Nage No Kata

Nage No Kata is a set form of highly formalised throwing techniques. It consists of five sets of three throws. Each throw is performed both left and right side, and is performed by both members taking part.

The kata begins by both jitsuka rei-ing onto the tatami. Each jitsuka then makes his (or her) way to the square area set out for the kata. Each then rei's into the square and takes a step in. The jitsuka then rei to the examiner and then to each other. Both take a sliding step forwards and then the designated jitsuka 'slides' across to 'collect' the other jitsuka. The two jitsuka pause briefly and then take each other in a right judo grip. The two jitsuka then work through both the right and left sided throws, working in embu. Finally the jitsuka 'slide to their respective corners and rei to each other. They then rei to the instructor, and then out of the square. It may then be necessary to rei off the tatami.
