This paper, as my first research report about the history of techniques in Judo, discusses the system and technical development of “nagenokata” and “katamenokata”, which are thought to be basics of nagewaza and katamewaza respectively.
The “nagewaza” no “kata” in jujutukata by Dainipponbutokukai, which was established in 1906, adopted thirteen without any change out of the fifteen “nagenokata” used in Kodokan before while the other two, “sukuinage”, one of the tewazas, and “turiotoshi”, one of the masutemiwaza, were changed into “kataguruma”and “sumiotosi” respectively. On the other hand, fifteen “katamewaza” no “kata” were established by adopting all of the ten used in Kodokan without any change and adding five new ones. This paper describes the technical development of each of the fifteen nagewazas and the fifteen katamewazas.53
