It is an offensive stance, named for one's ability to respond to a situation in any direction. "Waki" and "hassō" are not commonly used in modern kendo, except in kata.

In "hassō-no-kamae", the left foot is forward, and the sword is held pointing upright with the hilt in front of the right shoulder. The blade should slope slightly to the rear. When cutting, the sword is raised above the head, as in "jōdan". [上野 靖之 (1966) "剣道教典 (Educational Model Fencing)" 尚武館刊. p317]

"Hassō-no-kamae" is used by uchidachi in the 4th kendo kata, opposite shidachi's "waki-gamae". [cite book

"Hassō" is called Nihongo|"in-no-kamae"|院の構え|shadow stance in Ittō-ryū, Nihongo|"hassō"|八相 in Shinkage-ryū, and occasionally Nihongo|"moku-no-kamae"|木の構え|stance of wood, because of the stance's resemblance to a tree. [上野 靖之 (1966) "剣道教典 (Educational Model Fencing)" 尚武館刊. p317]
