For enhancement of your personal skills of silent movement for stalking, escaping or examination of the territory, the Ninja-Gear.net brings you these 9 rules of stealth walking:

  • Breathe while you move. Unknowingly holding your breath can produce unneeded muscle tension which can result in loudly release of breath if your are accidentally unbalanced.
  • By keeping your center of mass near to the ground and carried on deeply flexed knees you keep your balance control.
  • Do not move by swinging the entire leg from the hip with stiffed knees. This is lazy and very dangerous habit. All your joints must participate in your movement. Emphasize fluidity by walking with your hips, knees, and ankles.
  • Do not stare in your feet while moving because you do not see other elements entering the surroundings. You must be able to see the entire scene.
  • If possible, allowing your hands to float lightly in front of your body can be a good way to detect possible obstructions. If your whole body encounters them it can be to late.

  • Stop and hold your position if you think that you have accidentally produced too much noise. Bend your knees a little to physically loosen the tension that could normally be caused by the alarm. Listen for signs that you were heard, such as the movements of others or the immediate silencing of background noise following your slip. Take a deep breath and release it slowly to relax. Stay in that place for as long as you feel it necessary to regain calmness and allow possible listeners to decide that they did not hear anything after all.
  • Never distribute your weight over both legs at the same time. When absolute silence is necessary, it is better to balance on your grounded leg while moving the other leg into position to step on it. This way you are always concentrated on your moving leg.
  • If speed of travel is not crucial be as patient as possible. Taking as much time as you can is very important to stay calm. Hasty movements are the greatest dangers to the person who must move silently without detection.
  • Always move in accordance to the surroundings. Do not go to greater distances than necessary to conceal your action, while at the same time being aware of what others entering the area might see if they cannot hear. Total silence may not be needed when moving through areas where rambling noise is natural part of the environment. Also be aware that moving near the ground like crawling or sliding may be the only way to move silently without being seen in some locations.
