Kamae 構
無想之構 Musō no Kamae ‒ clear mind posture
The jutte is in the right hand. The feet are together with the knees bent slightly. The
jutte hangs down naturally at the side
This posture means ‘No Thoughts’. Muso is a posture that is generally assumed
without having to think about what one is doing. We are nether offensive or
defensive in our posture yet we are ready to transition into either.
You should lose the sense of holding the jutte then assume the posture. The jutte
can be held also in the left hand.
⽔⿃之構 Suichō no Kamae ‒ water bird posture
The left foot is forward, and both knees are bent. The left hand is in Fudo ken and
is just to the right of the left knee. The Jutte is in the right hand, pointing straight
down, at the side of the knee.
This posture means to be ‘light footed’, like a bird walking across water lilies. One
should be prepared to advance or retreat at an instance. This posture is also
known as ‘Mizu Tori no Kamae’’
Tori should feel secure in his footwork. This is almost a ‘ready’ posture allowing
movement into any other kamae.
⼀之構 Ichi no Kamae ‒ first posture
The right foot is forwards with the jutte in the right hand. The right arm is
straight and points forward, and the left hand is at the hip.
This postures means ‘Figure One’. We control the centre line with this posture.
We try to force uke to move around this posture either to the left or the right.
Tori should be prepared to adapt his kamae or attack depending on how uke
enters.
Tori should feel in control of an encounter within this posture.

⻘眼之構 Seigan no Kamae ‒ natural eye posture
The left foot is forward with the jutte in the right hand. The left hand is at the
side of the left knee. The right arm is extended with the jutte angled so that it
points to the opponent’s eyes.
Seigan means ‘correct eye’. It is important to point the weapon into the eyes of
the opponent. The posture should ensure power to the hips to develop
hichojutsu. Do not ‘lock’ out the front leg. A good weight distribution of 60/40 is
an ideal. Focus on the opponent, but be aware of your surroundings.
天之構 Ten no Kamae ‒ heaven posture
The right foot is forward, with the jutte in the right hand. The right arm is
extended held high with the wrist held so that the jutte points straight up. The
left hand is at the waist in shito ken
Ten means ‘Heaven’. The weapon should point directly up. This is a high guard.
It is important to remember that the weapon can only be used in a downward
motion from this posture. Zenshin is important. Be aware of possible attack
from any direction.
One should feel a position of power or strength within this posture. A feeling of
striking down uke with a single blow.
BASIC MOVEMENT
For the movement of the jutte it is first of all important to move like a bird treading on water. Thus one
lowers the hips and makes the knees soft.
1. Shizen with the left foot forward and the jutte at the side.
2. Step forward with the left foot into Seigan No Kamae.
3. Step forward with the right foot into Tenchi.
4. Turn to face the opposite direction and assume Seigan.
5. Step forward with the right foot into Tenchi.
“For the movement of jutte, it is first of all important to move like a bird treading on water. Thus, one
should lower the hips and make the knees soft. This is important.”
Quote from Hatsumi Sensei’s video

⾻‐Kotsu:
Do not move before the opponent commits to an attack. Be prepared to move as soon as an attack is
committed. Power can be generated through the hips during the tobi waza. Be aware of a further attack
from the opponent. Do not focus on the jutte, rather subdue the opponent with taijutsu.
戦略‐Senryaku:
This movement stresses the importance of moving into the opponent rather than retreating and
attempting to counter. As the opponent comes in to attack, so should tori. One must have a strong spirit
and advance. This teaches us to be bold in our movement. As uke attacks, so tori counters without
hesitation The paulownia tree has very large heart shaped leaves. We should strive for a bold heart for
this movement.

The opponent has a sword in dai jodan. Take up position with the jutte forward and the body lowered.
The opponent comes in to cut down from dai jodan. Leap by on the right diagonal, slip by the sword; the
palms are the form for leaping in. Then strike to the opponents neck with the jutte using yoko uchi. The
opponent becomes dazed and falls down. Ura: techniques done to the left
Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei, “Essence of Budo” (2011)
Before he cuts, lower the Jutte to point into his eyes. Then as he cuts, leap past him, right to this distance
where you can strike him. If he still hasn't fallen, just thrust him down from here. The opponent cuts.
Leap in. Now take his hand. Applying Gyaku to this arm, knock his other hand to make him drop the
sword. Then capture him.

Rakka 落花 Falling Blossoms
Uke in Dai jodan attacking with jodan kiri. Tori has right foot forward, jutte pointing at uke’s eyes. As uke
cuts, shift slightly to the right avoiding blade, catch the blade with the jutte. Step in while turning the
jutte so that the blade faces up while holding the blade with your left hand, and so that your right elbow
controls his both arms. Right kick to uke’s suzu. Step back, taking the blade with you.
⾻‐Kotsu:
Do not counter until the opponent has committed to an attack. Control the centre line until an opening is
presented to the opponent. Strike into the blade close to the tsuba before attempting to control the
weapon. Close quickly with the opponent to prevent a counter movement.
戦略‐Senryaku:
This movement means ‘Falling Petals’. One should enter and leave this movement as if ‘blown on the
wind’ Tori should not linger inside ukes sphere, rather enter quickly, attack ukes kamae and withdraw
with ukes weapon, before uke has the opportunity to counter attack.

敵は⼀⼑⼤上段。我は⼗⼿⻘眼。腰を落し構える。敵か斬り故込み来る。敵の⼀⼑を受ける。

して、右⾜を敵の下段に蹴り込しで、⼑を逆さおに捕るなり。裏 同じく左技のこと。
The opponent has a sword in dai jodan. Stand with jutte in seigan. The hips are lowered in kamae. The
opponent moves in to cut down. Receive the opponent’s sword. The opponent’s sword will flow down
the side of the jutte, then pivot the body to position facing left, and with the right hand, wrap up the
opponent’s hands. Kick with the right leg into the opponent’s groin; the sword ends up being captured
down the opposite way. Ura: the same thing done to the left.
Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei, “Essence of Budo” (2011)
It is important here to turn the sword over. When taking the sword and tilting it down, hit his jaw with
your elbow. Then cut the opponent's neck. One more. The opponent cuts. Sweep it aside a bit, then turn
over and move in. Get it here. Rotate in with the sword to apply a hold on the opponent. This is painful.
Get his leg and then fold his body. Then control.

⾻‐Kotsu:
Good use of hichojutsu will aid in entering for the strike to kote. Ensure uke is unable to use the sword
before entering into ukes space. Leaping forward, strike into gorin with the jutte, knocking uke back‐
wards. Zanshin is important to ensure the blade does not strike you as uke falls away. Ideally, uke should
have dropped the weapon after being struck to kote.
戦略‐Senryaku:
Unlike the other jutte movements, this movement does not advance and then retreat. This movement
teaches us the importance of advancing ‘through’ your opponent to defeat him. Once the counter
movement is initiated, tori moves forward and through the opponent.

The opponent is in dai jodan. Have the jutte forward, in seigan no kamae. Against the opponents
downward cut, open up the body to the right, then strike down with the jutte into the wrist of the
opponent’s arm as it flows by. This is leaping in striking in with the jutte. ura; the same thing done to the
left.

Mizu Tori ⽔⿃ Water Bird
Uke is in Dai jodan, attacking with jodan kiri. Tori is in Shizen, step back with your right foot, bringing the
jutte up to strike the side of his blade (about six inches from the point). Move the jutte upward to catch
uke’s sword in the thumb. Place your left hand at the top of the jutte as you step in with the left leg,
pushing the blade down and to your left. Pull, using your left hand, the handle of the sword from uke’s
hands, stepping back with your left foot as you strike uke’s neck with the jutte.
⾻‐Kotsu:
Wait until uke is committed to his attack before avoiding it. Don’t strike the blade so hard that the sword
is knocked away. Once the sword is caught with the kage, grip the jutte with both hands to slide it down
the sword to the tsuba. Enter with the elbows, pressing down onto ukes arms to break posture. Hook the
fingers of the left hand behind the tsuba and both pull the sword and strike down into uke with the jutte.
戦略‐Senryaku:
This movement teaches us the importance of swift footwork. One should enter into uke as though a bird
treading on marsh reeds. To enter to strongly may unbalance tori as well as uke. Just enough force need
be applied to break ukes posture and escape with the weapon.

相⼿⽅は⼀⼑⼤上段。左⾜にて前進。右⼿の⼗⼿は後ろに。腰を落とし、位取りす。この姿勢

The opponent has a sword in dai jodan. Move forward with the left leg. The right‐hand has the jutte to
the rear. Lower the hips, take up position. This posture is like a bird diving into the water. Next the
opponent comes in to cut down with the sword. Leap one step forward, strike into the solar plexus with
the jutte, from the legless apparitions. At that point the right leg kneels, this becomes a posture with the
left leg up, and this is the playful form of chinyufudo, the unwavering courage in diving. Ura; the same
thing done to the left. Grasp the wisdom of Ten Chi Jin.
Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei, “Essence of Budo” (2011)
The opponent comes with a cut. Parrying and entering with the Jutte, take hold of his arm. This is very
important. Then holding down with the arm and pushing with the body, grab the hilt here. When you
grab it, get his hand as well. Freeing and sweeping away with the Jutte, take the sword. Once more. Strike
and come in like this. Take hold here. Apply a Gyaku to the opponent. At the same time, move in here.
Then take out his hand.

Mawari Dori 廻捕 Spinning Capture
Uke assumes dai jodan no kamae and strikes ten chi giri. Tori assumes ichi no kamae and avoids the strike
moving forward and right. Capture blade with jutte and, controlling ukes elbows, rotate the blade and
step under ukes arms. Kick out at butsumetsu with sokuyaku geri and capture ukes blade.
⾻‐Kotsu:
Avoid ukes strike using taihenjutsu. Do not try to capture blade. Strike at the blade and ‘scoop’ the sword
into the kage. Enter into Uke, applying muso dori, controlling the sword and ukes arms. Rotate the jutte
anti clockwise, stepping under and through ukes attack. As ukes balance come down, kick up into
butsumetsu. Capture ukes sword at the tsuba.
戦略‐Senryaku:
This movement means ‘turning capture’. It stresses the importance of controlling uke completely before
attempting to enter under ukes arm. Rather than ducking under uke...move uke to a position that tori can
easily step through. By turning under ukes attack we are able to manipulate uke into a position that will
allow a strong counter attack.

Against the opponents cut down from dai jodan use the right hand to receive, then make contact with
the hadome of the blade, or drop the body in underneath that and turn to evade. Kick into the opponents
groin with the right leg and knock the blade down (out of his hands), this is toriosaeru. On a broader scale
this isshikietari jupposessho. Ura; the same thing done to the left
