With my limited book study of Ninjutsu so far I have found a very unique attack called a 'Whip Hand.' Basically it seems to be a combination of a knife hand and a backfist (Incidentally both of those moves are identical in Tae Kwon Do and Ninjutsu.) Then again I am only up to the chapter covering the 'Shiroto' rank. The first chapter, 'Hinin', was mostly about exercises and basic physical conditioning.

some good basic skills to start off with is stretching, stretching, stretching.
performing sets of hand bridges.
then u go into Ukemi Gata Taihenjutsu, which is rolls an breakfalls.
this is very similar to the begginner drills done in BJJ, JJ, an Judo.
cartwheels, forward and backward rolls. breakfalls, side roll.
uhh....hand stands and leaps.
this is the element of water. flexibility and fluidity.
if u can. a good thing to do also is get a long 2 X 4 piece of wood. i used some wood i found that was about 12 feet long. bout 2 of them. i dunno if im explainin this right cause its harder to type than talk sometimes lol
its like building one of those balancing beams u see gymnasts use.
when u get the "beam" u can use a sturdy block or something to suspend it a couple feet high. then use this to develop your center of gravity an balance by walking across the beam, forwards, backwards
sideways, even to the point where u can do the moonwalk on the beam. this is your earth element.
thats how i was started off in the basics. when u get on to the other techniques of the curriculum youll see how it fits in.

Still reading it. I want to absorb each move before moving onto the next. That way in a few years I can claim to know Ninjutsu and be able to back up the claim with skill, yet no actual rank.
The book is called: Konigun Ninjutsu Volume 1 & 2 by Dr. Bryce Dallas. ISBN: 0970791739. To the best of my knowledge there is legal action against the creators of this system right now, but the contents of the book seem pretty legit. The back cover alleges that these are the 1st 2 volumes of 13 total, but I have yet to find any other volumes. To quote the back cover:
"It has a total of 764 pages covering Hinin (White) to Taibushi (4th level Black Sash) detailing for the first time the complete rank structure of a Ninjutsu Style... Everything from the basics in stances, strikes, grappling, sweeps, bone breaking, and Japanese are included in this book, as well as, the mathematics of fighting, woodland shelters, navigation,training ground construction, and animal traps, rounding out your training to the fullest extent assuring your best chance of survival."

ohh. i remember those guys. they kinda remind me of Shorinjin-ryu ninjitsu. how are you liking the book so far? and how does the techniques flow into your other styles if youve gotten to that point yet?

likes to step on peoples feet when he's close to them. It makes an opponents defense a little more than awkward. But pretty much it seems that most of the strikes are the same. I think Ninjutsu differs in application. What do you do when you are being choked standing up, choked on the ground, someone grabs your wrists and pulls them apart, pulls them together, tries to tackle you...the list goes on and on. So far everything I've learned has been very situational. You read the attack then you respond accordingly, seems straightforward enough to me.

Even the best of men are capable of the most disgusting evil. Just as the most evil man is capable of showing kindness.
Do not be fooled into thinking your enemy's sin is worse than yours, or that your's is better than his.
If things start to seem situation it is time to look at what makes that individual situation work. Once you determine that you training becomes much less situational (or maybe it just applies to more situations).
For example, you learn how to break away if someone uses your right hand to grab your left hand, by learning to use circular motion towards their thumb and index finger as it is the weak side of their grab. This seems situational as it is limited in application to someone using their right hand to grab your left hand, however once you understand the mechanics of it (circular motion + weak side of grab) then it can be applied to any wrist grab.
Our situational, limited technique was actually a way to practice a few basic concepts that can be applied in a greater variety of ways.
Techniques Chapel, they're called techniques!!! lol
Ninjitsu derives its hand-to-hand form from taijitsu which is a form of Jujitsu. So it's basically the same thing, some concepts differ such as using the fingers to "brush" the eyes and cause a distraction.
