Nage-no-Kata

Nage-no-Kata Course

Nage-no-Kata “forms of throwing” is one of the two randori-no-kata, free practice forms of  Kodokan Judo. It is intended as an illustration of the various concepts  of nage-waza (throwing techniques) that exist in judo, and is used both as a training method and as a demonstration of understanding.

Our USJF Kata Committee has developed a “Distance Learning” course for Nage-no-Kata.  This online course can fullfill the Nage-no-Kata requirement for Shodan.

Note: The USJF Board of Directors has approved this course to fulfill the kata requirement for Shodan. However, it is at the discretion of your local Yudanshakai to determine whether this course can be substituted for the kata requirement for Shodan rank.

The Nage-no-Kata course is presented in five modules.  The 1st set: Te-waza, 2nd set: Koshi-waza, 3rd set: Ashi-waza, 4th set: Ma-sutemi-waza and the 5th set: Yoko-sutemi-waza.  After each module a quiz is presented.  The passing score is 90%.  You have the ability to retake the test
