Katas: Randori-no-kata, Nage-no-kata, Katame-no-kata, Ju-no-kata, Goshin-jutsu

Randori-no-kata

For Categories U14 and Lower Only

(Developed by Dr Yoshio Senda, kudan)

This kata is to be performed by two partners who demonstrate each technique in turn, one executing the technique, then the other. It is to be done in fluid movements, rather than from fixed positions, demonstrating the concept of randori, that is, free-practice.

The kata begins with the two partners at opposite edges of the tatami. They bow to each other, and walk onto the tatami, stopping about 4 metres apart. They turn, bow to joseki, then turn towards each other, and bow to each other. They then step forward on the left foot.

At this point, they moved freely towards each other, taking a normal grip (kumi-kata). One will perform the first technique, then the other partner will execute the same technique. The grip may shift as required to properly execute the techniques.

Both partners are to move freely, entering and executing each technique, with the tori demonstrating kuzushi, tsukuri and kake for each technique, and the uke demonstrating free movement, confidence and proper ukemi, with little or no resistance to the technique being performed. After being thrown, the uke will resume a standing position, and then become the tori for their turn at the current technique (if they are the second to do the waza) or begin the next technique in the series.

Once all techniques are completed, the partners will return to their starting positions, straighten their judogis, then take one step back on the right foot. They will bow to each other, then turn and bow to joseki. They will then turn towards each other again and withdraw from the demonstration area, bowing at the edge of the mat.

The techniques demonstrate hand techniques (te-waza), leg techniques (ashi-waza), hip techniques (koshi-waza), combinations of differing techniques (renraku-waza), and techniques to counter an original attack (kaeshi-waza). In order, the techniques are:

1Seoi-nage

2Harai-goshi

3Tai-otoshi

4Uchi mata

5Okuri-ashi-barai

6Renraku-waza

  1. Ouchi-gari to Seoi-nage
  2. Ouchi-gari to Kosoto-gake

7Kaeshi-waza

  1. Harai-goshi (original attack) with Okuri-ashi-barai (counter)
  2. Osoto-gari with Harai-goshi

The techniques can be done to the left or right side, at the partners’ preference, but must be done smoothly with skill.

Note to Parents of U10and U12Athletes:

In keeping with the directions of Sports Canada and Judo Canada, Judo Alberta is following the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model.

This model states that athletes in the U10and U12divisions should be at the stage of skill development, and not at a competitive phase of their development.

In light of this policy, and as noted in Rule IV (1) (above), in the U10and U12 categoriesthe tournament will consist ofrandori sessions of two minutes duration. If one participant completely dominates the match, by throwing the other for multiple ippon-level techniques in a row, the referee may stop the match. Otherwise, the match will continue for the full two minutes.

In addition to the referee on the mat controlling the match, one or more mat-sideofficials will evaluate the competitors for the demonstration of judo skills, including:

  1. sportsmanship
  2. posture
  3. etiquette
  4. effectiveness of techniques
  5. use of varying types of techniques (both standing and in groundwork)
  6. use of techniques in different directions(both standing and in groundwork)
  7. transition from standing techniques (tachi-waza) into groundwork (ne-waza)
  8. transition between groundwork techniques

All athletes in these U10and U12divisions will be recognized for their skill level.

Note that in both the U10and U12 division, mixed gender matches are allowed and may occur if there are inadequate numbers for single gender competition.
