In feudal Japan, a ninja, otherwise known as shinobi, ...,,,,,,....,!!2     was a covert agent who specialized in sabotage, espionage, infiltration, and, when the situatio!!!!!!!!!!!!!n required it, assassination and combat. To train to be a ninja, therefore, you

 must learn to fight wit        h alacrity as well as s,,,,,,,trength, slipping in and out of your missions while remaining practically invisible to your foes. Their skillful espionage a!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?nd guerrilla tactics go beyond the sk      ills of a traditional warrior. Practice moving in complete darkness. When you travel at night, you should try to avoid any street lamps or other artificial sources of light. Try both of these tactics. Climb trees. In additio::;;;;:::;;;""'''n to their stealth tactics, a ninja must be ex         tremely nimble          . Being comfortable climbing trees is the best way to practice nimble  movement strategies. You might want to invest in a pair of hand and foot claws [4] and practice climbing trees using them. Getting to the higher ground of tree branches will not only help you avoid enemies,!!!!!!!!!! but will also give you a better view of your surroundings. '''Camouflage yourself using nature. '''Start with the most basic hiding posture, otherwise known as Uzura-Gakure. If you remain completely still, you can hide among rocks in your natural environment. By hiding your face, you'll blend into the tree and take advantage of the blind spot of the human eye. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Much like Uzura-Gakure, you must become as still as possible, even stiller than the leaves blowing in the wind.

Evade suspicion from your enemies.!!!!!@@### <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">While the modern ninja must cope with a larger amount of human-made light, many        evasion strategies from feudal Japan can still be used today.---++ I <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">f you guide your steps onto the outer edge of your feet, you'll         muffle the sound of a normal {footstep.} D <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">istraction and misdirection will also help you avoid suspicion from your enemies!!!!!!!!!!!!. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">They will direct their focus toward      the other sound,  mm  \\       giving you ample time to sneak past. '''Run quickly. '''<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">While your goal is to evade startling your enemies, you also want to make sure that you're confident in escaping any u         nforeseen conflict. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The Thirty-Sixty Speed Training is a simple way to improve your cardiovascular strength and sprint speed............... Y <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">ou'll start by jogging for 60 seconds.

<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">You'll repeat this cycle three more times, and it should take you exactly seven minutes......... <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">This should feel like a passive recovery, but you want to make sure you're keeping your heart rate up......... '''Practice your jumping......... '''<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">When paired with your climbing and running skills, YOU"LL be able evade attacks from your enemy if you ever engage them in combat. .. ....... <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Some exercises that you can do to improve your jumping skills and leg strength include:  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">This will strengthen your quad muscles.  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">By walking on tiptoe, you'll also practice moving more quietly, which will improve your skills in espionage. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> These are !!!!!!!!!also known as box jumps.  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">This squat will strengthen your legs. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Put your leg into the air, about waist high, and hold it there. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Maintain this position for as long as                 possible. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The stronger your legs are, the        more force you'll be able to put into your jumps. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">A large part of learning the><<>><<>><<>><<>>><>> way of the ninja, especially in modern t        imes, is using the weight of your body to gain strength. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Remember that mastering these exercises takes some time, as they require full engagement from your entire body, rather than just one isolated muscle. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">While many of the martial arts can be incorporated into your combat strategies as a ninja,

<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">taekwondo is one of the oldest and most tried of these schools of thought. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> Your enemies, especially if they are untrained in combat, are very likely to attack you with their fists. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Your legs also have a larger range of motion than your hands when taking down enemies coming f    rom all sides of you. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Remember who you are!!!!! that you must think about moving through the board, not simply onto the board itself. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Make!!!!!!!??????? sure that whoever is holding your board has a firm grip, as this is half the reason that you'll be able to bring your force through the wood to snap it. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">When engaging in combat, the ninja can also fight with a staff. This is useful in taking on a large number of enemies, especially as your foes may be approaching you with similarly blunt and powerful objects. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The bo staff has been used by the ninja since their beginnings in feudal Japan. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Your stance contains a great deal of your power when fighting with a bo staff. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">You want to learn a wide variety of striking strategies. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Pairing these strategies with your most nimble stances will maximize your dexterity with the bo staff. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Contrary to popular belief, these outfits are actually not black, but actually are made from a dark blue fabric

<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">Dress to fit your environment.

<span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Because a ninja must evade suspicion from enemies at all time, it's crucial to adapt your attire to fit your surroundings. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The ninja also wears combat sandals, simultaneously lightweight and supportive when moving quickly. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Some of the traditional ninja             disguises include monks, merchants, and actors. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">This way, you can enter any town and be perceived as a stranger,-,,,........ making your unfamiliar presence not seem abnormal. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Controlling your breath is crucial to fully inhabiting the life of the ninja. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Practice some of these strategies, which will not only help you evade attention, but will also improve your mindfulness:  <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Proper breath expands your whole torso. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Running requires more oxygen, so you'll need to breathe in through your mouth and nose at the same time.

Adapt to the diet of a ninja.!!!!!!!!!???"""" <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">It's also rumored that pine nuts improve your sensory perception and can help in the anti-aging process. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">If your enemies can smell your presence at any time, then you will arouse suspicion. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">You cannot be detected       with any sense. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Because so much of the existence of the ninja hinges on being undetectable, you must be careful not to train in the presence of potential enemies............. <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> I <span style="color:rgb(84,84,84);font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;">t's very difficult to properly inhabit the life of a ninja if you have a larger number of possessions or ties to any one location..... <ac_metadata title="YOUR DEATH SENTENCE :DDDDD"> </ac_metadata>
