English version at bottom.
"El Kamae en las artes marciales, implica la actitud de guardia a partir de la cual una persona enfrenta una determinada situación.
En Aikido, se usa el Kamae con una mano arriba y la otra abajo, pero en lo que hace a la actitud que subyace detrás del Kamae, es el enfoque en el cual uno esta espiritualmente centrado y sereno, alerta frente a la situación.
Entonces, puede hablarse de un Kamae natural, que en Aikido es la posición Shizentai o postura natural, estando de pie. Pero como siempre se dice en relación a las técnicas de Aikido, lo interesante radica en ver como se trasladan esos conceptos a la vida cotidiana, fuera del ámbito del Dojo. Entonces uno puede ver si enfrenta las situaciones, los desafíos de la vida le presenta con un Kamae correcto, entendiendo por Kamae no solo la guardia, sino también la postura en todo el sentido que ello implica, internamente, el Kamae es la postura con que uno se enfrenta al mundo y la posición del cuerpo es la expresión externa de esa persona.
La actitud siempre es fundamental ante los conflictos y es común que los japoneses le pregunten a una persona que Kamae tiene con tal o cual asunto. El Kamae está íntimamente relacionado con el Ma-ai, la distancia, factor esencial a la hora del combate, porque Ma-.ai y Kamae interactúan en forma constante.
El Kamae es un elemento espiritual, y el Ma-ai es el “hasta donde se puede ver un determinado problema”.
En cuanto a la mirada, en Aikido se aprende a mirarse a uno mismo pero a la hora de resolver una situación de defensa personal, la cuestión pasa por tener una mirada global, que sin fijarse en ningún punto en particular del rival, permita ver su actitud general, “leyendo” su intención” y el manejo de respiración de ese rival.
Más allá de la técnica, el anticipo a la acción del oponente, pudiendo predecir que movimiento tendrá su Ki es un aspecto central del entrenamiento."
KAMAE
Posture and attitude:
"The Kamae in martial arts, implies the attitude of guard from which a person faces a certain situation.
In Aikido, the Kamae is used with one hand up and the other down, but as far as the attitude underlying the Kamae is concerned, it is the focus in which one is spiritually focused and calm, alert to the situation.
Then, we can speak of a natural Kamae, which in Aikido is the Shizentai position or natural posture, standing. But as it is always said in relation to Aikido techniques, the interesting thing is to see how these concepts are transferred to everyday life, outside the scope of the Dojo.
Then one can see if he faces the situations, the challenges of life presents him with a correct Kamae, understanding by Kamae not only the guard, but also the posture in all the sense that implies, internally, the Kamae is the posture with which one faces the world and the position of the body is the external expression of that person.
The attitude is always fundamental in the face of conflicts and it is common for the Japanese to ask a person that Kamae has with this or that matter. The Kamae is intimately related to Ma-ai, distance, an essential factor at the time of combat because Ma-.ai and Kamae interact constantly.
The Kamae is a spiritual element, and the Ma-ai is the "as far as a certain problem can be seen".
Regarding the look, in Aikido you learn to look at yourself but when solving a situation of self-defense, the question is to have a global view, which without looking at any particular point of the opponent, allows you to see your general attitude, "reading" his intention "and the breathing management of that rival.
Beyond the technique, the advance to the action of the opponent, being able to predict which movement will have its Ki is a central aspect of the training. "
