If you want something widely available you choose something widely available. The best things take effort if you do not like commercial schools. You just want your cake and eat it too. Real life rarely works that way.
Nick is so wrong it’s painful. Karate did not make it to mainland Japan until last 100 years. It was an exclusive Okinawan art before that. Judo was created in the same period from jujutsu. If a ninjutsu looks like karate and judo fusion, it's because it was probably recently created with those two arts combined.
If anything ninjutsu should be closer to jujutsu and aikijutsu, but I really don’t think you can recreate ninjutsu’s taijutsu that easily. But then again I’m a historical person that thinks ninjas didn’t really exist or if they did, they were a very small group.
The ninja developed their hand-to-hand combat based on the principles of Judo, and Karate, often by descretely observing samurai drills. So honestly, I would blend these two since you do not want to learn ninjutsu, but seem to want to replicate it.
the only thing close to ninjutsu is ninjutsu,
ninjutsu consists of 18 discipline most of which can only be found in ninjutsu.
I'd go jui jitsu,judo,karate. Short of ninjajustu. I would do like camouflage really ninjustu has nothing going for it besides sleath and situation awareness/problem solving and knowone teaches that stuff these days.
Try ninjutsu
Jeet Kune Do, and thai chi
Tae Kwon Fu.
I want to do something as close to ninja as possible, and it needs to be something as close to ninjutsu as possible. It has to be widely available, and no Karate/ Tae Kwon Do.
I will give 5 stars to the best answer.
