Guide for effective nin-jutsu:

As a guide for effective ninjutsu training, it is crucial to understand the significance of the following considerations.

1.) Be there 100 percent. Allow consciousness to hold on to each moment as though it were that exited. Concentrate totally on your purpose and actions. Do not let your mind wander from the training activites at hand.

2.) Keep your center of gravity as low as possible while still permitting easy movement. Do not concentrate your strength in your shoulder or upper body.

3.) Keep your movements relaxed and fluid, delievering the impact at the last second. Do not tense up by trying to maintain power through the entire technique.

4.) Use the entire weight of the body to create power and knock your attacker back or down. Do not try to out-muscle the attacker with the movements of your limbs alone.

5.) Keep your foot work fast, responsive, and appropriate. Do not settle into and maintain a fixed stance for the fight.

6.) Use proper rhythmic breathing to generate and restore energy. Breathe out with application of movements. Do not hold your breath when releasing energy through technique application or interception.

7.) Control the direction of your eyes, keeping your attacker in sight. Do not concentrate so much on your technique that you do not notice a possible change in the attacker's action or position.

8.) Bear in mind the purpose of the technique. Do not attempt to carry through a technique that is no longer needed. (If the attacker lets go before you can complete the wrist lock, that's fine. Your purpose was to get him off of you, not to execute a deadly technique.
