It is extremely valuable to use your bone structure to support your Ninpo taijutsu (unarmed fighting). The basic Kamae (Body/mind position) for Ninpo taijutsu is called shizen no kamae (natural posture). In this position body’s bone structure is self-supportive, and the breathing is flowing in a natural way, your mind will be open relaxed. From this position, you can move in all directions freely and react to danger from all sides. Look to move in a natural way so when danger is near your body you can flow to a safe position.
