Ninjatsu
(Ninja) devolved and developed as a way of life for the survival of a
Japanese people culturally opposed to the ruling Samurai class of the day.
With a traceable history of 1000 years the Ninja were most notable for
their skills and activity during the Japanese Civil War periods of the
l3th-l6th Centuries. All martial arts were stripped of warrior
significance when peace
came to Japan in 1868 (Meiji Restoration) but the teachings of Ninjutsu
went underground and was brought to modern times by the 33rd Grandmaster,
Toshitsugu Takamatsu. As the lore of the Ninja were passed down to the
34th Grandmaster, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi (Dr. Hatsumi is classed as a living
treasure in Japan), Ninjatsu was made available to the Pakistan for the
first time in the 1970's.
