Nage no Kata

Nage no Kata is the first of the two Randori no Kata. Its fifteen techniques

are given in Table I on page 145.

To begin the kata, you (tori) and your partner (uke) stand facing each

other at a distance of about 5.5 meters. (Fig. 1) You should be on the right as

seen from the joseki. Both turn toward the joseki and perform a standing

bow, then turn and face each other and do a kneeling bow. (Figs. 2-3) (The

meaning of joseki is "seat of honor." This side of the dojo is also designated

as shomen, "front.")

HAND TECHNIQUES

Uki-otoshi

4. Afler standing and kneeling bows, you and your

partner move toward each other with ayumi ashi

until you are about 60 centimeters apart.

5. After a briefpause, your partner steps lorward

with his right foot and you step back with your 1e11,

both taking migi shizentai. As you do so, take each

othdr's judogi in the basic hold.

6. Pull to break your partner's balance to the front.

7-12. When he advances his right foot to keep his

balance, step back again with your left foot and pull

him forward. (Here and elsewhere in the kata you

move by tsugi ashi.) Again he brings his right foot

forward (Move 1). Take a third step backward with

your left foot. He again advances his right foot

(Move 2). Suddenly withdraw your left foot to

break his balance to the front, drop onto your left

knee, and throw him by pulling with your hands.

When you drop to your knee, the best position is

when you form a 30-45-degree angle with a line

bisecting your partner's right foot.

Next, stand and face each other and do a left uki

otoshi. Do right and left forms for each ol the

frfteen techniques in this kata.
