Jutsu, and others

Are Jutsus, Genjutsus, Taijutsus, and all the others, (i dont know how many there are), but are they real? Im curious because i saw a spell, I forgot the name, but it was a jutsu. Im wondering, what are all the types of jutsus? I know we need to use our chakra to use a jutsu, but genjutsu? Im still new to all this, and Im going to be new to everything one thing at a time. Anyway, im curious about these things and if anyone could help me.
PLEASE DONT refer me to links, or use lectures on how it all works.

Im just asking for anyone to explain these things in your own words, you know so i'll understand by experiences from other people doing magic, and from those of you also learning.

Thank you for reading this, I hope you all can help, and seriously dont refer me to other links.

I have absolutely no idea what a Jutsu is! Anybody?

if my memory serves right, they are in fact real, but they aren't exactly what many t.v shows have made them out to be. it's actual fighting, japanese combat, if im not mistaken.

i can't offer much on the subject since it isn't something i've studied before, i do apologize for that

You were probably watching naruto. First off, your "chakra" does not exist in the manner the tv show makes it out to be, you have Chakras, not chakra. I can guess which ones are more likely than others

Let's see,
Taijutsus--according to naruto Taijutsus are the physical-only ones, so they are pretty likely the actual art of ninjutsu. Yes, ninjutsu is an actual martial arts.

Genjutsu--according to naruto Genjutsu is a jutsu that effects the enemies mind(s). This is likely just plain old telepathy used to play tricks on somebodies mind.

Ninjutsu--according to naruto this is like casting a spell in combat to cause a powerful effect. Actual Ninjutsu is a martial art, but the Naruto version seems like spells.

I just looked up "naruto" on google and it says its a japanese series, I dont watch those shows, mainly caus i wouldnt understand and i dont read subtitles while watching tv. So im still curious about all that.

And thanks for your information.

I agree. It is a form of martial arts not Magic.

anime is fiction. however if you are interested in a mental for of martial arts search kuntao.

Jutsu means, quite simply, technique.
This does not always mean 'magic' technique. But there are some jutsus that are magical jutsus, like kijutsu, which directly translated means description. But has everything to do with the flow of magical energy.
