Ninjutsu – Ninja art of Hatsumi Masaaki – Fighting sports to Martial Arts
The mists of Japan’s tumultuous history cloak the creation of a way of life, an ancient fight waged against ruthless feudal lords who governed the island country with steel swords and a code of death before dishonor.
The peasants of what is now Iga prefecture wanted to live in peace, but their masters had other plans—so the villagers trained self-defense martial arts and used their limited agricultural implements as weapons against their oppressors’ samurai blades.
Nine ninja arts traditions arose from this apparently continuous war, and stories were told of the ninja fighters’ superhuman skills.
The ninja never achieved the type of power that overthrows rulers, but they did establish a reputation that made tyrants wary.
And they obtained the type of power that allows the soul to persevere and the intellect to control its destiny.
Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the sole living grandmaster of the ancient art of ninjutsu, tells stories of prior grandmasters and methods in dojo lectures, accompanied by pictures, sketches, and paintings. Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi is a bone doctor, artist, and writer, as well as the 34th grandmaster of Japan’s nine ninja schools.
In recent years, he has traveled the United States to assist Americans better understand the ninja and their way of life.
All of the major martial arts journals have published his pieces.
