Hira ichimonji no kamae (הירה איצ'ימונג'י נו קמאה) is mainly an armor stance used against weapon attacks and as a psychological seal.
Description of Hira ichimonji no kamae
In this posture, both legs are holding the body's weight equally. The legs are posted wide, as if riding a big animal, knee pressure is to the outside, as the knees should be planted solidly in the ground. Both hands are wide open, leaving the chest exposed and presenting a big target on purpose. This pose is calling for an attack from the enemy, usually starting a sequence by inviting the enemy to attack quickly to the center. This posture is a trap and a projection of fighting spirit.
