Meaning of “Kuraizeme”

April 01, 2010  |   Posted by : Admin  |   Kendo, Training   |   0 Comment»

From the Niten Ichi Ryu Musashi Kai Kendo Kata guide they talk about kurai zemi, with the following definition:

“To menace one’s opponent into a disadvantageous position through physical and mental intimidation without actually striking at an opponent.”

位攻め is the kanji used in the original Japanese. This might help you understand the “kurai” part.

You can see it used by the Uchitachi in kata’s #10-13 from the PDF Nito Kata Quick Guide
