Togakure-ryu Ninpo Taijutsu: Key Points to Training your Kamae | Ninja Martial Arts (Ninjutsu)
In this video, I teach the key points and purpose to kamae when training in the ninja martial arts of Togakure-ryu Ninpo Taijutsu. Regardless of the Ninjusu ryuha that you are training in, kamae is a very important and essential aspect towards martial arts training.
.
In the Togakure-ryu (戸隠流) school of Ninpo Taijutsu there are 5 basic kamae that every student should master:
- Ichi-no-Kamae (一之構)
- Hachimonji-no-kamae (八文字之構)
- Hira Ichimonji-no-Kamae (平一文字之構)
- Happo Gakure-no-Kamae (八方隠之構)
- Tonso-no-Kamae (遁走之構)
The first step towards training your kamae is understanding how to get into the proper position so that you can get a feeling of how the body moves and how you can shift your weight from this position. Although today’s video is a very basic understanding of the concept, you cannot master the kamae, without understanding the basics.
.
This lesson is directly for the practitioners of the ancient Japanese koryu martial arts of the ninja and samurai, such as ninjutsu (ninpo) and bujutsu (budo).

Anshu Christa Jacobson – Kamae
3.5.2011 – Lesson – Kamae
Kamae is more than jut postures and stances. Kamae comes from the inside out, as does all of the wonderful things that we do in life such as love, compasion, your personality as well as your fighting spirit.
Kamae is the opportunity to embody and unify the mind, body, and spirit/attitude all toward a common goal.
The warrior’s kamae are natural reflections of directed intention. This is not a form to be set as law, these are principals to be set and formed towards kamae.
Kamae (構え) is alive, it breaths and changes with everyone of your movements. Don’t practice kamae in a fixed ridged way, you are missing one of the most beautiful lessons of taijutsu.
I hope that you enjoyed the lesson today!
take care, be safe and good luck in your journey of Budo! –
