My sensei required us to learn the nage no kata at the sankyu level and the katame no kata at the iikyu level. It did nothing but improve my judo ability.arnisador said:Kata every class! That's almost unheard of in American Judo.
Same here! Learning the kata was one of the most valuable tools I have ever been exposed to. My Judo effectiveness increased dramatically as a result. I would guess that if more Judoka learned at least the Nage no Kata and Katame no kata, the level of Judo would go up considerably! Too bad that they have basically been abandoned in favor of just randori. One without the other makes for a very one-dimensional Judoka.Patrick Skerry said:My sensei required us to learn the nage no kata at the sankyu level and the katame no kata at the iikyu level.

Yes, absolutely! For example, from my research, the national French judo team, and judo instruction in general in France, emphasized the Kaeshi No Kata (form of counters) or sometimes called the Gonosen No Kata, in all their judo training from beginning to end. And since France now has ten Olympic gold medals in judo compared to America's none, I would think that American judo coaches would have noticed this correlation by now?Robert Carver said:Same here!
