==Training==
Ninja training consists of 18 disciplines called "ninja juhachi kei" (忍身十八形).
===Seishinteki kyōyō (精神的教養)===
Spiritual refinement.
===Taijutsu (体術)===
Unarmed combat, ninja hand-to-hand combat.
===Kenjutsu (剣術)===
Sword techniques, swordsmanship.
All ninja must be able to fight with a sword. The training is tiring and difficult, but ninja have to learn to persevere. To be a skilled swordsman, training is essential. The katana is not an easy weapon to master. The katana is a popular ninja weapon, especially in the training arena (tameshigiri). It requires excellent balancing and fine motor skills. For those who know the true value of it, they use it for fine slicing and dicing. The simple blade is sharp and reliable. While it won't win any beauty contests, it cuts clean and gets the job done.
*En-yo: The en-yo move is more about timing and precision than power. Sounds and vibrations identify the attack, and instead of hacking through the limb, the first strike imparts an injury (slash to arm) just a few inches below the elbow. The sword’s razor sharp blade easily slices through the soft tissue of the attacker’s arm. This opens up his defense, and provides the ninja a clean opportunity to deliver the kill stroke, a powerful shot to the top of his head (fatal blow to the skull, velocity of katana = 55 mph) The ninja senses the enemy from behind.
===Bōjutsu (棒術)===
Stick and staff fighting techniques.
The martial art of using a staff weapon involves slashing, swinging, and stabbing with the staff. Simple but effective, this basic ninja weapon is useful in one-on-one combat. The large wooden pole is a powerful defensive weapon, especially in the hands of a skilled fighter. This fighting staff can be used for blocks, strikes, and sweeps at an enemy.
===Sōjutsu (槍術)===
Spear fighting techniques.
In the hands of a trained ninja, the spear is a lethal weapon of deadly accuracy. A fast and accurate weapon in the hands of a ninja. This weapon can be thrown at enemies. Long and very heavy, these spears can only be wielded by the strongest ninja.
