Ju-no-kata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ju no Kata)
Ju no Kata (柔の形 Jū-no-kata, "forms of gentleness") is a kata (a set of prearranged forms) in Judo.
It is designed to teach the fundamental principles of judo, especially the principle of ju (yielding or gentleness).[1] It consists in three sets of techniques and is performed by a pair of people one acting as an Uke and the other a Tori. The kata can be performed without wearing a judogi and, as it doesn't envolve the completion of any throws, does not need to be performed in a dojo.
