However, the most demanding martial art is still the renowned art of stealthy flying. Hidden art, in fact, there is no real invisibility of the art, just training to the hands and feet exceptionally sensitive, jumping and running ability is very strong, in the people did not find him, the ninja will have been a long time ago.
