese Ninjitsu is based.

Sun-Tse was quite correct. No more need be said concerning espionage as a weapon.

But, The Art of Invisibility is far older even than this. Nor was Sun-Tse the first to rec-

ognize this principle. And, much later, Macheivelli's The Prince expressed the same sentiment

with regard to conquering new lands. The great expense of war being his primary motivation in

counseling the medieval lords of his time.

Basic Ninjitsu

The origins of Ninjitsu are shrouded in the mists of time. It was greatly influenced by

Chinese spying techniques, many of which are found in Sun-Tse's classic, The Art of War. The

word Ninjitsu itself originated during a war between Prince Shotoku and Moriya over the land

of Omi in sixth century Japan. During this conflict, a warrior named Otomo-no-Saajin contrib-

uted to the victory of Prince Shotoku by secretly gathering valuable intelligence about the en-

emy forces. For this service, he was awarded the title of Shinobi , which means "stealer in."

From this ideogram, the character for the word Ninjitsu is derived.

Originally, the role of the Ninja was to gain information about the enemy and to sabo-

tage his operations. Agents were classified as: Indigenous, meaning local personnel who gath-

ered intelligence or worked for the Ninja on site; Sleeper, being one long in place, merely

awaiting instructions; Doubled or Turned, a former agent of the enemy who spied for both

sides; and Expendable agents who were used for only one mission and then left to fend for

themselves. Such agents include both men and women, the female Ninja were called Kunoichi

and carried out missions of assassination and sabotage, as well as espionage.

Ninjitsu is not a magical technique which will enable you to disassemble your body and

reassemble yourself somewhere else. It will not change the structure of your body, making it

transparent. This Art of Invisibility consists of the skills employed to make yourself unseeable;

in this context, the art becomes almost a philosophy.

The ancient masters have said, "A tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it, makes

no sound; but, it falls nonetheless." So it is with Ninjitsu. A Ninja attacking a blind man is in-

visible, but he is attacking nonetheless.
