I don't study Ninjitsu, but I pay attention to it, a little.
I have heard talk of "indies" and (of course) Bujinkan. Now, I know that Bujinkan is run by Hatsumi, and can trace it's lineage to its clan something like 38 generations. This sounds pretty legit to me.
But what of the legitimacy of the "indies"? I know that we are looking at a broad group of independents, but what do these different groups claim? Are they claiming to be an offshoot of Bujinkan, our do they claim their own lineage? How do we know which ones are legit, and which are not?
Thanks in advance!
