If you are interested in the idea of ninjas and their way, then this is the article for you. Japanese history describes ninjas as the best combatants of all, who were perfectly trained in martial arts and stealth. Their art had a few unusual techniques, but they were highly effective in their way, and this stealthiness often played to their advantage. While their origin is not clear, they are said to be the opposing force to the Japanese Samurai. The main difference between the two was in the codes that they followed. The ninjas followed the code of Ninjitsu, which suggested the completion of a mission should not be based upon honour (as was the case with the Samurai’s Bushido code) but rather by using any means necessary to be successful in battle.
Without a doubt, it can be argued that ninjas were the first assassins, and their use of intelligent ‘guerrilla’ or stealth warfare has made them famous in a range of modern contexts, with ninjas appearing in movies, in games, in books and on posters. Children have even been known to dress as ninjas for Halloween!
