Are you really learning Ninjutsu... or just a small part of it?

I get it... you may only want to learn Budo / Ninpo-Taijutsu, one aspect of Ninjutsu training (contrary to what most people think when they use the term "Ninjutsu"), but...
What most people call “Ninjutsu” today is often just a collection of flashy moves and choreographed techniques which belong to one part of the total art (with a dash of this and sprinkle of a
few other things or and there).
Real Ninjutsu isn’t about fighting harder — it’s about surviving "SMARTER."
It's about having a bunch of skills and techniques, but a robust group of skill "SETS" that can span across many different types of dangers, conflicts, and threats to our safety, security, and well-being.
The Ninja no Hachimon were the 8 core training areas that defined an authentic Ninjutsu
school in ancient Japan — and unless your training includes them… you may be missing critical skills for handling a future situation that may, sad to say that without them... not go so well in your favor.
That’s why I created the Ninja no Hachimon Cheat Sheet for my personal "Inner-Circle" students, my warrior-protectors who wanted more than fighting skills, but who wanted to learn this art the way I did way back before things changed into the mere shadow
(yes, pun intended) of what it used to be — to give them (and now you) the framework you need to know what authentic Ninjutsu really looks like.
In this simple cheat sheet tool, you’ll have a easy resource pointing you to:
✅ Why true Ninjutsu training has always been about principles and concepts for strategy, deception, and adaptability — NOT just physical techniques. ✅ The skill areas that allowed Ninja to survive — even against stronger, better-armed opponents... and in non-combative situations as
well! ✅ How these ancient skills translate into modern-day training areas for helping you with conflict, stress management, and even personal success, without violating the principles that created the original skills, risking dropping things that "don't make sense," or making up something completely different!
