First and foremost, Force Necessary Tactical Ninjutsu is a comprehensive and practical self-defense system meant for today’s modern world. It is not a “new martial art” or “style.” Essentially, it is a hybrid system that incorporates Southeast Asian and Pacific Archipelago Island arts (Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, Silat, Arnis, Kali, Escrima) along with Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. But ultimately, Tactical Ninjutsu is just a more modern way of efficiently teaching a comprehensive array of age-old proven self-defense concepts. It is the science and physics behind the arts. Traditionally, these concepts have generally taken significant time to learn due to the way they have been taught. However, backed by modern science and experience, we have developed an effective way to teach them in a fraction of the time, and without being limited by any specific style or set range of techniques. Our methods emphasize effectiveness over style, practical mechanics, adaptation, and economy of movement. They are easy to retain and recall, even under stress, and, in most cases, do not require the student to press beyond their current physical capabilities.

We are not claiming to teach “Koryu”, or authentic, historical Ninjutsu just as it may have been taught to the actual Ninja in ancient Japan, and we are not trying to “preserve” or hold true to the tradition of such arts. You won’t find any “mystical secrets”, we don’t run around in Ninja costumes, and we DO HAVE “all out”, full contact training. Although the concepts, strategies, and techniques of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu are a major influence to many of the concepts of this system, it is the underlying meaning of Ninjutsu and Ninpo, more than anything else, as to why we chose the name. The idea and philosophy that is “Ninjutsu, or Ninpo” embody the spirit of self-preservation. Simply put, the word “Ninjutsu” in itself relates to perseverance and self-protection.

What You Will Learn

You won’t just learn a bunch of techniques that you have to memorize. We teach you the mechanics, science, and principles behind the techniques so that you understand them and retain them. Then, we put your understanding of those mechanics and your skills to the test under real-time stress and attack scenarios so that you know what you learn will work if you need them to. You will train in all areas of hand-to-hand combat:

      Ranges of Combat

• Standing Long Range (Kicking)
• Standing Mid Range (Punching/striking)
• Standing Close Range (Clinch, trapping, short range striking such as elbows)
• Ground

You will find unique, effective moves, techniques, and strategies that you don’t typically find in many other systems.

          Skill Sets

• Improved awareness of the world around you
• How to recognize a threat before an attack occurs
• How to be a “hard target”
• Situation management (de-escalation strategies)
• How to not only function, but thrive in high-stress situations (Stress inoculation)
• Training in real-world, “full contact” scenarios
• Superior footwork, body mechanics, leverage, and positioning
• Grappling, throws, and takedowns
• Quick, explosive, striking, kicking, and punching
• How to keep your assailant off balance with footwork, body movement, and deceptive attacks
• Combat effective joint locks and restraint/compliance techniques
• Counters and reversals
• Ground fighting / escaping
• Vital striking points
• Defense against multiple assailants and surprise attacks
• Break-falls, rolling/tumbling and escaping
• Improved self-confidence
• Improved flexibility, coordination, strength, and balance
• Self-defense related laws
• First aid / survival
• Modern weapons (offense, defense, unarmed defense, retention)
• Improvised weapons

All training, at every rank level, includes:

• Phase 1 – Learning the basic mechanics of a particular skill
• Phase 2 – Free-flow development and understanding of those mechanics
• Phase 3 – Using the mechanics full speed against resisting opponents in real-world scenario training

(NOTE: Our Tactical Ninjutsu Combat is a true Reality Based Martial Art / Street Self Defense System. There are no forms or “katas.” It has not been modified for sport or competition. You will immediately begin learning techniques that are effective and that you could put to use with the first few days of your training.

Our weapons training correlates to weapons found in modern day tactics such as guns, knives, and sticks of various lengths but also utilizes improvised weapons of opportunity such as bottles, rope, cables, flashlights, chairs, and just about anything else that might be lying around during a fight.)

Practical, Modern Self-Defense

Tactical Ninjutsu is meant specifically for our modern world.

Most traditional martial arts were created for the threats of their time period and the way wars were fought then. In most cases, this meant fighting against armored warriors, possibly even being armored themselves. It might have meant fighting against swords, using shields, or even warriors on horseback. This is the essence of self-protection; to protect yourself against the threats that are realistic according to your frame of reference, your time period, and your reality. Had these ancient grandmasters lived through to modern day times, they would have no doubt adapted their methods of self-protection to meet the relevant threats as they changed over time. However, they were obviously not immortal and long periods of peace prospered throughout the Far East followed by the invention and implementation of gunpowder. These ancient, and now historical, arts were now frozen in time exactly as they were.

Unfortunately, many traditional martial arts instructors portray these historical arts as viable solutions for modern day self-protection. Now, don’t get me wrong. Preserving these historical systems in their original form, as an art, is a great service to their culture, and many of the techniques taught in traditional martial arts can be useful in limited modern self-protection applications (if the appropriate context presents itself). However, in order to realize these applications, students must sift through the historical techniques and decipher convoluted teaching methods.

Tactical Ninjutsu trains specifically for “street” application, not sport or competition.

Many historical martial arts have been modified for use as a competitive sport. Originally, this was done as a way for warriors to practice their battle skills in a full contact setting, while minimizing the potential for serious injury. Obviously, many of the lethal and more damaging techniques were removed when training this way. However, those aspects were still trained in a more controlled setting so that the skills were not lost.

Most modern day variations, on the other hand, have completely removed those aspects altogether. While this is completely appropriate for modern sport application alone, it can be dangerous and misleading when these sport variations are portrayed as a viable application for modern self-protection. For example, most of the techniques that are banned from competitive sports such as eye gouging, groin strikes, or use of weapons can be some of the most effective techniques when it comes to self-protection. Completely eliminating these aspects from your training is equivalent to training your natural instincts to avoid them in the event of a real-life attack. If you’re not using these skills in training, they won’t just suddenly show up like magic if really needed in a real-life, high stress attack situation.

Now, we are not knocking other arts. Styles like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, and many others are mechanically sound and can be very practical. Anyone studying other arts like these will only improve themselves and anyone with significant experience in these styles can certainly handle themselves. We are just saying, as the old saying goes, “You will fight like you train, so train like you fight.” If that could mean unfair fights and weapons, put weapons and unfair fights in your training.

I’ve had people tell me, “If someone pulled a knife on me I wouIdn’t fight, I would bug out!” or “I would find something to use as a weapon.” or my personal favorite, “I have a CHL (Concealed Handgun License). I will just shoot them.” Well, perfect. I’m glad they are thinking! And, we certainly do include all of those as viable solutions in our training. However, what if you can’t run or escape? What if there is nothing around that would make a viable weapon? What if you don’t have your gun with you or can’t get to it fast enough? Of course, there are also those that would rebuttal by saying, “Oh come on, that’s a lot of what if’s.” It is important to remember that a premeditating bad guy will look for as many of those “what if’s” as possible in order to sway the odds in his favor. Therefore, comprehensive, all inclusive training is important.

What Makes Tactical Ninjutsu Different?

Tactical Ninjutsu’s curriculum is an extension of Hock Hochheim’s Pacific Archipelago Combat (PAC) program, combined with many of the concepts, strategies, and teachings used in Ninjutsu. The foundation of this curriculum can be broken down into 5 core concepts, which are truly what makes Tactical Ninjutsu what it is and how it is distinguished from most other systems. These concepts, delivered through a logically organized and easy to understand teaching format, give the student skills they can use effectively sooner rather than later, and then refine them over time, should they choose. The student is able to flow naturally and instinctively, without wasting movement by attempting to setup a specific technique, as the lines that have historically separated “art” and “style” disappear.

Tactical Ninjutsu’s Core Concepts

1. The “Master Keys”: The base physics/mechanics and concepts that are common to all martial arts and fighting systems – Almost all martial arts and fighting systems are defined and judged by their techniques. As such, those students are taught these arts by their techniques, from a technique-by-technique perspective. Meaning, they have a specific technique to deal with a specific type of attack and the brain must recall a technique that matches the attack presented. The students eventually gain a greater understanding of the art and its movements once they have learned the techniques and their associated variations. However, teaching a technique based system could have the following possible drawbacks:

   • Memorizing techniques usually take many repetitions and considerable time to become effective.
   • It is difficult to recall memorized techniques in the high stress environment of a fight without significant training.
   • As we have mentioned earlier, some arts teach techniques from the context of another time period and may not be appropriate for a modern threat.
   • If the enemy attacks in such a way that the student hasn’t trained against, the chances of success are much lower than they would be against a threat coming from a context the student has trained for.
   • Crucial time and energy can be wasted while maneuvering into the correct position to execute a specific technique.

   For any given martial art style, there can be literally hundreds, sometimes thousands, of techniques to learn. However, all techniques from every martial art throughout history use the same physics (physiological mechanics) and concepts to produce their technique, which can be broken down into a few groups we call “The Master Keys.” Techniques are literally just the result of using and applying these Master Keys. Tactical Ninjutsu focuses on teaching these Master Keys first; because when students understand these base principles, they are able to execute any technique regardless of whether they have formally trained it or not.

   Techniques are no longer independent skills to memorize and recall. The student can flow seamlessly, creating their own “technique” naturally, as the context and circumstance changes by the second, which it inevitably does over the course of a fight. At this point, they begin to realize that even style is circumstantial. Each martial art created techniques that were relevant to their reality due to their particular needs and culture. In essence, through their understanding of the Master Keys, a student can utilize techniques from any style for refining their own technique if it suits their needs, circumstance, and physical abilities. This is, ultimately, why we believe all arts and styles have value. All techniques will work as long as they use proper mechanics and principles, fit within proper context, and are within the physical capabilities of the practitioner.
