Try it for what?

I don't do any martial arts, but as far as I know, Ninjitsu is a soft style which has emphasized ways to kill your opponent which should traditionally be a samurai. It contains "dirty tricks" like throwing sand in your opponents eyes and many ways to disarm and use their weapons against them.

It's cool (and perhaps pretentious and cheesy) and probably fun to learn, but I'm not sure how valid it would be on a day to day basis in my life at least. For dealing with agressive people and not assassinating them, I would think jujutsu which has a lot of locks that you use to stop people from fighting or something else would be a better choice.
