Ju no Kata

The movements in these forms are, as the name suggests, gentle. The

exercises are designed to train one how to manage the body in an emergency

and how to employ one's strength most effectively. Because their

practice serves to condition the body and teach the concept ofju they are

recommended to beginners. There are three sets, each of five techniques.

Itsutsu no Kata

The five techniques in this kata are known only by number. The first two

resemble jujutsu techniques, but the appearance of the other three, while

intriguing, is unlike anything seen in jujutsu. The graceful movements are

evocative of the motion of water, the heavenly bodies and other natural

forces. The kata is considered unfinished.

Koshiki no Kata

Also known as the Kito-ryu no Kata, the twenty-one techniques in this

kata were originally the Kito School's forms of throwing. I revised and

incorporated them into Kodokan Judo. The techniques are of a high order

and highly refined, and their practice brings insight into judo theory. The

kata has two parts.
