Ninjutsu- Physical, mental, spiritual

[Senin]

I have noticed in much of ninjutsu writings (especially Mr Hayes'; ie, Ninja and their secret fighting art) there is an emphasis on the 3 levels of ninjutsu-- physical (fighting aspect), mental (attitude, perceptions, health, psychology) and the spiritual. However, after examing various schools I have noticed a heavy emphasis on the fighting aspects and very little (if any) on the mental and spiritual aspects.

Is this really true, or just a false preception on my part. Thanks.

It's all built-in and taught together as one.
Same as with other aspects, like stealth.
It's all in the taijutsu - the physicality is the vehicle that carries everything else with it.
Still there are times when things like tactics and strategy, warrior philosophy, sensitivity, etc. will get their own time and be focused on outside the taijutsu.
