Both positions are beginner-friendly and provide a sense of safety, but their extended blades limit offensive capabilities and can make practitioners vulnerable to binds and displacements. Most <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kenjutsuka" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kenjutsuka</span></a> use Chûdan while standing still and Seigan while moving.</p>
