Judo Kata

[lordtariel]

So I don't know how many people know this but there are actually kata in traditional judo. My sensei used to teach them to his black belt students. Has anyone here ever trained in them or seen them?

I have. the reason a lot of people don't know them is because they are not required knowledge until black belt level. Some instructors will start showing them to you at one of the brown belt levels.

I have seen them in books before. I have never seen them done, though. I wasn't aware of what rank they were required at. They are actually two-man katas, aren't they?

[nine_weapons]

yeah, they are.
