13l Katame no Kata
Katame no Kata, the second of the Randori no Kata, is made up of three
sets of techniques: osae-komi-waza, shime-weiza and kansetsu-w aza. The
five representative techniques in each set are given in Table II on p. 145.
To begin the kata, you, the tori, and your partner, the nage, stand facing
each other at a distance of about 5.5 meters. (FiS. I) You should be on the
right as seen from the joseki. Turn together toward the joseki and do a
standing bow, then face each other and perform a sitting bow. (Figs. 2-4)
Stand and step forward with your left foot into shizentai. (Fig.5) Withdraw
your left foot and kneel on your left knee, instep off the mat. Angle
your right knee toward the right front corner, and place your right hand on
it. Your left hand should hang naturally. This is called l<yoshi, the high
kneeling posture. (FiS. A
Your partner shifts his right foot inward, then advances his right foot and
brings his left knee up behind him. He moves his right knee outward again
to resume the high kneeling posture. (Fis. D This method of moving on one
knee is called shikko.
