Kime-no-kata
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Kime no kata is a self-defense oriented series of katas in judo. Kime no kata, also known as Shinken Shobu no Kata (approximate translation is Fight Until Death Combat Forms), was developed at the Kodokan around 1888. The series is composed of 8 techniques from a kneeling posture (idori waza), and 12 techniques from a standing position (tachi waza). Both sets of techniques contain defenses for both armed and empty-handed attacks.
