Postured To Prevail

Physical posture is much more than bodily arrangement. Posture
impacts physical health, mental awareness, and emotional attitude, as
well as martial readiness. Proper posture is essential to securing your
liberty because it is the common thread between mind, body, spirit, and
the body of all your affairs. 

Posture is fundamental to samurai related martial arts but “kamae” is
a comprehensive term that includes the physical body, relationships to
potential opponents or environmental threats, in addition to the tools
and resources at your disposal.  

Prevailing in conflict, or avoiding it in the first place, requires
embodying a resilient posture and being well practiced with tactical
breathing techniques is the best way to release stress, eliminate
tension from the body, and elevate your situational awareness; so you
can achieve optimal performance.  

Posture, in combination with deep abdominal breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state.
