2. While facing the joseki, do a standing bow.
3-5. Face each other again and sit. The uke lays his weapons on the mat to
his right, parallel to his legs. The dagger should be on the inside, the end of
the hilt in line with the sword guard, and the blades olboth should be toward
him. Bow to each other.
6-7. The uke then picks up his weapons with his right hand and stands.
8-11. He turns around, walks about 1.8 meters, sits, and holds the weapons
vertically in front ofhim, the blades toward him. Placing his left hand on the
sword, he lays the weapons on the mat. Again, the dagger should be on the
inside and the blades of both toward him. Both hilts should be toward the
joseki.
12-13. You and the uke stand, then the uke returns to his former position
facing you.
14-17. Take a step forward together, beginning with your left foot, and stand
in the basic natural posture. Now move to within about 90 centimeters of
each other, stop, and sit. Advance to within two hst-widths of each other (the
hiza-zume position) by placing your frsts on the mat and pulling yourselves
forward.
The twenty techniques of Kime no Kata are given in Table III on p.146.
To begin the kata, you and your partner stand facing each other about 5.4
meters apart. You are on the right as seen from the joseki. Your partner
holds a sword and a dagger in his right hand, the sword on the outside, the
blades of both upward. The tip of the dagger's hilt should be in line with the
sword guard. (FiS. 1)
