There are a lot of people that want to be healthy and to start self-defense training. If you become interested in self-defense, you will not be able to stay aside from the Ninja’s martial art of Ninjutsu. There are a lot of articles written on this topic but you need to choose those ones that are written by real masters. People become interested in this type of self-defense when they watch movies about Ninjas that do a lot of interesting maneuvers to fight an enemy.
Seems, it is impossible but any person can do it and training with a professional is needed. The secret of Ninjas is included in their body movements and learning them, you will be able to act as a Ninja. Besides, every Ninja needs to learn taihen-jutsu which is known as a science of body skills for Ninjas. This science is closely related to self-defense and increasing its effectiveness with combinations of movements. 
Considering the range of movements, they may include leaping, rolling, walking as well as body drops. The use of these movements is only possible when they are perfectly trained and can turn to be skills. The secret of their effectiveness is precise definition of the situation and the right time when to use a specific skill.
For an ordinary user, rolling would be treated as a sign of agility but for Ninjas it is a perfect way to extend distance. It helps a Ninja to escape much faster and in some situations it is the best way to survive. Learning how to leap in the proper way, you will have a chance to escape quickly from straight attacks when stepping may not be so effective. Walking is not treated in its initial meaning as Ninjas use it as a controlled state of falling.
