Перевод: Eight-Phases Stance
Hassō-no-kamae (eight-direction guard) positions the sword vertically beside the right side of the head, with the tsuka at mouth height and the blade pointing upward. [1] This guard radiates threat in all eight directions (hence its name) and is an aggressive posture that facilitates rapid downward and diagonal cuts. [1],[2] Hassō-no-kamae is associated with the element of fire (ka) and is used in kenjutsu to pressure the opponent with the implied threat of explosive cutting from a high position. [2],[3]
Hasso no kamae (eight-direction guard) positions the shinai upright beside the right shoulder, with the tsuba (guard) near mouth level. [1] It is a compact guard used primarily in kendo kata rather than in free sparring (jigeiko), valued for its ability to transition quickly into both cuts and thrusts. [2]
Hassō no kamae holds the sword vertically beside the head, a classical kenjutsu guard that appears in kata but is rarely used in free sparring. [1]
Hassō no kamae is practised in kendo kata but is virtually never used in free kendo competition (shiai). [1]

Hasso no kamae is a classical Japanese sword stance appearing in historical Shinkagekyu documentation, particularly the Yagyu Shinkagekyu manuscript tradition dating to approximately 1600, with illustrated descriptions circa 1700. According to Antony Cummins, the stance positions the sword roughly at mid-height near the head, though Cummins presents a nuanced historiographic analysis noting discrepancies between textual descriptions and pictorial representations in original scrolls, suggesting possible hand variations or left-sided (hidaritachi) positioning in certain lineage transmissions. Cummins cites evidence from kata descriptions indicating hasso no kamae functions as both an offensive posture from which to strike downward and a defensive position into which one retreats when threatened by overhead attacks from an opponent also in hasso. He theorizes the stance may involve rhythmic footwork and beat-based exchanges rather than purely static positioning, drawing parallels to competitive fencing exchanges. The instructors emphasize that hasso no kamae's practical application involves responding to attacks on the sword tip by withdrawing slightly and executing downward cuts, and that the stance relates to broader systematic movement principles documented in classical kenjutsu curricula. Cummins notes historical ambiguity persists regarding whether pictorial representations depict starting positions, ending positions, or intermediate moments within techniques.

You should concentrate on your leg positioning and footwork, keeping your groin protected. The stance teaches body movement and protection principles based on classical armor-based techniques.
You want to be low so you can go high. Like a bird, you cannot lift off if you're standing straight—you need to be in a lowered position to generate upward movement and power.
You need to build the muscles in your supporting leg so you can support your entire body weight without popping your knee out. Bend that knee as much as possible and be careful with your leg strength development.
When an opponent comes in and you move while in the stance, a small deflection using both your leg and arm can open up your opponent's center, creating an opportunity to strike.

Hassō-no-kamae is one of the five traditional kamae in Japanese kenjutsu, described in numerous koryū manuscripts and in Musashi's Book of Five Rings as the fire guard. It is practised in both koryū kata and in the Nihon Kendō Kata of the AJKF.

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Assume Guard (Kamae/Hut) → Measure Distance (Ma-ai) → Initiate Cut/Thrust → Follow Through (Zanshin).
Стандартные контрприёмы: Parry (Absetzen) — deflect the incoming blade with a counter-displacement / Void (Step Back) — withdraw from measure to avoid the cutting arc / Counter-Cut (Nachreisen) — strike into the opponent's opening during their attack.
Распространённые варианты: Standard cut (primary cutting angle from the ready stance); Thrust (tsuki) (straight thrust targeting the throat, chest, or face); Rising cut (kiri-age) (upward diagonal cut from low to high); Diagonal cut (kesa-giri) (downward diagonal cut following the kimono line).
Hassō no kamae is practised in kendo kata but is virtually never used in free kendo competition (shiai).
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Holding the sword too far from the body — the sword in Hasso should be close to the right shoulder for compact readiness / Facing the blade away from the opponent — the cutting edge must face forward for quick deployment / Holding Hasso with the sword tilted — the blade should be vertical or near-vertical / Using Hasso in modern kendo competition — it is primarily a classical technique; understand the context.
Hasso No Kamae также известен как Hasso, Eight-Phase Stance, Side Guard.
