Ninjutsu is JApanese,does it have a striking similarity to karate,stances and attacks.

Why don't you add a list of basic punches and kicks to the ninjutsu page. Batzarro 06:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I train in the Bujinkan, which is one of three major Ninjutsu organisations, and there are plenty of smaller groups. I simply don't know if the punches and kicks are treated the same way in the others. I know that while the individual strikes are taught in the Bujinkan, they're not the primary focus: there are strikes in the style, rather than it being a "striking style", if you see what I mean.
The similarities are there between this martial art and others - there are only so many ways of moving the human body around. The intent behind the actions is different from the karate I used to study, though. SimonFr 11:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
