"The ninja arts are the perfection of all martial arts..." does Hatsumi Sensei really say this?

Try not to take this at face value. Remember, this is a translation, most likely of the word "budo", in which case he could've easily meant the specific skillsets within the 9 schools, Ninjutsu being the culmination of all of them in perfection.

I really don't think he means to put down other arts with this statement.

Just my take,
YMMV
