I heard that an well trained ninja can walk on an rice paper and does not left any foot prints

Question

so can an human get trained enough to be so stealthy like sam fisher (splinter cell series)that nobody can hear him walk?

Answer 1

The object in walking on rice paper is to not tare it. Or to wrinkle it either by moving it or from sweat from being nervous. Yes it can be done. Walking silently and or in unison with surrounding sounds to mask your movement can be done as well. As a hunter stalker I had learned this from an old French Canadian hunter I use to hunt with when I was 14 years old. Walking through dense forest cover while keeping quiet enough to not frighten wild game is a useful and translatable skill to martial arts. You learn to read sounds as well as to how to use them to mask your own and how to minimize the noise you will inevitably make. Just moving around the placement of large pieces of furniture in a room will change the background noise from things like the HVAC system and street noise.

Answer 2

not true, and splinter cell was a game, but u can try nothings stopping u, just dont go around kicking people and grabing them from behind while hiding in a dark area or a cieling

Answer 3

The problem is - who cares?  Ninja were assassins, ostensibly.  They killed people by getting past the "technology" of the day - squeaky floors, night watchmen, rice paper, and dogs. And rice paper was supposed to rattle to alert guards, not make footprints - they didn't really have forensic detectives when this was used.  At any rate, nobody who is worried about their life lines the hallway outside their room with rice paper any more.  They have steel re-inforced doors, motion detectors, heat sensors, and other technological advances that make the skill of silent walking virtually useless.  

And assassins have car bombs, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, whatever...so again, rice paper is no obstacle.

Training to walk silently on rice paper is useless - unless you are playing video games.

Answer 4

That was one of the opening scenes from T.V. KUNG FU series in the 1970s for the goal of a young Shaolin monk to attain.

Beginning their training as early as two, the Ninja was taught as a toddler to walk across a tight rope stretched across the floor.  As their training progressed and they got older, that tight rope eventually became longer and higher off the ground, until the adult Ninja could lassoe a distant object, secure his end, and walk across to the other side even if hundreds of feet in the air.
