Individual Movement Techniques

Exploring the night often necessitates a departure from conventional methods of moving your physical body from one point to another. For this reason it is wise to utilize what are often considered 'individual movement techniques' or IMTs. Reasons for using these techniques are many, but the basic underlying reason remains universal; you need to avoid being seen while still moving, whether remaining still be a danger in itself or you simply do not have the time to idle in place.

As a general concept, understanding habits in how the everyday person uses their primary senses is important. Utilizing all three dimensions in your movements to escape expectations can require certain techniques. Similarly, the cadence with which you move can break what one would expect to hear when associating sound with their fellow humans.

Outside of the human element, techniques may improve your chances of remaining unseen against security elements. So too are they vital in safely or quickly making certain vertical movements. The right technique can even make a seemingly insurmountable obstacle possible to overcome.

Here, we will look at such techniques. Many are basic and will be learned organically by the rogue venturing into the night. Others complicated, requiring practice on your own time before employing in the shadows. No matter their complexity, all are weightless knowledge you can carry with you on your adventures without slowing you down. Learn as many as you can.
