| The Bujinkan consists of 9 Ryu-Ha ("schools"), of which 4 are Samurai styles, 2 are chinese fighting-forms & 3 are Ninjutsu Ryu-Ha. Therefore some people tend to call it Nin-Jutsu (though i personally disagree on that). According to the sources i've come across (I.E. conversations with members of the BBT), i've come to the conclusion that only 13 / 15% of what they teach can possibly be Nin-Jutsu (since they only teach Nin-Jutsu from one of the Ryu-Ha (Togakure Ryu), and that's not even certain since Masaaki Hatsumi has been quoted for saying that he hasn't taught Nin-Jutsu since around (before?) '80).
Since the Genbukan & Jinenkan are offshots from the Bujinkan, i'd expect them to be very much alike on this point (but could be mistaken).

The beginning of wisdom, is to acknowledge you own ignorance. When you realize your own ignorance, you will admit to your own insignificance, and that will free your spirit for growth without limitations.
