Koshiki-no-kata Zane & Neisha NZL2023 6dan Judo kata
This kata is a study of Battlefield (in Armour) techniques of attack and defence.
Koshiki no Kata (古式の形, Koshiki-no-kata, Form of the antique things) is a kata (a set of prearranged techniques) in Judo. It is also known as Kito-ryu no Kata (起倒流の形). It consists of 21 techniques originally belonging to the Takenaka-ha Kito School of jujutsu.
Jigoro Kano revised the techniques and incorporated them into a kata in order to preserve the historical source of judo. The set of forms is antique and were intended for "Kumiuchi", the grappling of armored warriors in the feudal ages. As such, the kata is to be performed with both partners imagining that they are clad in armour.
The Koshiki-no-kata, together with Nage-no-kata, Katame-no-kata, Ju-no-kata, Kime-no-kata and Goshin-Jitsu, is recognised by the International Judo Federation (IJF.)
Although koshiki-no-kata is not often seen in the United States, it is still taught and practiced in Japan. Some striking demonstrations of it from the 1950s can be seen in the film "Classic Judo Kata," by Harold Sharp. If the description of the kata in that film is correct, it would be the only judo kata that involves attacking the cervical spine.

Impressive. I am fortunate and privileged to have been taught kata by both Sensei Zane and Sensei Neisha. Through their teachings, insights and wisdom, I now have a far greater understanding and appreciation of Kata.

[@JudoLife]

Well said!

[@Maskenken]

What am I watching?

[@JudoLife]

Judo high level (6 dan) graduation kata. Are you awake? Its anachronistic

[@Maskenken]

Usually kabuki has more facial expression@@JudoLife

[@JudoLife]

poker face is usual in kata except for kiai, and they were probably anxious to present it well

[@enriquecoellocardenas5315]

Sensei spinks, you should record with sensei neisha, how she recorded teaching armlocks, other types of techniques such as hadaka jime, katas or throws

[@akiology312]

Amazing Zane San!

[@locobass]

What is this ????

[@JudoLife]

😂

[@totallynotajay5443]

I don't know how to feel about this demo. It has a lot of good aspects, but uke is minimizing the amount of mistakes that can be made by pausing and allowing tori to do their thing. Obviously this is ok for demonstration but it isn't uncommon for this practice to also be present in normal kata training. Also the ura was choppy.

[@JudoLife]

Thank you for your comment. Do obviously you feel some minor resistance can be incorporated, is expected/allowed? The judoka were only really working off video.

[@totallynotajay5443]

@@JudoLife It truly depends who you ask. And also why one does kata. If it's simply to become promoted or compete then this is okay I guess. But the real value in it comes when uke full heartedly begins to try to throw or attack tori (start of slow obviously, like french randori), how tori should shift his weight, why he holds specific parts of the body, and other things become more obvious and it becomes more clear why Kano shihan found it so important. Here is a good demo by someone in kito ryukzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Xdq3lqr86obJosi=wZl3iVI0zFHO3rr9 Here is a short clip by a 10th dan in Judo kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3i5pH-fmpmCfdEsi=SUX0ZjjAhwp2aaeN
