[[File:
Related to [[Airplane Arms]]. The standard '''Ninja Run''' is this:
* Body tilted forward, low to the ground.
Line 10:
If the ninja carries a blade while running like this, it is ''always'' held in a [[Reverse Grip]].
Compare with [[Airplane Arms]], where both arms are held straight out or swept backwards.
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Renamon from ''[[Digimon Tamers]]''
* [[Soul Eater|Black Star and Tsubaki]] do this, along with the jumping through trees thing.
* The monster [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Strike_Ninja Strike Ninja] from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. He even holds his dagger in a reverse grip with the front arm. As Joey puts it, "I love watching this guy run."
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Mel C gets called out for [[Naruto| naruto running]] during a chase in ''[[Final Stand of Death]]''.
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 23 ⟶ 28:
* In the third season of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', the Shogunzords ran like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcLngtxV6AI before combining into the Shogun Megazord.] Unfortunately, since the Shogunzords were pretty bulky and blocky, it looked less like a Ninja Run and more like they were running and checking their watches at the same time.
== [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ==
* This was
* ''[[Shaiya]]'' Assassins and Rangers are fond of doing this, as they're very much ninja-like in this game.
* In ''[[Lineage 2]]'', the Dark Elves running animation(but females use without the forearm crooked in front of the body).
Line 41 ⟶ 46:
* Taki from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series.
* Espio the Chameleon in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
* [[The Legend of Zelda|Sheik]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.
* [[Final Fight|Guy]] in the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.
* Shen in ''[[League of Legends]]'' moves in this manner, complete with the index and middle finger of the front arm outstreched and the other arm behind his back, ready to throw blades. His incredibly slow pace really makes it more of a Ninja Stalk, however.
* Kotaro in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' runs like this, with one hand on his sword hilt. Sasuke and Kasuga too, although both holding a weapon in each hand. Also Magoichi, despite not being a ninja.
* Assassins in ''[[Guild Wars]]'' do this while under the influence of a speed boost. [[Justified Trope|To their credit,]] unless they're wielding daggers at the time they will sprint in a more standard fashion; daggers are always [[Dual-Wielding|dual-wielded]] and held in a standard grip in both hands, meaning it's actually fairly practical to run like this (one dagger is ready to block attacks, the other one is in a position to use as much of your momentum as possible for a strike).
* Sol Badguy, Milia Rage and Chip Zanuff in ''[[Guilty Gear]]''.
