In 1911, the adoption of bujutsu as a teaching material for regular school lessons was accepted for the first time. However, in the teaching guidelines for school gymnastics published in 1913, the teaching content of bujutsu was not clearly shown. To remedy this, the Ministry of Education held a training session for bujutsu teachers. This study looks at this bujutsu training session and what the content guidelines and the teaching methods of judo were to show clearly to what extent they were established in schools throughout Japan.
The findings of this study are as follows. At the bujutsu training session, gokyo-no-waza was presented as the main teaching material of judo, and teachers all over Japan were informed of this. Therefore, the teaching content of judo in regular school lessons after the training session used nage-waza as the main teaching material, and gokyo-no-waza was regarded as a teaching material arrangement of nage-waza for gradual instruction. The main teaching method of gokyo-no-waza gradually permeated every school, and teaching methods gradually become unified and it was integrated into the teaching guidelines of school gymnastics in the second revision (1936).
