Introduction
Katame-no-Kata was established, along with Nage-no-Kata , around 1885 to1886, in the early days after the founding of the Kodokan . It says that theKata was originally consisted of ten techniques but later expanded to fifteen
techniques.

Katame-no-Kata is composed five representative techniques selected from
Osaekomi-waza , Shime-waza and Kansetsu-waza , and is also called Randorino-Kata together with Nage-no-Kata .
The basic logic and application of the techniques with correct methodsof pinning, countering those pins, strangling and locking joints against an
opponent are acquired by learning this Kata .

At the beginning, Tori and Uke stand upright facing each other in a distanceof about 5.5m (about 3 ken), while Tori stands on the left side and Uke on
the right side toward Shomen . Both turn to Shomen to make standing bows
simultaneously (Photo 1) and turn face each other to make seated bows
(Photo 2). Then, after rising together, both Tori and Uke simultaneously takeone step forward from their left feet to take Shizen-hontai (Photo 3). Bothsimultaneously take one step backward with their left feet, kneel down on
their left knees on the previous spots of their left heels while keeping theirleft toes raise (Photos 4- ① ② ). Both move to slide their right feet to theirright sides (the lower leg at about 90°with the thigh) and put their right palms
on their right knees while resting their left hands naturally down (Photos 5① ② ). This posture is called Kyoshi or Kurai-dori . Then, Uke moves his rightfoot to the inner side, takes one step forward with his right foot following on
his left knee (Shikko ) and move to slides his right foot to his right side again
to take the posture of Kyoshi (Photo 6).

1. Kesa-gatame
Uke puts his right hand with the fingertips pointing left in front of his left

knee (Photos 1- ① ② ), supports his body with his right hand and left foot andlifts his left knee (Photo 2), inserts his right leg between his right hand andleft foot to stretch it backward in the outside of his left leg and put his hips
close to his left heel (Photos 3, 4). Uke then lies on his back with both arms
along the side of his body (Photos 5- ① ② ). (the same manner after this).
Movement 1: After Uke lies down, Tori returns his right foot to rise (Photo 6),
moves to Uke’s right side, and takes Kyoshi in the distance of Toma (about
1.2m or about 4 shaku ) (Photo 7), then takes two steps forward from his rightfoot by Shikko , and take Kyoshi in the distance of Chikama (about 0.3m orabout 1 shaku ) (Photo 8). (the same manner in each technique)- 6 -（Photo 1- ①）（Photo 1- ②）（Photo 2）（Photo 3）（Photo 4）（Photo 5- ①）（Photo 5- ②）（Photo 6）（Photo 7）（Photo 8）- 7 -Movement 2: Tori moves slightly forward from the distance of Chikama andholds Uke’s right arm with both of his hands (holding Uke’s upper arm withthe left hand, four fingers downward and Uke’s forearm with his right hand,four fingers upward) (Photos 9- ① ② ). Lifting Uke’s right arm, Tori brings hisleft hand around it to grasp the back of Uke’s right upper sleeve, holds it
under his left arm (Photo 10- ① ② ), then kneels down on his right knee near
Uke’s right armpit while turning his body to his left and put his right hand on
Uke’s left shoulder through the left armpit (Photo 11). Tori put down his right
hip while moving his right knee forward, sticks his right breast to the front
side of Uke’s breast firmly, moves his left knee backward to put its inside on
Tatami while bending it slightly and moves his right knee forward while also
bending it slightly (Photos 12- ① ② ).
Movement 3: Tori pins to control Uke by pulling fully with his left hand.
Uke tries to escape, for example, by* putting his left hand on his right hand and applying arm lock on Tori’s left

elbow (Photos 13, 14).
* using a quick upward arching and inserting his right knee (Photo 15).
* turning over Tori to the direction of his left shoulder (Photo 16).
and so forth. Uke finally signals “Mairi ” when he cannot escape Tori’s
control.
The signal of “Mairi ” is showed by tapping Tori’s body or the mat twice withhis hand. When Uke cannot use either hand, he taps the mat twice with foot.

Movement 4: When Uke signals “Mairi ”, both Tori and Uke return to their
original positions to be in the form of “Kesa-gatame ”.
Tori releases his hold, puts Uke’s right arm back to its original position withboth of his hands and retreats to the distance of Chikama to take Kyoshi(Photo 17).

toward Uke’s right ear with his left hand, puts his right kneecap against
the right side of Uke’s body while raising his right toe (Photos 3- ① ② ) andreaches over Uke’s left shoulder to the right side of Uke’s neck passing
behind the neck with his right hand. While putting the right side of his neckon the previous spot of Uke’s right arm where his left hand was pushing andpressing it against Uke’s right cheek to control Uke’s right arm, Tori thencrosses his right hand reached out from below Uke’s neck with his left hand
while putting his right hand on top and stretches his left leg out to his left
