Today me and Pines were exploring an abandoned factory with a friend. It was raining so were probably seemed silent. We went upstairs and as Pines turned a corner he saw a guy getting up, we quietly left slowly and explored downstairs a bit then left. Any suggestions on how to deal with people in ab...

I have a small ninjutsu forum online, we want a few more members because activity is dwindling, if your interested in ninjutsu (not just weapons and hand to hand but everything) go check it out.

Welcome, feel free to ask around if you have any trouble with anything and feel free to share any experiences (writing them will let you realize and analyze your mistakes to improve). Go out there and try some stuff out.

stealththief

I'd say wear brown or black so that you'll be set even if a light hits you. Remember that you can always hit the deck and pretty much vanish a lot of the time. Have an escape route ready but if you're just exploring everything should go smoothly really. Good luck.

stealththief

It looks slick, I'd say it's probably durable but I really don't know, just basing my experience on their other stuff that I bought. Here's the shoulder holster http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/bags/918a/ Not sure I like it as much, I feel a tactical vest, back pack or even a jacket with pockets i...

Here's a description of the technique (not as good as a video but w/e): Start in prone on your belly. Move your weight to your shoulders and walk your legs forwards while staying relatively low. Shift weight to one side and start a standard shoulder roll, once you've rolled curb your momentum by tur...

stealththief

Welcome tbone. Glad you came and decided to post.

stealththief

I never thought of the dark color thing, but it makes sense, I'll try it out. Great information.

stealththief

Definitely, E&E is probably one of my favorite things, even when walking around, the parkour training combined with NO and other experience makes my mind passively spot escape routes everywhere. I'm sure Crisis has this in his head as well. Either way though a flexible plan is always a plus.

stealththief

Welcome Hiro. Glad you know you're strengths and weaknesses. Hope you can learn more here. You should try a spontaneous operation every now and then to get a feel for field improvisation and flexibility.

stealththief

I have a few ideas floating around my head, mainly stuff I wanna get done now that the weather here is getting nice again. Let me know any tips or anything that have worked if you've done similar stuff or just ideas. A lot of these are stupid and I probably won't pull through with most but whatever....

stealththief

I'm not always going to post long multi-technique posts, some will be only one move. It usually depends on how much time I have to write. This will cover the lazy vault. The Lazy vault is used to cross obstacles in a fluid controlled manner that is slower but more controlled than the two handed or s...

stealththief

Welcome, I hope you're able to learn stuff here and I'm glad you're willing to each.

stealththief

I ran into this while researching ninja escape and evasion (intonjutsu) and I ran into this a while ago, thought I'd share it because it looks like a way to spend an afternoon while getting sharp in terms of social stealth. The rest of the forum unfortunately is a buncha roleplaying stuff and doesn'...

stealththief

Yea, there's gonna be a lot more covering techniques. Also get to me on AIM or MSN if you want me to send you a parkour boot that goes over basics with pictures.

stealththief

I have this great pair of sturdy dark timberland books and I feel they'd be great for ops but they make a bit of noise when I walk not from walking loud but because the boot itself bends and makes sounds. How long does it usually take to break in a pair of boots so that they're close to silent when ...

stealththief

Third post I'm porting in from another forum. This is the last one I'm porting the rest I'm probably gonna post on both forum simultaneously after I write it. In this one I'll cover jumping while moving forward, the two handed vault, and speed vault. These vaults and the jumping method explained wil...

stealththief

More stuff on parkour from another forum, thought I'd port my useful posts here as well. I'll cover landing, rolling and jumping in this article, they're the basest basics and should be worked on continuously no matter how good you think you are. I'll start with landing. Landing comes in two variati...

stealththief

This is some stuff I wrote for another forum thought I'd put it here as well. Parkour, a movement art, discipline and sport is relatively new under that name. In the past it was known as various things such as: running from the cops, getting outta dodge, bouncing and a bunch of other ones, but parko...

stealththief

I've worn stuff like that and as long as the under layer is quiet or muffled by the clothes on top it's your best bet. Crawled through a bunch of snow and muddy dirt during a paintball game a while they had given us these cheap camo outers and I had worn camo on my own so I was set with BDUs on the ...

stealththief

That's all you really need, the mirror and picks are optional, you can probably go out with just a knife. Other gear depends on the situation, like a grappling hook for a flat wall or a small laser to see how far stuff is.

stealththief

Wow, that's crazy. Technology has come pretty far, I'm sure this won't be used any time soon for small stuff on our level but if it becomes common we'll have to watch out a lot more, not that we should be leaving DNA around anyway.

stealththief

Doing NO for long enough will get you chased at some point or another. There are are a few ways to escape this pursuit, such as running, hiding, negotiating etc. However I'm gonna talk about aggressive escape, as I call it. The idea behind it is simple, a hunter will go out and try to kill some dear...

stealththief

I personally ware more black than anything else. At first I used mostly dark blue, because of the good blending ability, but I thought about being lit up and still remaining invisible and that only works with camouflage and colors that are likely to fit into the background (and as I learned that red...

stealththief

If you do only one thing and you have access to a large body of water, SWIM. It'll work everything, strength, agility, endurance all that.

stealththief

I remember this thread from the old forum. Each of us picking our minds to find out why we do it. Why do you op? Night or black? I personally starting opping for fun and because I've always been interested in stealth. After taking up ninjutsu, it became a ninja training test of sorts. I like the fee...

stealththief

I've considered buying these but opted for water shoes instead when I got to the shoe store. They are less flexible than I thought (I tried a pair on) but like tabi will make a lot of climbing so much easier.

stealththief

The grip on the bottom of the boots looks like it could stick to glass and then dash on some gravel quietly. Let us know how they perform the gear looks awesome.

Seems like I'd be useful for teamwork where multiple people are using NODs. Could be useful as beacons or for signaling where silence is required and visibility is low.

stealththief

These are useful. I used some of them like the freeze, down and regroup mostly. Nice find.

stealththief

I may be new but I know something amazing when I see it. http://tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/climbing%20gear%20main/trg_grabber_grappling_hook.htm Kinda expensive but I am looking for a more affordable version I'm surprised how light that thing is I've seen it before and it looks awesome besides the ...

24 is awesome I should actually follow the show, but this just goes to show that even Jack Bauer has to borrow techniques from the NO community lol jk.

stealththief

I've never dealt directly with dogs always going around a longer way but I personally think that a projectile tranquilizer is the best option if you can pull it off, quick to quiet the dog and lasts a good amount of time. I'm thinking along the lines of blowgun. However most people (myself included)...

It's ridiculous how some people think in terms of security.

stealththief

Welcome to the site. You should do what you're comfortable with you'll progress and improve.

stealththief

Welcome, you have a great background of activity to start night ops. Parkour and you comfort in the wilderness will make you elusive and the rock climbing can translate into buildering ability.

stealththief

Welcome Vald, you know me from the other forum as urban welcome here.

stealththief

This is something I want to try. After having read Tom Brown Jr's "Way of the Scout" and seeing how much he was capable of doing with nothing but good timing and some water and local debris, I'd want to give it a try. I'm probably going to have to wait for the summer because using natural camouflage...

stealththief

Anyone get anything cool for the holidays? I got the cheap night vision I posted about and some books by Tom Brown Jr that may help with wilderness training.

stealththief

As many of you seem to practice both parkour and NO, I'd like to introduce the idea that I've run into a bit while doing some internet research. I call it "Complete Parkour" and it is a parkour base with various disciplines that deal with "reach and escape" or "A to B" as it would occur in a real em...

stealththief

There's soo many patterns and tests I don't even know where to start.

stealththief

Here's some more I learned when me and student/kusa did some parkour training in the snow. Rolling of all sorts is much easier and requires less strict form. Walking in other peoples prints is great when you have prints to walk in (less sound, no new prints ect). Walking single file in each others p...

I've been on that forum and to be truthful no one there is really going to become an assassin in my opinion. It's fine to train in certain aspects of martial arts that are often overlooked is fine, but to be an assassin is irrealistic, I like the forum I just don't understand why it's named neoassas...

Ninjutsu stuff that applies to snow that I know is limited :(. I'm learning more slowly as I now feel it is much more applicable than before. Here's what I do know: Extensive use of the sideways walking method (yoko aruki) is great for snow, the prints are perpendicular to the direction of travel, a...

stealththief

I've never done any work in the snow until I got here and did the operation I just posted. I learned that the snow muffles sound, leaves prints and reduces visibility. I have no formal techniques or tactics for the snow or general cold. Any advice on what works for you in the snow for those of you w...
