The skill of the ninja is the art of winning
Toshitsugu Takamatsu
These skills were originally listed in the scrolls of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu and have become definitive for all Ninjutsu Schools. Often studied along side the Bugei Juhappan (Samurai Fighting Disciplines) the Juhakkei represent a complex traditional system of study. Some disciplines in the Ninja Juhakkei and Bugei Juhappen are the same however they traditionally would have been studied or interpreted differently between Shinobi and Bushi.
