In addition, in the East, Shinobi-aruka - the silent gait of the ninja, was considered a high martial art. Today, silent walking is indispensable during nightly raids on the refrigerator, as well as for unexpected surprises.

Instructions
Step 1
To walk silently, you need to slow down your movement speed. A fast run generates a rather loud stomp or crunch of branches, if it happens in the forest. First, bend down a little so as not to touch the branches and shift your body weight slightly forward. Take careful short steps, placing your foot first on your toes and then transferring all the weight of your body.
Step 2
If you need to take wide steps, stretch your leg and lower it to the heel as you step, then carefully transfer the weight to the entire foot. This will allow you to immediately remove your leg if a crunchy branch appears under it. After that, bend it slightly at the knee and take a step with the other leg, moving in a semi-squat.
Step 3
Walking silently on a flat surface is slightly different. Bending your legs, lower your heel to the ground first, and then the outside of the sole, so that you get a kind of roll from heel to toe. Thus, you can even run silently on a flat surface.
Step 4
When walking in swampy places, the main source of sound is squelching from a leg pulled out of mud or swamp. Therefore, on a viscous surface, move in short steps, immersing your foot in the slurry, starting from the toe. After diving, place it on your entire foot, choosing the hardest spot. Do not stay in one place for a long time, otherwise your legs will sink deeper, and their pulling out will be accompanied by a loud sound.
Step 5
When moving over rocks or gravel, when you place your foot on the rock, make a rocking motion to make sure it is held securely in place. Otherwise, when the weight of the body is transferred to the stone, it can wriggle out from under the foot, creating a noise. Once you are in a stable position, take a step with the other foot.
Step 6
When walking in the water, do not pull out your legs while walking, move them under the water in the manner of skis. First put your foot on the toe and start the next step with it. Move in smooth, rhythmic movements.
