Greetings, viewers. Today I am joined by my comrade, Enkimaru. And I am Satori.

Today we are going to teach you the most famous and most important ninja hand sign

Now! Allow us to teach you how to execute Tõin

To start, make a fist with both hands. Then extend the middle finger and index finger of both hands.

This is called Tõin, The Sword Seal, because the right hand represents the sword, and the left hand represents the sheath.

Therefore, it is symbolic of sheathing your sword.

Therefore we place the right, the sword, within the left, the sheath.

Tõin is used by ninja to focus our energy and calm ourselves, especially before a mission

In fact, modern research indicates that Tõin can indeed have a calming effect, physiologically
