Getting off-topic here...
Are there any more forms of ninjitsu to list?

Many styles of ninjitsu stayed within the extended family group and were not taught to outsiders. I am not sure that it would be truly possible for a westerner such as ourselves to come up with a comprehensive list of ninjitsu styles or schools.

And another factor is that many Japanese thougt of those involved with ninjitsu the way many westerners think of snipers - not favorably. Now I don't mean martial arts fanatics I mean the average citizen.

From what I've heard, in the past ninjas were seen a bit like today's gansters. You don't really respect them for who they are and what they do, but you sure as hell don't mess with them either. A respect through fear sort of situation.

Strange analogy but respect through fear is a very apt description.
