Kyu Shin Kan Judo Club

Koshiki No Kata
The Koshiki-no-Kata preserves the kata of the Kito-Ryu of Jujutsu which Jigoro Kano studied before founding Kodokan Judo.
The Koshiki-no-Kata is based on the throwing techniques executed by armour-clad warriors on the battle field. The first set, Omote, comprises fourteen forms and should be executed at a rather slow and staccato pace, with the pauses between each throw well marked. The second set, Ura, comprises seven forms and should be executed more rapidly and without wasted time.
