  • I could.
  • No, I just tried. Maybe I am just out of practise. I will answer again when I can. Thanks Goddess I was bored but now I have a goal in life.
  • Not since I hurt my left hand.
  • no - I tried a couple of years ago but when it came to it, the thought of aiming at the ground more or less head first terrified my so much that my arms collapsed. this left my eight year old neice laughing hysterically.
  • Yes I surely can.
  • I wish I could :)
  • How? I am just not strong enough. I can just about do it against the wall but my wrists give in!
  • Yeah, just before I head to the ER for spinal fractures :)
  • Sure. Not for very long, but I can do it.
  • I can do them upside down with relative ease.
  • Yes ... __________ Here is one Ninjitsu hand exercise, it is called the "Spider Hand". Beginners will start by kneeling and placing their finger tips (and thumb tip) on the floor. Try to imagine that each of your hands is a spider. Lean forward and shift some weight onto your fingers, as much as you can easily hold. Then lifting only one finger at a time (or thumb ... both same on both hands at same time) let your finger take a single step ... like a spider walking ... then step another and another as you walk your hands apart, together, foreward, back, all around to every possible possition reachable from where you are kneeling ... walk like a spider with your hands. As you get better at the finger coordination and start to develop some finger and hand strength, switch from kneeling to a fingers and toes position ... this will look like a push up position, but you are NOT bending elbows to lift and lower your body, you are keeping your body firm and mostly motionless while walking your fingers and letting your wrists and arms follow. A little later, with some more hand strength built up, switch to an elevated feet push up position, with feet on a table, chair, chair back, or whatever and keep walking your fingers ... start trying to tap your finger tips hard with each step, like a spider kicking the ground. Then, move close to a wall, do a hand stand on your finger tips with your feet resting high against the wall, and finger tap the floor as you walk your fingers getting your arms moved closer and wider apart. Hit the floor as hard as you can and move your arms as close and as wide as you can without falling on your face. Finally, at the advanced level, do a free hand stand in the middle of the floor, get up onto your finger tips and walk like a pair of spiders all the way accross the room, slamming the floor hard with each finger step. This will prepare the hand and fingers for, firm grabs, nerve pinches, and acupressure point pokes with your finger tips.
  • No, I cannot, I never could - because i grew up in WWII in Germany, where I rather fought for my survival and had no strength for exercises left.....
  • Yes, onto a wall. I periodically do them because it's good for brain circulation. Its fun to see everything upside down too.
  • nope.. i doubt i will ever be able to do one
  • nope... I cannot
