The art of Ninjutsu is based on defense of self and others, and prizes restraint, and evasion of conflict more highly than engagement in actual confrontation.  It also trains people in the sense of survival. Consequently, Ninjutsu prepares you for real-world confrontations and the possibility of combat with skills designed to protect when facing inevitable harm.
