Ninjitsu

Nin jitsu (or nin jutsu), began more than 800 years ago among the ninja people living in Japan. The warrior class which ruled Japan at the time were called the Samurai and they controlled the land and its people.

The ninja would not serve the Samurai, and fled to the barren, cold, mountainous regions of Iga and Koga. There they trained in the arts of war.

When Japan emerged into the modern era, and feudalism collapsed, the ninja were absorbed into Japan's secret service and special services groups. The martial arts boom of the 1970s saw two men searching for something different. Doron Navon and Stephen Hayes found a nin jitsu headmaster living in Japan who came from an unbroken line of ninja instructors dating back almost 800 years. The art was then brought to the western world.

To teach at a PCYC in NSW nin jitsu instructors must have as a minimum level of qualifications a current National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) Level 1 Martial Arts. The NCAS is administered by the Australian Sports Commission, and the Level 1 Martial Arts course is delivered in NSW by the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA).
