Katame-waza ura-no-kata

About this event

The aim of this course is to introduce players to Katame-Waza Ura-No-Kata (Forms of Counter Techniques in Groundwork). This kata focuses on the principles of responding to and countering an opponent’s attempts to apply osaekomi-waza (hold-downs), shime-waza (strangulation techniques), and kansetsu-waza (joint locks). Katame-Waza Ura-No-Kata consists of a structured series of techniques demonstrating effective use of timing, positioning, control, and escape, followed by the application of decisive counter-techniques. The course provides an excellent opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of ne-waza principles, tactical awareness, and their application in contest situations and self-defence. This is a British Judo Association Licensed Coach Education Course and is worth one credit. The course is limited to 20 places due to the size of the tatami.
