Ninja Jhakkei The 18 Skills of the Ninja ()

There are several different lists. I have combined them to get a better picture of the different types of arts that a ninja learned during his life time. There are a lot more arts not listed. According to Tanemura-sensei the list is endless. The ninja not only had to know the ninja jhakkei (18 skills of the ninja), but also the bugei jhappan (18 martial arts) of the Japanese warriors.
