What is Ninjutsu?

Ninjutsu is the traditional survival art once used by shinobi—specialists in intelligence gathering and combat in old Japan.

Many people only associate Ninjutsu with flashy fighting techniques because of anime and pop culture. In reality, it is a wide-ranging set of knowledge and skills focused on wartime survival, not just combat.
