Katame no kata - Form of control |
 |
 |
The Katame no kata was designed from 1884 to 1887 by Jigoro Kano as the second traditional kata of the of Kodokan and belongs to the Randori kata. |
It consists out of three groups of five ground techniques: Osae komi waza, Jime waza and Kansetzu waza. The 15 techniques are executed on one side only, migi. At the BDJJ e.V. this kata is in a slightly different form for the examination for the 2 Dan required.
- Tori uses a pinning technique to control UKE after taking the technique UKE tries by utilizing Tori's motions to revoke, with three consecutive liberation attempts, the control of Tori. During this, the defensive behavior of UKE runs so strong that it seems credible.
- Tori uses a choking technique to force UKE to give up. Uke's rescue attempt (only one) is to loosen the choking with both hands; UKE symbolizes his task by tapping the foot.
- Applying the arm locking techniques, UKE takes ultimately no more rescue attempt, because these techniques are immediately successful after approach.
This is not a guide to learning the "Katame no kata", but it gives the practitioner only a help. To correctly learn the kata, it is essential to follow the instructions of a trainer (master).
