What Martial Art Is Closest To Ninjitsu?

Seeing that I live in the United States there aren't very many Ninjitsu schools. I would LOVE to take Ninjitsu classes but there's only a few schools that teach it in my state and they're all to far away. What other martial arts are like Ninjutsu?

    Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is ninjutsu also. there's a few others too. aside from that Karate with Kobudo in the Dojo is pretty close, and extremely common.

    No no longer Bushido, Bushido is the code of the Samurai and the Samurai seen the Ninja to be vermin and scum. Ninpo is the nearest to the scuffling with approach of Ninjutsu, yet do no longer ignore that Ninjutsu additionally includes: making poisons, explosives, techniques of torture, assassination techniques, breaking & get right of entry to techniques, forgery, stealing, and different acts of mayhem and villainy. yet another type on the brink of Ninjutsu strengthen into Aikijitsu. however the Ninjas had to cheat to overcome a especially knowledgeable Samurai warrior, and diverse situations the Ninja lost.

    To-shin do is the closest you will get considering it's a modern day adaptation of ninjutsu. Created by Stephen K. Hayes (first American student of Soke Masaaki Hatsumi).

    ninjitsu isn't an incredibly efficient martial art, nor is it disciplined. so unless there is some outstanding reason why you want to take ninjitsu (other than the fad of ninja stuff that seems to be taking place) i would recommend jiu jitsu or more practical art.
