Ninjutsu  (nin means endurance and jutsu means art) is a manifested martial art from various religions. It comes from Japanese / Zen Buddhism (e.g. Samuraijutsu) from Shintoism (e.g. Sumo) from Taoism (eg. Tai Chi Chuan) from Chinese Buddhism (e.g. Shaolin & Wing Chun Kung Fu) from Buddhism (e.g. Muay Boran and Bokator) from Sanātana Dharma (e.g. Kalaripayattu). It is old (around 900 years) but not so old, but based on ancient knowledge of spirituality. Is  surviving (or learning it) such a bad thing? It is unavoidable, for even in an urban evnironment, there are plenty of pollutants and competitors (both in demand and supply) to handle, aside from massive amounts of bacteria (which the body is composed more of than human cells themselves) and viruses. Besides, criminals are mostly concentrated in urban environments (not natural ones) and are mostly interested in money, and even if you do not have it then they can still go for your clothes / accessories / organs (to sell) anyway.

In some cases of the Left Hand Path (of Return) there is atheism.  Atheism means not believing therefore having a god (therefore idol / representation) to worship. It does not mean not believing in something beyond the 5 senses of the  5 elements  therefore void of egoism.

The left hand path comes from the 3 vehicles of enlightenment: 1) Hinayana : the embodied soul will be good but resist evil therefore experience suffering therefore do evil therefore cause suffering therefore experience even more suffering.

"Our purpose is to Die, that He may be reborn in us." ~Galatians, the holy bible. You are not the false (ego / separate) self, you are the True (Spirit / united) Self, for the body is only an avatar. You are beyond mind; you are  unknowable . You are the observer , not the doer; a Being not a Doing. The Spirit of the soul, a no-mind, and definitely ... a nobody. In other words, you are the watcher of a nameless & formless actor(s) who is playing a temporary  brainwashed & delusional ego character with a prescribed name, height, nationality, religion, god(s), job(s), traits, skills, hobbies, likes and dislikes. (Ego-self is always limited, but Soul does not see that. Soul can not only mend these imperfections, but appreciate them as they are. The material world was, is, and will remain smeared with conflicts, flaws, and drama, as long as body-mind identification remains. Self realization removes all inner therefore outer separations & conflicts) Why are you here in
