Ninja Stealth Walking Guidelines

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.

    Ninja Stealth Weapon as Nunchaku

    Author: Tony Hackerott

    Ninja were highly trained warriors of feudal Japan. Ninjas executed covert and dangerous missions, such as assassinations and espionage. They were well-known for their precision, skill, and use of weapons. Ninja weapons were typically weapons that would be easily carried and concealed, allowing the ninja to stealthily target and attack an opponent.

    A popular weapon for participants of ninja training today is the nunchaku. Ninja nunchaku are two sticks connected by a rope or chain. It is possible that the first nunchaku were used in the rice and soybean fields of ancient Asia. Used as a thresher, the nunchaku could have been used to separate the grain and husk of rice and soybeans. The original nunchaku and those used in later years as weapons were made of wood, and the two sticks were connected by a horse hair rope. The wooden sticks were covered in mud for several years. This hardened the wood and prevented the wood from rotting.

    Today, ninja nunchaku are made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, fiberglass and plastic. The connecting cord is can be made of nylon, rope, or a metal chain. The sticks of these ninja weapons can have a cross-section that is round or octagonal. The octagonal-shaped sticks can cause greater injury to an opponent than the round-shaped sticks. Both sticks are usually of the same length.

    Ninja nunchaku need to be the proper length for the user. The nunchaku sticks should be the length of the user’s forearm. When the cord of the ninja nunchaku is laid across the palm of the user’s hand, the two sticks should hang comfortably from the hand and be in a position that is perpendicular to the floor. It is essential that these ninja weapons are balanced. The cheaper ninja nunchaku that are available today may not be properly balanced. Precise balance of the ninja nunchaku allows the user to perform more fluid moves. Advanced nunchaku movements are not possible with improperly balanced nunchaku.

    Ninjas were known to employ fighting techniques that allowed them to be within a close range of the opponent. Ninja nunchaku can be concealed by the user and then quickly taken out and used for the attack. The average length of nunchaku is twelve inches. Mini nunchaku, or mini chucks, are about eight inches in length and be concealed more easily than the typical nunchaku. Both the twelve inch ninja nunchaku and the mini chucks can be used to strike an opponent from many different angles. Ninja Weapons
