The Dynamic Nature of Kata an Interview with Steven R
The Dynamic Nature of Kata An Interview with Steven R. Cunningham 6th Dan, Kodokan Judo 7th Dan, Takagi Ryu Jujutsu 6th Dan, Mugen Ryu Karate by Linda Yiannakis 3rd Dan, USJA © 1998 Linda Yiannakis All Rights Reserved Steve Cunningham is a respected authority on martial arts and on Classical Judo in particular. Cunningham began his study of Judo at the age of 6 with Taizo Sone, who was a direct student of Jigoro Kano and uchideshi to Hidekazu Nagaoka (10th dan). Cunningham was trained in all aspects of traditional Judo and was uke and uchideshi to Sone Sensei. He is well versed in Japanese history, philosophy, language and culture, and is an expert with the sword and jo as well as other battlefield weapons. Cunningham Sensei teaches Classical Judo and Takagi-Ryu Jujutsu at Ju Nan Shin Martial Arts Academy in Manchester, Connecticut. The Kodokan today recognizes a number of official kata. What are the origins of each of these kata and what does each contribute to the complete syllabus of Judo? How many kata there are depends on how you count. The first two kata that are typically taught and learned are the so-called Randori no Kata. These are Nage no Kata and Katame no Kata. Nage no Kata is the Form of Throwing, and Katame no Kata is the Form of Grappling. The kata are not specifically kata to teach you how to do randori, but rather they are kata made up of techniques that are also used in randori. The old Kodokan used to differentiate between randori waza and goshin waza. -
Kodomo-No-Kata – Forms for Children Llŷr Jones July 2020
Issue No. 45 Kodomo-no-kata – Forms for Children Llŷr Jones July 2020 Introduction Contents Kodomo means “child/children” in Japanese, so the literal translation of Kodomo- • Kodomo-no-kata – Forms for Chil- no-kata 子どもの形 is “Forms for children”. The exercise has been created as the dren by Llyr̂ Jones result of a concentrated and cooperative effort by the Kodokan Judo Institute, the • Yukichi Fukuzawa (1835–1901) by International Judo Federation (IJF) and the French Judo Federation to help children Brian Watson; learn the basics of judo in a safe and progressive manner. Kodomo-no-kata sys- • The Essence of Judo: Turning Nega- temises what children should learn first when they begin practicing judo and one of tives into Positives by Brian Watson; the specific motivations behind its creation was to provide a tool for judo teachers working in countries where there are very few experienced instructors [1]. • The Richard Bowen Collection. In This Edition This edition of “The Bulletin” features an article on the new children’s kata – Kodomo-no-kata by Llyr̂ Jones; one on the Japanese author, educator, and pub- lisher, Yukichi Fukuzawa by Brian Wat- son; and one reflecting on the essence of judo and turning negatives into positives, again by Brian Watson. Thank you both. Publisher’s Comments As this issue of “The Bulletin” (produced by guest editor Llyr̂ Jones) is published, the Covid-19 public health crisis contin- ues to upend all aspects of our lives. It has brought a major hiatus to the physi- cal practice of judo in almost every coun- try in the world and even when re- strictions start to be eased, a return to how practice was at the start of 2020 is undoubtedly still some way off. -
Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim Stands Where He Has Stood for Over Fifty Years, in Front of a Group of Students Patiently Explaining the Subtleties of a Judo Technique
Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim: Life & Legacy by Christopher Moore, 2014 (updated in 2021) “My Family grew rice on our farm in Korea. When the rice plants were young, they grew straight and tall. As they grew older and became heavy with rice, their heads bowed.” Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim, 10th Degree Black Belt I was born in Korea in 1935. I grew up in a small town near Daejeon. My first exposure to Judo came from my older brother. He showed me some techniques in the backyard. When I entered high school, I started to seriously train myself. Judo became my life. Through Judo I was able to go to college at the Yudo College which was later renamed Yong-In University. After I won the National Championships for the second time, I became well known throughout Korea. I had the honor of teaching many members of the US military including some officers. I was invited to tour the United States teaching Judo. After visiting the United States, I decided I wanted to stay here. It was through Judo I was able to do this. I settled in Pittsburgh, PA and opened my dojo. Today I have two dojos and also teach an accredited course at the University of Pittsburgh. I have had the honor of teaching thousands of people including several national champions and the current president of the USJA. I even coached the US Team. Judo is quite literally my life. It brought me to this country. It is how I make a living. It is how I raised my family. -

Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook
Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook North Port, Florida Shihan Earl DelValle HISTORY OF JU-JITSU AND NOKIDO JU-JITSU Ju-Jitsu (Japanese: 柔術), is a Japanese Martial Art and a method of self defense. The word Ju- Jitsu is often spelled as Jujutsu, Jujitsu, Jiu-jutsu or Jiu-jitsu. "Jū" can be translated to mean "gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jitsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than directly opposing it. Ju-Jitsu was developed among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and unarmed opponent in which one uses no weapon. There are many styles (ryu) and variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches, but you will find that the different styles have similar, if not the same techniques incorporated into their particular style. Ju-Jitsu schools (ryū) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, restraining, joint locks, and hold downs, disengagements, escaping, blocking, striking, and kicking). Japanese Ju-Jitsu grew during the Feudal era of Japan and was expanded by the Samurai Warriors. The first written record of Ju-Jitsu was in 1532 by Hisamori Takeuchi. Takenouchi Ryu Ju-Jitsu is the oldest style of Ju-jitsu and is still practiced in Japan. There are hundreds of different Ju-Jitsu styles that have been documented and are practiced today, one of which is our modern style of Ju-Jitsu, Nokido Ju-Jitsu. Ju-Jitsu is said to be the father of all Japanese Martial Arts. -

Nage No Kata in the Current Competitive Judo
STUDIA UBB EDUCATIO ARTIS GYMN., LIX, 3, 2014, pp. 79 - 84 (RECOMMENDED CITATION) NAGE NO KATA IN THE CURRENT COMPETITIVE JUDO ION-PETRE BARBOŞ1 ABSTRACT. In the context of current judo coaches focus on exceptional tactical and physical training, but omit one of the main aspects in full and complete fighting techniques, namely Kata. Approaching strictly shiai techniques has many negative results. From small or large accidents to abandon sports activity, capping being the main cause. In recent years Japanese judo school has addressed Kata with great seriousness as a form of technical training. Taking the example of Kodokan Judo, federations around the world have begun to pay increasingly higher importance to Kata, which led to organizing national, continental and world championships. In Romania, Kata is practiced at a high level also. Our athletes, couple Surlă and Fleis, trained by the reputed professor Alexandru Chirila (5 Dan) won all European and World Championship titles in the last six years. Sports Club "University Dinamo Cluj" coach - assist. univ. dr. Barboş Ion Petre (2 Dan) has achieved remarkable results in the past three years (2010-2013) at the national level, with over 10 medals (gold, silver and bronze) won by athletes at Nage no Kata, Katame no Kata, Ju no Kata, Kodokan Goshin Jutsu. This article attemps to highlight the overwhelming importance of addressing Kata judo in training juniors, seniors and veterans judo athletes. Keywords: Judo shiai, kata, Nage no Kata, kyu, Shisei, shizentai, jigotai, Ma ai, Kodokan Judo Kata Kum, Kasumi, Mae-Mawar-sabaki REZUMAT. Kata în Judo competiţional actual. În contextul judo-ului actual antrenorii pun accent pe pregătirea tactică şi fizică de excepţie, dar omit unul dintre principalele aspecte ale realizării depline şi complete a unei tehnici de luptă, şi anume, Kata.
