NHC Nage-no-kata and Katame-no-kata course – 12 Apr 26 – Wokingham

The aim of this course is to introduce players to Nage-no-kata and Katame-no-kata.
Nage-no-kata is one of the two randori-no-kata free practice forms of Kodokan Judo. It is intended as an illustration of the various concepts of nage-waza (throwing techniques) that exist in judo. The kata is composed of 3 techniques each from the five classifications of throws in judo. Each of these 15 techniques is performed twice in the specified order, both right and left handed.

• Te-waza (hand techniques)
• Koshi-waza (hip techniques)
• Ashi-waza (foot techniques)
• Ma-sutemi-waza (rear sacrifice techniques)
• Yoko-sutemi-waza (side sacrifice techniques)

Katame no Kata was developed at the Kodokan between 1884 and 1887 following the development of the Nage no Kata. It is composed of three groups of grappling techniques each with five representative techniques. Katame-no-kata consists of 15 techniques, grouped in three categories:

• Osaekomi-waza (holding or pinning techniques)
• Shime-waza (strangulation techniques)
• Kansetsu-waza (Joint techniques (locks)
