Step 1
Take a natural stance in Ninjutsu so that your feet are slightly apart with one foot more forward than the other. Center your weight. Watch your opponent as he takes a fighting stance with his arms and hands extended toward you.
-
Step 2
Step a little to the right as your opponent advances and attempts to punch you with her left fist.
-
Step 3
Raise your right arm, bent at the elbow and use your upper arm to block your opponent's punch. Because you hit the inside of your opponent's arm and push it away, you will direct the opponent's punch past your torso.
-
Step 4
Go to the left a little as your opponent advances to punch with his right fist.
-
Step 5
Block the punch by raising your left arm and hitting the inside of your opponent's arm with your forearm.
-
Step 6
Move forward and push against your opponent's chin and neck with your right hand. Because of your sudden shift, this will throw off your opponent's center of balance, making it possible for you to push your opponent over backward.
-
Step 7
Remember to continue the pushing motion even after your opponent begins to fall. This makes your movement smooth as well as transfers all of your energy into the throw.
-
Step 8
Practice blocking and taking down your opponent in Ninjutsu slowly at first so that you are able to get each movement down. You are also giving your opponent the opportunity to learn how to fall, something that is important in Ninjutsu and any martial art.
-
Step 9
Add more and more speed as you block and take down your opponent. You will see that each block works together to take away your opponent's center of balance, making him more vulnerable to being thrown.
-
Step 10
Use the block and take down in Ninjutsu in the ring during matches. As you become more accomplished with the moves, you will learn how to apply them in real time situations.
