SANSHIN NO KATA (SUNSHINE NO KATA)Do these slowly and smoothly, focus on breathing, movement, and Chi flow. Keep an open heart and let your mind go empty. Just feel the technique flow. Do not force it, let it happen. Feel the sun on your face and enjoy the way it feels to awaken fresh from a night’s rest. Feel your sweat roll across your body and then feel it drying and cooling you. Imagine you hear children at play. Focus on the sounds around you by not focusing on anything. Let yourself enjoy the movement.

*from here, the rest is shamelessly taken from Bujinkan websites. The importance is that the techniques are accurate. Study well and deeply.

Chi No Kata: You are standing in a ichimonji type position, thus: feet in a " L " shape, heels in line with each other, one set of toes pointing straight ahead, the other set pointing away from your side. Feet should be shoulder-width apart or a little more. Knees bent, knees in line over the foot. Most of your weight is distributed over the back leg, front leg is light and ready to move. Weight distribution is either 70-30 or 60-40. If the right leg is the lead leg pointing straight, then the right arm is the lead arm also pointing in the same direction. Same for left side: left leg, left arm. Lead arm is pointing in same direction as lead leg, hand pointing at eye level of another person. Hand is held loosely together, thumb cocked down a little to avoid being broken by an opponent. The hand is held with the palm pointing in the same direction as the rear leg. The arm is kept slightly bent, not rigidly straight, also to teach not easily having your arm broken. The rear arm makes a curled fist ( fudo-ken ) , and rests on the rear hip, the rear arm covering the rib cage. Your gaze is straight ahead, following the tips of the fingers of the lead hand. Your gaze is relaxed, not rigid. Your back is straight. Your shoulders are back. You are also being taught to remove rear body targets as far away from an opponent as possible. Your body is completely in line. From here on in, the preceding instruction will be referred to as " kamae ". All Sanshin no kata movements proceed from this kamae. Chi No Kata begins in kamae. As you move in any movement in Sanshin no kata, do not allow your body to lift up out of your crouched position from weakness of the knees or laziness. Keep level throughout the movement. Lean forward, let rear hand drop a little behind the your body or buttocks area. now step forward with the rear leg and set it as the lead leg and simply point the toes of your former lead leg to the side to make that your rear leg. You, in effect, change the lead to the rear as you change the rear to the lead. Your rear arm becomes the lead arm as your lead arm takes up the former position of the rear. Your new lead arm becomes a strike to an opponents diaphragm. The hand forms a variation of the kiten-ken, or shuto strike, by clenching the index finger to touch the finger next to the pinkie ( the second metacarpal to the fourth ), the thumb pushing the index finger to it. The pinkie is touching the fourth metacarpal. Your hand resembles a scoop. You use this scoop inside and under the diaphragm. (Under the chest area. ) Your arm is once again lightly bent, not rigid, hereafter referred to as a "natural position". You are leaning forward with the strike, as though you were committed to it, your body should resemble a spear, with the point being the tips of your fingers and the end being your rear leg. Your heels are in line, as before. Weight is around 70-30 with the lead leg carrying the weight. Repeat the exercise by

reversing the body again, the rear arm becoming the striking arm, etc. Do the exercise ten times, five on each side. After each strike, assume the kamae position before switching sides. Make sure you keep your knee joints over your feet, and do not allow your knees to bend inward or outward. Always keep your spine straight. You may have limited space, so all of the Sanshin no kata movements can be performed as either an advancing motion or by staying in one place. To stay in one place, bring the lead leg to the rear, the toes pointing in the opposite direction as the rear leg, heels almost touching, then advance the rear leg to become the lead. You should be staying in one place if you are doing it correctly. This is the most commonly used form in the dojo, because of limited space. Outside of the dojo you can cross ground. Your legs begin like this: "L" and end up a reverse of that, and then switch again, etc. Do the movements correctly, do not become lazy in it, as you will develop bad habits. There is a saying, "God loves an upright man." Keep your spine straight, as this is one way to remain upright. Your teacher loves it when you are upright as well. This allows your chi to flow properly. With the strike, exhale. When you are switching, inhale. Keep your stomach tucked in. Remember the spear. You are like the earth, holding your ground, confident of your victory.

Sui No Kata: The movement in Chi No Kata is a straight line. Straight back then straight in. The movements in the rest of Sanshin no kata are based on the 45 degree angle, or "The Triangle Principle", L. The lead hand "drops", as though becoming limp. The hand reverses its' original position of the beginning of kamae by allowing the palm to point in the opposite direction the rear toes are pointing. The arm makes a large circle clockwise if using the right arm and counter-clockwise if using the left arm. The arm itself does not bend at the elbow. The back of the hand falls behind the body and the circle begins. The hand turns into a fudo-ken and rights itself back to its starting position(palm facing the direction of the rear toes) when it approaches the point where the hand was originally . So that the end of the arm movement looks the same as when you started except now your hand is in a fudo-ken. The leg movement is thus: you are standing in an imaginary triangle with your lead leg at the point of the triangle. Your rear heel is at the center of the bottom line of a triangle, as in kamae, your heels are in line. If your lead leg is your right leg, then your rear toes would be pointing in the direction of your left side. You will step to the left corner of the bottom of the triangle and put your heel at that junction. Your lead leg will slide a few inches and fall onto the left line of the triangle, or the same line that your rear heel is touching. The distance between your two heels will not change from your beginning kamae distance. (Since the lead leg slides a little it is sometimes necessary to move the rear leg across and down the triangle a bit.) Now, as the arm movement happens, so does the stepping movement, simultaneously. (The dropping of the hand usually occurs a split second before any other movement, but before the circle begins, you should be moving.) Now, the lead leg comes back, as in Chi No Kata, and the feet go heel to heel. The lead arm drops down to form a fist on the same side hip at the same time you go heel to heel. Your rear hand comes up next to your temple, your crook in your thumb points at your temple. Your hand is in a fudo-ken. You step forward with what began as your rear leg and make it your lead, setting it at the point of the triangle. Your arm swings into a kiten-ken, or shuto strike, to the neck of an opponent. The movement begins in the elbow, not the shoulder. The fudo-ken does not open into the shuto until the split second before the point of imaginary contact. You should be hitting the imaginary neck with the fleshy portion of your palm, directly below the pinkie and to the outside of it. The step forward and the strike are done simultaneously. Again, avoid harsh, jerking motions. Be fluid, like water. Do not rise up or down, stay level throughout the motion. Relax your body, do not tense up or try to use muscle strength. Deliver the shuto with the force of your body, not muscle

alone. Slap your shoulders to remind yourself to relax. The other side is the same only, of course, your arm would be travelling in a counter-clockwise position in the beginning. So, it is thus: An imaginary opponent strikes at you with a fist. You step to a 45 degree angle while applying a damaging counter strike to his arm ( at his elbow or wrist area), then you draw your leg back, looking for anymore movement from your imaginary foe. When you see none, or you see he has been knocked off balance by your initial strike, you step forward and shuto strike the foe in the neck. You can apply the exercise with a real opponent. You are like a wave that recedes, then comes crashing back in.

Ka No Kata: The same as Sui No Kata except for the mindset and the final strike. Study Sui No Kata, then do thus: After you have dropped the hand, made the circle, made the fist, stepped to a 45 degree angle, then brought your lead leg back heel to heel with your other leg, draw your rear arm up in front of your upper chest area, hand clenched in a fudo-ken, the crook of your thumb pointing at the jugular vein in the right side of your neck (if you began with the right leg forward).Your Hand is almost touching the opposite shoulder. You step forward, you shuto strike to the neck with the same fleshy portion of the palm as in Sui No Kata, only the palm will be parallel to the ground, whereas in Sui No Kata your palm will be facing the sky. Complete the strike, fall back into kamae, do the other side. Your mindset is that of fire, explosive energy, nothing can stop you. You are breaking not just the opponents' neck, but his spirit as well.

Fu No Kata: If you've learned the feet movement in Sui No Kata and Ka No Kata well, then you will have no problem learning the feet movement in Fu or Ku No Kata because they are identical. The hand movements and the attitude are the only thing that changes. Begin in kamae. As you step to your 45 degree angle, (assuming you have your right side and arm forward) then swing your arm counterclockwise bringing it from in front of your body to the outside of your lead leg. Imagine someone kicked at your right hip area and you are moving away and striking at their leg with a "sand the floor" type of technique. Curl your wrist at the end of the movement like you are pointing your pinkie at the sky. This is like you are resting their imaginary leg in the crook of your wrist. Bring the lead leg back as in the above techniques and put your lead arm on your same side hip as in the above techniques. As you step forward you swing your arm up in a uppercut type of motion, only let the arm extend naturally, don't bend it unnecessarily. Extend a Shikan-ken (extended knuckle fist) into the imaginary opponents midsection (or diaphragm area.) Fall back into kamae, do the other side and repeat. The attitude you have mentally is you are being evasive, elusive, difficult to grasp. The strike is difficult to see coming, you are like the wind, appearing in your face when you never saw it coming.

Ku No Kata: The leg work in Ku No Kata is the same as Sui, Ka, and Fu. The initial arm work is the same as in Fu. If you stand with your right side forward, your arm swings down and across and outside your body in a counterclockwise motion, wrist curling up. If you are standing with your left side forward, your arm swings in a clockwise motion, as in Fu. Begin in kamae. As you make your move, swing the arm. Bring your other arm up and flick your wrist open at the level of the opponents' eyes or higher. As your imaginary opponent is looking at your open hand bring your rear leg up into a foot stomp kick at their midsection, all the while replacing your lead arm and hand on your hip area in a fudo-ken. The idea and attitude behind it is that you are being creative and you are not bound by conventional striking methods. You are directing the opponents' vision up and at your hand, while you are secretly stomping them in the chest.

Kihon Happo (Keep On Happy)Omote-gyaku, Ura-gyaku, Oni-kudaki, Uchi-maki-dori, Jumonji-no-kamae, Hicho-no-kamae, Ganseki-nage, and Ichimonji-no-kamae. The details here are brief, as you should find a qualified instructor to teach you the correct movement.

OMOTE-GYAKU: You and Uke are facing each other. He grabs your lapel. You "cover" his hand by lightly touching the palm of your hand over his fist. This keeps him from breaking your collar bone if he were to shove into you. If he grabs you with his right hand, you cover with your left,(mirror match), and then turn to your right, placing your forearm against his outstretched arm. You do not step with the turn, you simply pivot as though you were skiing. Your knees are bent and held closely together, to keep him from kicking you in the groin. If he kicks he will hit your knee and injure himself if you are doing it correctly. Take his grip from your collar by pressure of your forearm, and then pivot to your left, striking him in the face or eyes with a shako-ken (palm strike). Let the strike come up like an uppercut, and do not launch it like a thrown punch. It must be deceptive. At the moment after the strike, (your left hand should still be holding his right hand), turn the wrist flat, pointing the palm parallel with the ground. Bring your hand from the strike to cover and press the back of the hand down. "Walk" with the uke, in a crossover step motion, characterized by the Koto Ryu. Uke will go down. Keep your back straight at all times to avoid being taken off balance, and remember to bend your knees. These are the basics for the later expressions of the combat techniques in the Bujinkan. If you don't keep serious and focused on what you are doing, (i.e., learning to protect your life), then you may end up like the unfortunate fellow above. Pay attention to what you are doing!

URA-GYAKU: Ura-gyaku is close to Omote-gyaku. Once again, uke grabs your lapel and you match it, as in a mirror. This time, strike first to the eyes (shako-ken), making sure not to be seen by the uke as throwing a strike. Rather, lift it up like an uppercut coming from under his chin. Immediately after the strike, reach across with the same hand you struck with and reach your hand around the uke's grabbing hand, setting your fingers up and into his palm. When you make this grab, you will have pivoted on your feet with bent knees, like you were skiing. This protects the groin. After grabbing his hand, pivot back to the other direction, point the palm parallel with the ground, and walk, as in the Koto Ryu, with a crossover step motion. Keep the uke's wrist in the center of your chest when you pivot, or raise it above your head.

ONI–KUDAKI: Uke grabs your lapel with his right hand. Step with your right foot onto his right foot. At the same time, raise your right arm and place it behind the tricep area of his grabbing arm, keeping your hand open. Place your left hand in the inside of his wrist, that is, closest to his body, and the opposite of your right arm, which is behind his arm. Keep both of your hands open. Replace your right foot with your left, so that you are standing on his right foot with your left. At the same time that you step, roll his arm with your left arm pressing on his wrist. Roll it until you can grasp your hands together. (For a tighter wrap, bend your fingers over his arm and grab your fingers.) Now his arm is bent backwards into a damaging shoulder-lock. Take a step back with your left leg, stepping to your back, and away from his right side. He will fall. Keep your spine straight. This is the demon crusher.

UCHI-MAKI-DORI: Also known as: Musha-Dori! Uke grabs your lapel, or the sleeve of your jacket under your elbow. He grabs with his right hand. You step towards him with your left foot first, stepping on his toes. At the same time, your arm comes up and over and behind his arm, near his triceps. You do this quickly and/or when someone has really got a good grip on you. You turn to the side, so

that you are facing in the same direction as he is, your foot still on his toes, however. You bring your arm towards your body as you turn, so that you are turning his arm in the same manner as Oni-kudaki, that is, with the rolling of the arm and the upwards lifting pressure. With Uchi-makidori, however, you raise the arm up high, until the uke is coming off his feet from the pain. You grab your palms together,the hand on the bottom has the palm pointing skyward, the hand on top has the palm pointing down. That way, if he struggles, he will only tighten the grip. Kick to the back of his knee with your left leg. He will fall backwards. Maintain the hold. You can follow up by resting your knee joint into his temple.

JUMONJI NO KAMAE: The fire technique. Stand in Jumonji. That is, stand with your wrists and arms crossed, and whatever side leg is in front, so should be the same side arm. Feet are shoulder-width apart, toes in front turned slightly inward, gripping the ground. Your knees are bent. Uke punches with a right fist at your face. You step to your right slightly, (your left leg should be in front with your left arm in front to begin). Swing your left arm up and punch underneath his arm. Then take the same punching arm and lean forward with a Boshi-ken strike(thumb strike) to his ribcage. Raise that same arm up to his eye level, with your palm towards the ground, hand straight at his eyes. If he advances forward, he catches your fingers in his eyes. Withdraw your hand after a moment, and switch arms and legs for the other side. Uke attacks the other side. Repeat.

HICHO NO KAMAE: You are standing on one leg, as in the picture of me above. Your supporting knee is slightly bent, and your arms are as in Ichimonji no kamae. Uke either punches at your ribcage or kicks with a stomp kick to your ribcage (we'll say your left ribs, while standing on your right leg, left leg cocked as in the above picture.) You swing your left arm down and redirect the punch or kick, then footstomp uke with your left leg. Then you plant both feet down and advance to the uke with a Shuto strike to his collarbone, pulling the strike downwards (90 degrees), striking with your right hand to the uke's right side.

GANSEKI–NAGE: Uke grabs your sleeve. If he grabs your sleeve from the elbow down, you will put your hand behind your head with the movement, as though you were lying down on your head. If he grabs your sleeve from the elbow up, then you will do as such: Uke grabs your left sleeve with his right hand. You step forward with your left foot, putting it inside , towards the middle of his body, and turning parallel with his body. As you are doing this, bring your left arm (still being held by uke) underneath his arm until his arm is resting on your bicep. Your hand remains open, and your hand's palm is touching the shoulder-blade of the uke, or above it. You keep your back straight, even though you lean forward to do the throw. Don't lean from the hips, let the whole body lean at the same time. Don't bend from the hips. Kick your leg back, or simply let it go back into the area of the uke's right foot, causing him to go off balance. As you lean forward with your whole body, you rotate a little on the hips horizontally and apply pressure against the shoulder area. The uke goes down.

ICHIMONJI NO KAMAE: Begin in kamae. Only difference is that whatever arm is lead, you will place the other arm's fist (in a Fudo-ken) resting in the crook of the elbow. You look through the space created between the lead arm and the fist. You are judging directions of movement with this. Think about it. Uke delivers a right punch to your head. You will have your left arm forward, right fist in the crook of your left arm's elbow. You step back and to the side in a triangle principle, or 45 degree angle, as discussed in the Go-gyo page on performing Sui no kata. As in Sui no kata, you will bring the left arm up to punch his attacking arm, but instead of the huge, exaggerated movement in the

Go-gyo, you will use a tight, compact movement. Do it quickly. Then draw the lead leg back, as in all of the Go-gyo movements, and then step forward and deliver a Shuto strike with your right arm to the opponents neck or collarbone, stepping forward with the strike.

THE KIHON HAPPO OF THE TAKAGI YOSHIN RYU JUTAIJUTSUOMOTE-GYAKU: For a more detailed description of Omote-gyaku, see above. Once you understand the Gyokku Ryu school's kihon happo, then you can perform the Takagi school's kihon much simpler. After initial collar grab, (assuming a grab from the attacker's right hand), you cover with the left hand, and step back with the right leg. You strike to the opponent's eyes or at least feint towards them. When they flinch, you remove their wrist, keeping it close to the center of your chest, and point the palm parallel with the ground. The uke goes down on their back.You take your left leg and step on their face, rolling their head to the side away from you. You step over their body by their face area, controlling the head, causing them to turn to their stomach. You will have placed your right foot under their neck, lifting upwards with a toe strike into their throat. You press down on their arm and wrist, causing a wrist and/or shoulder and/or arm break.

URA-GYAKU: See information above to learn where to go to get a deeper understanding of the kihon happo. You must learn the kihon happo of the Gyokku Ryu before studying these techniques, as these are not described in detail:Uke grabs your lapel with his right hand. You cover with your left hand and step back with your right leg. You strike with your right hand to his face, then reach over with your right hand and grab his hand, putting your fingers deep into his palm. You turn to your right more fully and point his wrist towards the ground, becoming parallel with the ground. He does a Taihenjutsu front shoulder roll to escape. You stick your right leg over his body and place the heel towards his hip joint, foot flat on the ground. Your other leg is close behind his head, touching his face. You take your left hand and put it below his elbow; Your right hand is still holding his wrist. You fall to your back, bringing his arm close to your body, and as high up as you can, (bend your knees). Put your left leg over his face, so that both of your legs are over him. You point his thumb towards the ceiling so that his elbow only bends towards your midsection. Arch your hips and extend the elbow. This is a jiu-taijutsu arm lock.

ONI-KUDAKI: Uke grabs your lapel with his right hand. You strike to the uke's ribcage as you get your wrists and arms into oni kudaki. You step pretty much the same as the Gyokku Ryu, except that when the uke falls to the ground, you place your legs as in Ura-gyaku. You sit straight up and continue to turn the arm in oni kudaki fashion, not letting the uke move out of it because of the placement of your feet.

Asayama Ichiden Ryu Kihon Waza Reiho (Bowing) From shizen no kamae kneel on to right knee with right hand on knee, left hand on left thigh. Bow head. Lift right hand and slap floor saying “Oh te a wanakne e yoosh” (lets be gentle, lets begin)(e yoosh as hand hits floor). Raise up to shizen no kamae.

Note: Taihenjutsu is very important for those practicing martial arts. One uses it to avoid the enemy's attack, as well as for the purpose of attacking. Freedom of attack and defence is a major point in Taihenjutsu. Taihenjutsu also contains footwork, includes body drops or dives and examining or feeling out techniques. Mastering these types of techniques is as a whole known as Taihenjutsu.

Taihenjutsu Mutodori KataNote: An essential point or foundation of taihen is to first measure the distance between you and the opponent's sword. Then, it is to know the character of the opponent's weapon. The next thing is to avoid the opponent's weapon, to avoid the sword. It is important to avoid, not to dodge it. Otherwise, it will hit you. Avoiding is most important.First measure the distance between you and the opponent with respect to the sword, taiken kihon. Then, as you raise the sword over your head in jodan and strike in, about the first 3 inches of the sword tip will hit the opponent's forehead.Hira No Kamae As sword comes down change into ichimonji no kamae and roll away.Note: Roll away straight at ninety degrees. This is a fundamental. Carefully seeing the interval between you and the weapon. This sort of training is a most important element in taihenjutsu.Ichimonji No Kamae As sword comes down roll forwards, from ichimonji no kamae to the right at 45 degrees, on the right shoulder to land on one knee. Attacker faces defender with sword in daijodan. Defender strikes with shito ken to suigetsu.Note: Be in a position where you can easily leap in right away. In this way, creating by means of the direction of rolling a distance from where it is easy to leap in is one of the methods of taihenjutsu.Jumonji No Kamae As sword comes down tobi or step back from jumonji to jumonji no kamae. Tobi in to kiten ken to uko, then again or kiten ken to kote.Note: After you step back, the legs are still important. The legs must be able to kick immediately. You have to be able to move, the legs launch you forward. It is no good just to step back. Legs immediately able to jump are important.

Fly in at the opponent. This is important. All right. Leap, moving, topple the adversary. Zenpo Tenkai (Forwards flip to back)Note: Always land in jumonji.Note: Taihenjutsu is very important for those practicing martial arts.

Koto Ryu Koppojutsu Kihon Waza Hoken (Secret Fists)Shuto ken (Wake up rolling strike) Use sides of hands, with the hand open approx 60 Degrees. Snap the hand open on impact (The strike is used a lot.)Fudo ken (Spiritual blade) Use the clenched fist for punching, and strikingNote: The fists involve more than just striking with the hand. By moving the legs, the speed of the fist is doubled.Boshi Ken (Thumb drive fist) Use an extended thumb that is supported by a fist to jab, and strike muscle areas, and nerve endings.Shako Ken (Claw strike) Use the palm, and the fingertips to strike and rake, then change this into a fist.Note: In this five finger fist, the five fists of the fingertips as well as the one fist of the palm hit the target.Hosen Ken (Bee sting strike) 3 fingers in a stabbing strike. Use mainly the ends of the fingersNote: Here one strikes with three fingers. If one thinks that such a strike is too weak, one then puts in a toe kick in the interval between the three-finger strikes. One is creating a rhythm. This can also be called rhythm fist.Shishitan Ken (Pinkie strike) This fist can easily be used against the neck, underarms or other areas. Train fingers for endurance.Kikaku Ken (Demon horn strike) Using the thick bone on the forehead, sides, and the back of the head, in a smashing butting action.Note: The forehead is also a fist. Of course the fists rest on the attitude that "I am a fist", and thus one proceeds to toughen all of one's body. That is how one trains.Soku Shin To (Toe sword) Use the tips of the toes to strike, or jab the target. Sometimes it is best to first use Hicho then the geri.Sokuyaku Keri (Sole of foot) Use the bottom ball, heel (sole) of the foot, to shove into the target. The heel contacts first.Note: Next, one leg and two leg kicks when one's balance is upset after a single leg kick, one executes a backward roll break fall.Kiri Gaishi (Shin / instep kick) Kick by just lifting the leg as one, not as a snap kick.Tenken Keri (Flying kick) Kick inside to the jaw and push down as in sokuyaku geri.Atemi no Tanren (Body Conditioning)Trees: Make full and proper contact with tree to build up striking power.Note: To begin Atemi training one first wraps straw around a tree, and then wraps a cloth over it. It is said that in the old days animal hide was used for this purpose. Strike with the concentration from all of one's body going into the one fist. Then proceed to vary one fist into the next, conditioning them one after the other.In a Bucket: Put sand into a bucket and strike into it with various strikes. Graduate to courser material, going through gravel and on up to small rocks.

Partners: Make half but proper contact on skin of partner with fists and feet, to increase resistance to pain and toughening of muscles.Taihenjutsu (Art of Changing the Body)Mae Ukemi (Forward break fall (long and short))Koho Ukemi (Backward break fall into ground fighting posture)Mae Ukemi Sokuho Gaeshi (Forward break fall sideways barrel roll)Zenpo Kaiten (Forward roll)Koho Kaiten (Backward break fall then backward roll (long and short))Zenpo Ten (Forward handspring)Zenpo Mawari Kaiten (Forward diving roll (long))Zenpo Hicho Kaiten (Forward diving high roll)Happo Tobi (10 Directions leaping) Note: Taihenjutsu is very important for those practicing martial arts. One uses it to avoid the enemy's attack, as well as for the purpose of attacking. Freedom of attack and defence is a major point in Taihenjutsu. Taihenjutsu also contains footwork, includes body drops or dives and examining or feeling out techniques. Mastering these types of techniques is as a whole known as Taihenjutsu.Taisabaki (Methods of walking)Yoko Aruki Cross step walking, can be done sideways as well as forward and back.Also used to stamp on / trap opponents feet while fighting.Kurai Dori (Kamae)(5)1. Ichimonji No Kamae (Figure number one posture)The front leg is slightly bent. The corresponding arm is out, pointing at attacker, and the hand is open, the other hand is closed and by jakkin, standing in a 50/50 posture.From hidari ichimonji no kamae, dori migi geri with migi arm, migi sokugyaku geri to kinteki, migi geri to supporting leg.2. Seigan No Kamae (Straight eye posture)As in the ichimonji no kamae except the rear hand is at obi level.Note: The positioning of the feet in assuming these positions is very important. The position of the feet completely determines the distance. If the position of the feet is not always capable of changing correctly, it cannot be called a true seigan no kamae. It is important for there to be allowance in one's movements. Strike while remaining in the kamae. Then hit in unseen places.From hidari seigan no kamae, migi tsuki to jakkin of migi tsuki, strike to wakitsubo with hidari fudo ken ending up in jumonji no kamae, push off balance with migi te and migi shuto ken to butsumetsu.3. Hira Ichimonji No Kamae (Flat number one posture)The feet are as in hicho no kamae but the knee is facing out to the side. The arms are out stretched to the side of the body.Note: Recall the image of a top spinning forcefully. This involves stabilising the centre of gravity of one's body in space. When the opponent comes in at any point, the top will flip away the opponent's attacks. That type of movement is hidden within this kamae.Fall back to slap away tsuki with the same te, lean through and slap the hadome.Slap away tsuki with the other te and geri (with same leg as slap) to shinchu then to asagasumi.4. Hoi (Hoko) No Kamae (Bear receiving posture) (Encircling posture)The left foot is slightly forwards, and the body is very upright. The hands are held above the head, in shako ken. Note: The whole posture looks as though you are holding a large ball. The weight ratio is 70/30 forwards, make yourself look big. In one's mind there lies the posture of being ready to assume an offensive position at any time, the attacking posture of "I'm coming for you".Dori tsuki push down, shako ken to murasame and push down.5. Bobi No Kamae (Defensive posture)

Standing in a natural posture of 50/50, migi hand out front in fudo ken, hidari hand on katana.Note: Bobi no kamae contains the strong mental posture of, "Come on, any time!", of always being ready to respond to the opponent's attack. Although the migi hand is held out in front, it is very important to use the front and back hands in the same way, based on movement of the feet. As this is kurai dori, the feet must move along the correct track of victory.Yoko aruki to ura of tsuki, use back of fudo ken to hadome, step back across to tsuki with other te to asagasumi, come back into ganseki nage.

Hidari foot in and hidari happa ken to asagasumi.Note: When the opponent grabs your lapel or comes in with a right punch against various attacks, one uses the same technique yokuto. In the original warrior arts, one had to be able to change from the same opening against a variety of attacks. According to the ancient teaching, you must always cover the opponents right hand that grabs your lapel with your left hand. This time the attack is with the right fist. When the opponent grabs your lapel, the manner of kicking also changes based on the positioning of the feet. The manner of punching changes as well.When striking in with the right thumb, one proceeds by pushing in with the left arm. Push in, and then pow! This is also very important. If you come in with the thumb from out here, it doesn't really go in. Come in like this with the foot on the out side, then kick and take the ear. The ear is torn. Bring him up. This time when moving in, grab the opponents left shoulder with your left hand in the manner of koppo. From here the kick goes in right away. Then push down. when you have a staff you can use the same techniques in the same manner with the staff. Techniques and weapons can be used effectively together. This is a characteristic of koppojutsu or ancient bujutsu. 1a.

Shinden Fudo Ryu DakentaijutsuKihon WazaTatara Ken (Secret Fists)Fudo ken (Spiritual blade)Use the clenched fist for punching, and strikingNOTE: The fists involve more than just striking with the hand. By moving the legs, the speed of the fist is doubled.

Sweeping fudo ken as you walk to kage.NOTE: Here rather than punching with the hand, bring the leg forward first and throw the fist at the opponent. This; is a characteristic of the fist of Shinden Fudo-ryu. One punches in a straight, natural manner. This fist is not twisted here. Thus, for instance, when punching the opponent's throat, the punch is set up from here. It is already determined here. This makes the punch strong. Then launch forward.NOTE: Here you walk forward, opening to the side based on the manner of walking, at which time you punch naturally. This punch is for when you are walking past each other.punch in from below. You punch naturally. Walk naturally in this manner. Shifting to the side, punch with the fist. So you do not punch straight. You walk like this and deliver a vital point strike in a natural manner. Walking like this, shift the legs a little and strike.Shuto ken (Wake up rolling strike)Use the sides of the hands, with the hand open approx 60 Degrees. Snap the hand open on impact. (The strike is used a lot.)Shako Ken (Claw strike)Use the palm, and the fingertips to strike and rake, then change this into a fist.Note: In this five finger fist, the five fists of the fingertips as well as the one fist of the palm hit the target. Also use in a slapping motion.Kikaku Ken (Demon horn strike)Using the thick bone on the forehead, sides, and the back of the head, in a smashing butting action.Note: The forehead is also a fist. Of course the fists rest on the attitude that "I am a fist", and thus one proceeds to toughen all of one's body. That is how one trains.Sokuyaku Geri (Sole of foot)Use the bottom ball, heel (sole) of the foot, to shove into the target. The heel contacts first.Note: Next, one leg and two leg kicks when one's balance is upset after a single leg kick, one executes a backward roll break fall.Juji Geri (Cross kick)Kick the foot across the other leg low as walking, not as a snap kick.Taihenjutsu UkemiWith a partner do hip throws while landing on your own feet.Note: The break fall here is very important. When thrown with a back throw while wearing a sword, it is very dangerous if you don't land feet first. Put on a sword. Put on a long and short sword. The fact of the two swords is important. When you come in here, you have to come in between the swords. Break the fall in this manner.Zenpo Kaiten (Forward roll, relaxed)Koho Kaiten (Backward roll and push up then tobi for distance)Atemi no Tanren (Body Conditioning)Trees: Use fallen branches across shoulders to swing and strike trees and to lift as weights to condition hips and legs.Note: Before all, knowing nature is the foundation. Thus one trains by using the things of nature to make the body strong. First one must condition the legs and hips.Make full and proper contact with tree to build up striking power with strikes and kicks.Note: Then one must condition the fists. Here, doing body strikes against a tree, part of a withered tree broke off and fell. Becoming able to sense such things is also part of the training. This nice sized tree could be used to toughen the forehead.Climb tree and strangle with legs also dropping back for a type of situp.

Note: One uses trees to practice the do-jime torso srangle.Use young trees, rest arm on them and force to bend by stepping in all directions.Note: For the taijutsu of ganseki-nage throws, making use of this bamboo's elastic force is very significant for strengthening one's body. Discovering such possibilities, one would train using the bamboo to increase one's power. The ganseki-nage differs depending on direction. Thus one bends the bamboo while changing position.Step around a tree as if to throw. Juji geri to trees as walking.Note: Walking through a bamboo grove one practises the unique kicking method of Shinden-ryu. This is training in take-ori ("bamboo break") kicking. One walks and kicks without stopping.Breaking old branches with shuto.Note: Here, rather than breaking at once, one breaks gradually, with a series of blows.Strip bark from trees with shako.Note: Then one tears bark off trees. This is similar to tearing human skin.Grabbing the core of an old tree and pull it out.Note: One grabs and crushes, or grabs and holds, a withered core inside a big tree. This training increases gripping strength for chokes or seizing muscles.Note: For training in the ancient teachings one did not build a dojo or make training tools and then train. One would foremost use the things of nature. Beginning Techniques1.
