Kamae is not a rigid posture; there are many Henka in Kamae too. For example, when I did the Juji, I actually made combination of Shizentai and Juji. There is also the spirit attach to it, there is a lot in the Kamae in addition to the mere posture. One should look also if the Kamae that is preformed by someone is suitable for him and protect him generally according to his own level or specifically against a certain opponent.

In regard to the white belt; When Gunnel from Sweden 2Dan at the time, came to visit my Dojo, I only had a spare white belt to give her, and this video was made without preparations and planning, just to exemplify the nice cooperation between members of the Bujinkan from all over the world.
