In watching different martial arts styles, I've noticed that students of ninjitsu seem to have a superior sense of balance & poise. From that I could infer that they probably spend a great deal of their training in methods which probably don't have an obvious 'fighting' application. They also seem to have a really superb sense of pressure points and ways of getting at them.

I have also heard it said by a student of ninjitsu, that the best modern embodiment of the true spirit of a 'ninja' is probably a highly skilled sniper. Ninjas have always used stealth, and the most advanced technology available to them. And their 'function' was always as an assassin. This student said that "traditional ninjitsu" is conceptually at odds with it's own original underlying purpose. Sort of like collecting antique muskets. A person could do this out of a sense of history or tradition, but this interest is somewhat of an abandonment of the original purpose of the muskets. Also, that modern ninjitsu has become more of a 'martial arts style', where people compete fairly and amicably. Where in martial arts competition, everything is above-board, point based, no 'dirty' tricks... whereas a traditional ninja would throw sand in their opponent's eyes, or try to kill him silently before he even realized he was in a fight.
