| | Jodan no Kamae, also known as "Hi no Kamae" (the Kamae of fire) or "Ten no Kamae" (the Kamae of Heaven / Sky) is an aggressive kamae, both spiritually and physically. | | | But we must not forget the origins, meanings, and uses of these kamae as they serve as reminders as to the roots of Kendo and we should all at least be familiar with them. | | | Gedan no Kamae is also known as the Kamae of Earth. |

| | Although the word "kamae" is usually translated as "stance" or "posture," the strategic concepts that are represented in the use of kamae are rather profound and begin to reveal themselves only after the student becomes more comfortable with the physical aspects of kamae. | | | For example, you may start in shizen no kamae (natural posture), step back into ichimonji (figure one), then raise your arm into doko no kamae (angry tiger stance), then move into hira no kamae (flat posture), then hoko (embrace and encircle), and finally to juumonji no kamae (figure ten). | | | This ability to flow from one posture to another is important in taijutsu. |
