It feels like you run extremely fast if you have your arms back and lean forward alot. It also feels like you are going to fall over and mash your face, but that hardly ever happens.Originally posted by: chet_chetty
I suggest everyone try it at least once cuz it's funny.

the ninja's are trying to evolve their kind. Everyone knows if you run with your arms back, you'll eventually grow wings.

Normally I'd be nice and extend a nice "Hello" to the newcomer, but this one's obviously not worth crap. And he's got fucking Dragonball shit all over him, fucking smelling this place up like a back alley in gutter-trash Saigon.
on topic: I tried to walk around today without moving my arms, nobobdy, nobody commented on it, really sort of disappointing. I also didn't really notice any increase in speed or anything when I ran (albeit briefly).
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I think it only works if you running.
i think it only works if ur running and jumping so that the background moves behind you....

In Official Rules Section: 14. No worthless or low content posts: For example, "hi", "lol", "hahah", "too long, didn't read" "owned", or anything that has no real contribution to the thread are not necessary. If you don't have anything significant to say or if you're not gonna follow the rules of the thread, don't post.
Back to the arms; I think they only move their arms when they need to go fast. In the Zabuza arc, Naruto and Sasuke pump their arms while trying to escape from Haku's mirrors. Maybe they just do it to conserve their stamina. Lazy ninjas.
Edit: What the hell? For some reason it wouldn't let me quote your whole post... Oh, well. Look up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

A little off-topic, but here's a fun thing i noticed a little while back. Whenever a person walks, they always extend forward the arm opposite of the leg they extend forward. You can force yourself to oppose this easy enough, but I wonder why people naturally do that.Originally posted by: masamuneehs

Is it a subconscious attempt to maximize balance?
Is it a bi-product of physics acting on the subtle rotations of the pelvis/spine due to moving one leg forward and one leg back?

It's probably the 2nd that affects the 1st.
We are built in such a way that we naturally move how it is the easiest for us to do so. I would think the physics associated with our walking are there to help us maximize our balance.

Putting arms behind your back and leaning forward definately makes you feel like your running faster. I also did an experiment with a friend where they walked ahead of me and I leaned forward while moving, it felt like my legs covered more distance and I did catch up pretty quickly.
Anyway, one of my friends saw the Naruto kids running like that and has been completely obssesed with it since then. Maybe part of the reason they do it is so kids can feel like they're acting like ninjas without throwing around some of those solid metal kunai they sell in Japan.
I believe the point of pumping your arms side to side while running though, is to maximize the circulation of oxygen through your system. I could be wrong, but if that's the case, then running with your arms still behind your back would only be practical for people with really high cardiovascular. Like ninjas.

Well if you think about it, your right brain controls the left foot and vice-versa. It goes for arms and legs too. I bet also most of those peoples are righty's when they write as well or lefty's.
The whole arm thing probably has to do witht eh fighting technique because, Drill instructor taught us some tai-jutsu and it seems less kick oriented than other forms and styles of fighting. The aerodynamic is a possibility, i don't know. But anyways I'm gonna ask him about it.
If you're implying that the your arm movement correlates to your leg movement because of the two brain hemispheres, then shouldnt your right arm imitate your right leg, instead of vice versa?Originally posted by: tali/spetz

It should but it doesn't. There's a crossover in your lower spine.

All the speculation about why you walk like this do have some validity, but yeah, the main reason is simply for balance. For humans it's just the way we were shaped to walk smoothly, but for four legged animals, it really helps them a lot with balance. Think of a table with two legs on one side angled forward and the other two legs angled back. This table can be tipped over easily. But, with the right legs both coming towards the middle of the body at the same time, and the left legs both going away from it, it makes sort of a tripod.

Aerodynamics combined with the comment about the legs covering more distance per sweep is definitely the advantage of this running style that makes it a lot faster if done right. The disadvantage (and I know this from experience :P) is that you can't manuever as well, and at top speeds with this running style, slowing down/stopping can be very difficult to pull off without crashing and burning. The arms are a desperate attempt at balance. If you try running like that without your arms back the only way to stop/slow down is to either kiss the pavement hard, or run into a wall. I used to run without my arms back as a child for the "danger" fun but luckily anime came around and enlightened me to the beauty of safe fun. The ninjas run like this all the time because they are l33t enough to overcome the disadvantages :P
