Postures are called kamae. A kamae isn’t a fixed pose, it’s a ready position that lets you move in any direction. Shizen no kamae is the natural posture. Ichimonji no kamae turns the body sideways with the arms in a line. Hicho no kamae, the flying bird, balances on one leg. Jumonji no kamae, the cross, uses crossed arms to defend. Names and details vary between schools, so learn them with a qualified instructor. Search Shinobi-Kai Stoke to learn more... #ninjutsu #kamae #mar
