Kamae Query

[ScottUK]

Now, I love to learn about all the different styles of JSA out there, but this one has me puzzled.

Does anyone recognise which ryuha this is from? What about the bunkai? Or even what the practitioner is thinking at this moment?

[hyuna]

Hmm. I think I've used that one when reading the graffiti on the bathroom stall.

[ben]

Bunkai: ware shows mild surprise at the final position of the saya, but covers by adopting jaunty pose.

This ryu originated at Eton, and developed from the traditional spectators position for watching the Eton Wall Game. Subsequently was exported to the New World where is has taken root. The original uniform of tailcoat and white tie with academic gown has been amalgamated into an elegant black pyjama.

"Where can I buy more patches? Hmmm. Crap. I'm out of toilet paper. Luckily I have this sword tucked under my arm, and can fashion some by slicing a few strips off my gi. I'll have to cut around the patches though."

Wow, whole nother level, not just the 'international' martial arts hall of fame, but the 'universal martial arts hall of fame' Perhaps the first inductee from the milkyway galaxy.

[ghostdancer]

so is that a hammer handle between his feet or is he sitting on a shooting stick as part of his jaunty pose

or possibly thats just unusual place to put a saya

or pehaps "if i pose like this prehaps no one will realise ive just sliced into my hip cos that blade was fecking sharp"

or Don't just stand there, let's get to it, Strike a pose, there's nothing to it VOGUE (apologies to madonna)

[tango]

really wish he didn't have an american flag patch anywhere near his uniform..

[Jason Anstey]

I think it is representative of Zoolander Ryu and the kamae is called Steel Poo

- notice the vertical thing between the hakama legs?

[DCPan]

Must...inhale...can't stop laughing...tears...eye....*gasp for breath*....

[JSchmidt]

"Hmm, I seem to have a sword stuck in my side"

[tango]

Just noticed the "steel poo" thing ...
just what kind of ninjer does he think he is? he needs the help of a chair to hold a simple t-stance long enough for the the picture to be snapped? c'mon man.... really?

ninjer wannabe, ninjer nevergonnabe.

[1stdan]

I think the "Steel Poo" is actually a leg from the "stool" hes siting on.
