Introduction
There is a line in Night of the Ninjas where the ninja trainer tells the protagonist that "the way is in training." The basic idea is that you can't be playing paintball in the woods all of the time - eventually you'll have to make the money to buy paintballs, spend time with family and friends, and do other various things that society deems normal - but I digress. Because you can't play all of the time, you need to spend time training to play.
There are two basic things you can do to stay "in the mode" - train your hands (exercise, dry-fire training with paintball guns or airsoft, target practice, martial arts, etc.) or train your mind - that is to say work on things that allow you to think about things tactically. For example, chess was developed during the middle ages as a way for knights to work on tactics and strategy when not engaged in warfare.
