Kata Development & Certification Subcommittee Kata Development & Certification Subcommittee – Eiko Shepherd Re: Kata Committee Report from May 31, 2002 through October 6, 2002 Due to my work schedule, I will not be able to attend the 2002 US Open, USJF meeting. Since the meeting at the Senior National Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio, the Kata Development and Certification Committee was very busy promoting the kata program. The following are reports received since the April meeting. From the 50th State Judo Association (Reported by George Tsubota) March 22, 2002. I was asked to teach Goshijutsu to Kona Honganji Judo Club, which is located on the Island of Hawaii. It was a two day clinic with 7 people for the first day and 6 people on the second day. Clint Tsubota assisted me in the two day clinic. It was really good to see the old timers practicing their kata. May 5, 2002. The 50th State Judo Association monthly tournament, included kata competition for Bantam Division: 6 years to 9 years old, Hodokan 1st place. Jr. Division: 10 years to 13 years old, Hodokan 1st place. Hodokan 2nd place. Youth Division: 14 years to 18 years Hodokan 1st place. The other clubs did not enter any contestant due to other sports. May 25, 2002. A Nage no Kata and Katame no Kata Clinic was held at Waiakea Judo Club on the Island of Hawaii. 19 Students attended this event with 2 learning Katame no Kata. We went through all 5 sets of Nage no Kata. They were very happy with the clinic. Katame no Kata students could now practice at their own Dojo until the next time we return. Two Ikkyu students passed their shodan requirement of Kata. Daniel Terada and Ernest Miyamasu assisted with the Nage no Kata instruction. Miles Tsubota and George Y. Tsubota taught the Katame no Kata. From Eiko Shepherd (USJF Kata Chair) June 10,11 & 12, 2002. – The 2nd Annual USJF National Kata Clinic.

Kata Development & Certification Subcommittee – Eiko Shepherd During the day we practiced Juno Kata, Nage no Kata, Katame no Kata, Kime no Kata and Goshin Jitsu. At the evening we had fee practice from 7 pm to 9 pm. We practiced Koshiki no Kata and Itsutsu no Kata during those evening sessions. Students also used this time to review what they did during the day practice. Though we had a very small turnout, this allowed for private instruction. The instructors have so much knowledge in kata. Participants gained so much this 2nd Annual Kata Conference. We definitely should hold the National Kata Conference again We appreciate the work of David Matsumoto and assistant, Margaret Catt, for making the arrangements on site. July 4, 2002. The Jr. National Nage no Kata and Certification Clinic was held on July 4 at Hyatt Regency in Sacramento, California. The clinic started with registration at 8:30 and morning practice from 9:00am to 12:00 noon. A lunch break was held from 12:00 until 1:00 pm. The afternoon session from 1:00 to 4:00pm was used to review Nage noKata and give the certification tests. Head clinician, Eiko Shepherd taught the advanced, adult students and assistant clinician, Teri Schweitzer taught the junior participants. On the mat both junior and senior participants showed great interest. The clinicians covered the fine details of the Nage no Kata. It seems every year this Kata clinic is drawing more and more interest. One adult participant made a special trip from Idaho just for this clinic. Also, we had several participants from Hawaii and California. The following participants took the certification test: George Tsubota Juno Kata Class A Rocky Lima Katame no Kata Class A Daniel Terada Katame no Kata Class A Sergey Makarenko Nage no Kata Class C The USJF Kata Development Committee would like to thank the attendents for their participation. July 8, 2002. The 2002 Jr. National Kata Championships took place at the Sacramento Convention Center on Sunday, July 8th. At 6:45am the Kata judges and recorders received instruction from the kata Chairperson. The 6th Annual Junior and Youth Kata Championships began at precisely 7:30 am. It was impressive to see the Junior and Youth team’s perform the Nage no Kata! The level of ability was excellent. We hope to add Katame no Kata to the next year’s Kata Championships and Give these young judoka another challenge. June 29,2002. The Kodokan Instructors held a kata clinic in Found du Lac, Wisconsin.
