===Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō===
''Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō'' ("The Jeweled Heart School") is taught by the Bujinkan martial arts organization. According to the Bujinkan, Gyokushin Ryu has [[sutemi waza]] techniques and is focused more on the art and techniques of [[espionage]] than on fighting. Its most prominent weapon is the lasso (''nagenawa'').<ref name=autogenerated1 /> The ''Bugei Ryuha Daijiten'' states that Takamatsu Toshitsugu transferred the Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō to Hatsumi in the middle of the 20th century, making Hatsumi its lineage holder. Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō is taught today in the Bujinkan organization.<ref>Tetsuzan: Chapter1 p18; {{ISBN|4-901619-06-3}}</ref><ref>Alex Esteve: Exploring the essence of the Martial Arts, {{ISBN|978-84-85278-30-5}}</ref><ref>Ninjustsu, History and Tradition; {{ISBN|0-86568-027-2}}:primary source – written by Alex Esteve, Bujinkan instructor</ref><ref>[http://bujinkan.graycastle.com/soke/footprints.htm Footprints of the Bujinkan dojo soke]; primary source, Bujinkan organization</ref><ref>[http://blog.bushinbooks.com/2006/07/05/authenticity-and-the-bujinkan/print/ bushinblog » Print » Authenticity and the Bujinkan<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080225161222/http://blog.bushinbooks.com/2006/07/05/authenticity-and-the-bujinkan/print/ |date=February 25, 2008 }}; primary source – written by Ben Cole, Bujinkan instructor</ref> According to the Bujinkan martial arts organization, Gyokushin-ryū was founded in the mid-16th century by Sasaki Goeman Teruyoshi, who was also ''[[sōke]]'' of Gyokko-ryū, which explains the similarities between the two styles. Gyokushin-ryū is considered a style of ''koshi jutsu''. Hatsumi is the 21st ''sōke''.<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.budotaijutsu.co.uk/budo_taijutsu/gyokushin_ryu_ninpo.html Budotaijutsu] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003091532/http://www.budotaijutsu.co.uk/budo_taijutsu/gyokushin_ryu_ninpo.html |date=October 3, 2011 }}; primary source – Bujinkan organization</ref>

===Togakure-ryū===
{{main|Togakure-ryū}}

According to Bujinkan members, ''Ninja Jūhakkei'' (the eighteen disciplines) were first identified in the scrolls of {{nihongo|''Togakure-ryū''|戸隠流}}, or "School of the Hidden Door", founded during the [[Oho period]] {{nowrap|(1161–62)}} by one Daisuke Nishina (Togakure), who learned a life view and techniques (''ninjutsu'') from Kagakure Doshi.<ref name=wma>[https://books.google.com/books?id=1Ze0-x2ROuQC&q=Togakure&pg=PT33 Ninjitsu], World of Martial Arts, by Robert Hill. Primary source: Hatsumi, Massaki. (1988). Essence of Ninjutsu. McGraw-Hill. pg. 173</ref> ''Togakure ryu Ninjutsu Hidensho'' is a manuscript in Hatsumi's possession that is said to document ''Togakure-ryū''. It is the purported origin of the "18 skills of Ninjutsu."

''Ninja jūhakkei'' was often studied along with ''[[Bugei jūhappan]]'' (the 18 samurai fighting art skills). Though some techniques were used in the same way by both samurai and ninja, others were used differently by the two groups. The 18 disciplines are:<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1Ze0-x2ROuQC&q=Bujinkan&pg=PT62|title=World of Martial Arts !|isbn=9780557016631|date=2010-09-08|publisher=Lulu.com }}</ref>

The name of the discipline of {{Nihongo|''taijutsu''|体術}}, literally means "body skill". Historically in Japan, the word is often used interchangeably with [[jujutsu]] and many others to refer to a range of [[grappling]] skills. It is also used in the martial art of [[aikido]] to distinguish unarmed fighting techniques from others, such as those of stick fighting. In ''ninjutsu'', especially since the emergence of [[Ninja in popular culture|the Ninja movie genre]], it was used to avoid referring explicitly to "[[ninja]]" combat techniques.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}}
