    There are several variations of these stances, depending on the school. For example, the hasso stance is often taught to have the tsuba at eye level. In Musashis school this is further enhanced with the blade held at an angle, sloping backwards to hide the length of the blade.

    Fascinating how your right hand grip changes from closed (Jodan, Seigan, Hasso), to loose (in waki) or completely open in On-Ken.
    But the left hand always stays closed to lead the strike.

  • @bulldogmicro4279
    @bulldogmicro4279 2 роки тому +4

    Question for you boss. Are these styles considered fundamentals of the katana or are these stances interchangable? Would a true swordsman switch between stances in combat or would they just have a preferred stance that is the go to? Here is a example, games like Ghost of Tsuima, he switches stances on the fly to combat things like spears or shield users to match the moment of combat, is that accurate or would a master of the sword just have one stance they've practiced there whole life? Great video btw!

    So, is it 7 or 8 kamae? I only count 7 named, and you mention practicing 'all 7', but the title mentions 8 kamae. Is this a philosophic riddle, wherein the eighth is a moving between stances? Is the eighth much like the seventh but where the tip of the sword is between your eyes and your opponent's eyes? Or is this a simple matter of typographical error?
    Thank you in any case; just wanting to make sure I'm learning correctly.
