Why Ninjutsu?
Ninjutsu, by design, is to give the underdog a fighting chance. Created by an ancient people to oppose the ruling Samurai, a seemingly unstoppable force. Ninjutsu has no rules, Ninjutsu has no sporting concept and most of all, as a survival martial art, Ninjutsu will teach you that the size of a persons muscles will count for very little in a system that is tailored to turn strength into weakness.
In a laid back and friendly atmosphere you will be taught how to defend yourself against armed and unarmed assailants, how to use your body's size and shape to its fullest potential and how to take control. Whether that be control of a situation or control of your own natural impulses.
If nothing else, within Ninjutsu you will find approachable, like minded individuals who are looking for something that they maybe didn't find in other martial arts.
Ninjutsu has been a quiet constant within the Martial Arts community in Cardiff for the past 25 years, continually growing, evolving and moving forward. Find out more about Ninjutsu as a Martial Art in Cardiff.
