I think it would be very nice to go that fast but the idea of running with my arm behind me seems a bit impossible. In my opinion anyway. [img]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc143/jjbanaNANA/yociexp122.gif[/img]

I would hate to be on the receiving end of a nice trip while running like that. Talk about a major nose dive, ouch!

That's why you have to put one hand in front of your face and make a hand sign.

1. If you fall down you can protect your noggin.
2. Your enemy will think you are casting a Jutsu and flee in terror.

This works because when I ninja run to the accounting dept with my purchase orders, the guy who does the numbers for my department always looks like he is a little afraid of me.
Also my boss looksworries when she sees me do it. (She prolly thinks I'm going to cast Shadow Clones and make a mess.

Life is tough......but it's tougher if you're stupid.

When running naked, everyone evades you.

if speed is what you're after then running ninja-like is impractical since the swinging of arms gives propulsion forwards, like in the athletics races ...

also, trying to keep them high behind you makes them really sore >.<

Do you do that often, mamasmilk?

i bet he dose

sometimes. when i'm in major hurry, got noone around, i ran. it seems faster than usual run. or perhaps it's just me.

Let's get Kickin' ...whatever that means

Quote from Dark_Sage

I imagine you've all seen the way ninjas run in Naruto. They have their arms to their sides and trailing behind them while they run forward like they're charging.

Well, have you ever replicated this method of running? If so, how often do you do it when you run?

Personally, I run like a ninja every chance I get. Whether it's charging into the girl's locker room at school (I run too fast for the ladies to see who I am, but my ninja eyes pick up everything) or racing my friends (they're usually a bit faster than me, but then I use my kunai ^_~) I'm ninja running like crazy.

Please, share your ninja running stories.

Actually its not only ninjas, its the way super-fast people run in anime. Check out some anime other than Naruto that required a big run with empty hands and no flying - and all characters run the same way with hands trailing behind them. Good example: Tenchi Muyo GXP - the main character - Seina rides on Bicycle competing with Tenchi running on foot. Tenchi runs with hands trailing behind him.
I would call this "running anime-style" and I don't really know why most anime use this way to draw running characters.
I have thought of couple of reasons why japanese mangaka (or is it anime- only?) would do it
#1 Its current fad in japan for kids/teenagers to run that way
#2 some really old but really famous anime (or movie) character used to run that way and now most of anime industry copies that style because it looks good on screen (not in real life though)
#3 Animators are really lazy and don't want to waste their time drawing the running characters in realistic way especially in long series such as Naruto
#4 There was some study or conclusion somewhere that to run this way is to minimize air friction

see what I thought was it was an attempt to display how fast the characters were really running, basically moving so fast that the arms are forced backwards like that.
