Step 2Research
Research the ninja's role throughout history; this will help you decide if you consider if Ninjutsu is the right art for you. Refer to Masaaki Hatsumi's books. There are 18 different ninjutsu (note that samurai and shinobi (ninja) use the same thing):
Seishin-teki kyŨyŨ (spiritual refinement)
Taijutsu (unarmed combat, using one's body as the only weapon)
Kenjutsu (sword fighting)
BŨjutsu (stick and staff fighting)
Shurikenjutsu (throwing blades)
SŨjutsu (spear fighting)
Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)
Kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle weapon)
Kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics and explosives)
HensŨjutsu (disguise & impersonation)
Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)
Bajutsu (horsemanship)
Sui-ren (water training)
BŨryaku (military strategy)
ChŨhŨ (espionage)
Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)
Tenmon (meteorology)
Chi-mon (geography)
These are the hand signs at which ninja control chakra

Mastering all of these can help you become a real shinobi (ninja). But the main thing is to avoid being spotted. Thats why shinobis always do missions in the night (that's their highest point of advantage).

Chinese =/= Japanese, and ninja are not going to waste time doing a bunch of hand signs before performing an action, ninja are not known for being inefficient.
