Aikido Pure and Simple.
One of the first things we learn in any martial art is the proper way to ‘stand’.
Kamae is basic and natural, it is more than just a stance (which might often just refer to footwork). Kamae addresses the entire body posture and studies the correct way to align and ground with the earth
(also inclusive is a mental posture -
something we will address later…)
Since we are only as good as our foundation, strive to make this posture excellent - because this Kamae is essentially what ‘holds’ you.
Also, kamae is not just about being in a ‘ready’ stance at the beginning of technique - this posture is maintained throughout.
In the beginning, through transitions, and in the end (zanshin).
This ‘readiness’ posture is felt as a pause, not interrupting the midst of flow.
We maintain our structural integrity.
We are relaxed and ready.
And we remain grounded and solid
