Most people I've talked to don't really the physical martial art "Ninjutsu". What is taught now in the traditional school is Taejutsu, which is the hand to hand chunk of what was Ninjutsu. It is taught through an organization called Bujinkan, and (iirc) their system is Budo Taejutsu.

If you choose to join this school, you should know that Taejutsu is NOT Ninjutsu. You won't learn how to be an assassin nor how to scale a fifty-foot wall with Ninja Tools. You WILL learn a lot of combative techniques that are harshly effective and amazingly devious. Some of the schools (here meaning "chunk of techniques") do teach techniques that stem from methods for assassination... but mostly so that you can learn how to defend against them.

If you're really interested, do a google search for Bujinkan Budo Taejutsu and do some reading.
