Updated thread on the KAMAE
shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1057/maki-kamae-stances-attitude
As we go over KICKBOXING training in the next several sessions, consider the KAMAE in our Source material
JUMONJI - Aggression - FIRE - as seen in Boxing, Wrestling, or even a Rugby player
ICHIMONJI - Defensiveness - WATER - Some of our KARATE and the Distancing of SAVATE - yet consider MUAY THAI, though it appears to be a very aggressive art, is the whole stance and Kamae of THAI not Defensive and Water based - and isn't the THAI stance actually HOKO Kamae, a WIND posture
HIRA and HOKO - we have already discussed how the THAI Kamae is Wind and Water. What about the Aikido stance - it looks like an Unarmed version of the Sword stance (it is), yet the whole of Aikido is WIND evasive and even WATER Defensive
