Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu is an ancient martial art developed by the shinobi (ninja) of feudal Japan, designed for survival, espionage, and combat. It encompasses a wide range of skills aimed at both self-preservation and intelligence gathering. In modern practice, Ninjutsu teaches methods of self-defense, stealth, and strategy against multiple adversaries in a variety of environments.

Ninjutsu's techniques include strikes, joint locks, and throws, along with specialized movements for evasion, stealth, and escape. In addition to unarmed techniques, practitioners train with traditional weapons like swords, shuriken (throwing stars), staffs, and knives. Weapon disarming and controlling an opponent are critical skills developed in training.

The philosophy of Ninjutsu emphasizes adaptability, awareness of surroundings, and understanding the principles of nature to outmaneuver opponents. Mental focus, quick decision-making, and the ability to anticipate an attacker's moves are central to mastering this art.

Through Ninjutsu, students learn the balance between combat efficiency and mental discipline, honing skills that allow them to move undetected, avoid unnecessary conflict, and overcome both physical and psychological challenges.

Classes are taught on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm.
