A common mistake for students of Ninjutsu is in missing the power in the Ninja’s kamae – personal combat postures. The mistake begins with seeing kamae as the same as the stances common in most conventional martial arts systems. And this closes the door to understanding the tactical and strategic power within them.
In this video, I look at the differences between Tachi / Dachi “stances”, and Kamae “postures,” etc… as well as looking beyond the “form” to many of the tactical and strategic benefits that serious students get when they go more deeply into their training.
