Gedan-no-kamae

Gedan-no-kamae

Nihongo|Gedan-no-kamae|下段の構え:げだんのかまえ, frequently shortened simply to "gedan", occasionally shortened to "gedan-gamae", is one of the five stances in kendo, "jōdan", "chūdan", "gedan", hassō, and "waki". "Gedan-no-kamae" means "lower-level posture." This position is adopted when the sword is held out in front of the body pointing at the waist in kendo, or at the knee of sometimes ankle in "kenjutsu".

It is considered to be a variant of "chūdan-no-kamae" and therefore appearing as defensive posture, but instead it is used to deflect blows and create striking opportunities. This stance is used as a transition from "chūdan-no-kamae" to a "tsuki" (thrust). It is seen as the "Kamae" of Earth."Fact|date=February 2007
