Taijutsu

The art of using the body, an empty handed combat that is a subsystem of ninjutsu. In Taijutsu, there are 16 natural weapons: head, right fist, left fist, right shoulder, left shoulder, right elbow, left elbow, right knee, left knee, left heel, right heel, left toes, right toes, body (or taiken), and right hip and left hip.

There are no stances in taijutsu (or ninjutsu), instead there is footwork about how to evade a strike to the outside, or inside, etc.

In Taijutsu, there are many grapples and take downs, though it is not centered on them

That ninja doesn't have any weapons; he must be using Taijutsu!
