Jumonji no Kamae (ג'ומונג'י) is a Kamae and a Gyokko Ryu kata that involves a low level of violence and short distancing.
Description of Jumonji stance
Both arms are crossed at the wrists to protect the body during advancing attacks. The elbows cover the rib cage and the fists cover the neck and face. The body weight is maintained with a slightly forward balance and the feet push the body solidly in the attacking direction. The basic foot alignment is a natural, shoulder width, stance but the Jumonji can be combined with any leg alignment. Hand variation is either slightly extending the thumbs or folding the hands together.
