#Shobukan #InyoRyu #Battojutsu / #Kenjutsu explores two similar #guardStances in #martialArts: Chûdan no kamae and Seigan no kamae. #Chudan is a #defensive position, effective when stationary, while #Seigan is safer for moving around. Both positions are beginner-friendly and provide a sense of safety, but their extended blades limit offensive capabilities and can make practitioners vulnerable to binds and displacements. Most #kenjutsuka use Chûdan while standing still and Seigan while moving.
