Kime-no-Kata (English ver.)

Soon after establishing the Kodokan Judo, Kano Jigoro Shihan created Kata for serious combative fight consisted of 10 techniques which had the same objectives as Kata from a number of traditional Japanese Jujutsu schools and named it Shobu-no-Kata. Improving the techniques later, he increased the total of techniques to 14 or 15.
After further studying Jujutsu and adding his new ideas Kano Jigoro Shihan submitted the draft of Kata consisted of 20 techniques, 8 Idori and 12 Tachiai for the meeting of Grater Japan Martial Virtue Society to discuss on the establishment of Kata in 1906. As the result of the discussion in the meeting, today's Kime-no-Kata was established.
Since Kime-no-Kata was created to acquire the most effective techniques for the serious combative fight, the importance of practice in this Kata is to master agile Tai-sabaki movement and the most effective way to control the opponent.
