Foreword
A Judo Kata is a formal demonstration of prearranged techniques. To learn Kata well is important for progress, and it is a necessary qualificaton for receiving many grades of the British Judo Association, which is the official Olympic controlling body for this country. Its grades are the
The two most important Kata, from the point of view of Judo as a sport, are: Nage-no-kata (Demonstration of Throws) and Katame-no-kata (Demosntratons of Holds). These Katas have a long history, but they were standardized in Japan in 1960, and in this book the text of the new standard version is given first, illustrated with line drawings. Unnecessary detail has been deliberately excluded from these drawings (for which I am grateful to Mr. T. Broadbent, 1st Dan) in order to make the outline of the technique stand out clearly.
The strip pictures should then be studied along with the notes. For the demonstrations I am indebted to Mr. Dennis Bloss (4th Dan) and Mr. J. B. Newman (4th Dan) both of whom trained under famous treachers in Japan, and also to Mr. K. Watanabe (5th Dan). Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Newman are teachers at the Rensuden Club, where Mr. Bloss also is an active member, and all have helped me with suggestions.
The pictures were taken with a new Japanese camera designed to analyse movement; a clearer image is in general obtained than from a cine film.-The Author, Renshuden Judo Club
