feeling Judo and Aikido. You should understand it as a body
which receives and remains standing, a Ukemi of self
protection. In other words, it is possible to grasp the true
nature of Ukemi. Ukemi are self defence. It is important to
purse the essence of Ukemi by examining the natural form of
true combat, where self protection includes both evasive
counters and methods of attack. Kuhen no kata is a name for
an infinite, natural form, and could probably be called
natural Ukemi taihen jutsu for the sake of survival.

true Taijutsu. This is the secret of Bu. Realise the natural
movement. Become Ku yourself.
To successfully use the strategies of Heaven, Earth, and
mankind (Tenchijin), the Ninja must become one with all
things in the Universe, and embody the spirit of the

flowers, and the Bamboo. You must know when to bend with the
wind, and know their is no need too bend when their is no
wind. You must be able to become the void itself, in order
to master the secrets of using the scheme of totality, to
accomplish your will.
If you ask if their is truly such a thing as the fundamental
techniques of Ninjutsu, we will say No. If you ask if you
are practising the fundamentals correctly, we will tell you
their is no right, and no wrong way. These moves which we
call fundamental sare only a means
for the attainment of
the natural ever appropriate responsive movement that comes
with personal enlightenment.
