Doesn't have to be competitive swimming, unless you suck at getting yourself on a routine of swimming.

I had a book on "ninja" back when I was 12, it showed some moves they "probably" used to break into things.

Only thing useful I saw was the door buster kick.

I was thinking of doing it last summer but I ran out of time looking for areas to do it. And there is way to many sloped roof buildings where i live by the way.

I'm debating whether or not seeing someone falling on their crotch upon a rail skateboarding or falling flat on their face wall jumping, is funnier.

I might have to go with the latter.

How2do one arm push ups? I know i'm strong enough, I think it's the proper method that I can't get.

Ronin · January 02, 2009, 07:46:09 PM

Tilt your body 30 degrees to the arm you are doing the push up on.

Probably be more effective using weights, less likely for you to hurt yourself.

Ofuk my whole back just cracked and I broke a sweat. I think I'll wait until the summer so I can get back in shape.

Ronin · January 02, 2009, 07:48:42 PM

Or just not be stupid about it and maybe research it in a fitness magazine.

Whatever floats your boat.

The origin of "Urban Ninja" It's not Parkour, nor Free Running. It's an adapted style.

Vertzer, don't do one handed yet. Once you can master pushing down, holding your body weight for 30 seconds while in the low position, than you're ready for one handed. That's how my ninjutsu master taught me.

Probably have to be a short guy for this.

Count me out.
