Judogido's Nage-no-kata for Shodan

The Nage-No-Kata I performed for my Judo Shodan grading. I am tori (the person doing the throwing) from the right of the screen.

This is one component of a judo grading, after amassing the required competition points. You also have to demonstrate all the go-kyo throws, counters, combinations, chokes, armlocks, turnovers, guard passes/subs from guard, be able to explain the principles as though you were teaching them and answer refereeing questions.

-- I passed.

@makikomi Uke is about 30 kilos heavier than Tori.

@jkalefox83 While this is a general rule, you must also keep the Kata smooth and flowing, which means on one or two occasions it is easier to just turn in a "natural" direction for the body.

@melkorthegreat Uke is almost 30 kilos heavier than Tori, and this is only the second time they had performed the Kata together.

The first time was about 10 minutes earlier when their roles were reversed and "Uke" was performing as Tori as part of his 4th Dan Grading, I was his Uke for Katame no Kata

@Freethoughttheatre He did the entire exam with all component parts, and he worked very hard for his grading....I was sitting there watching, you can actually hear me speaking to one of the instructors just as the Kata ends.

Really awesome ura nage. I don't think you understood the yoko gake, it's supposed to sweet out both feet. Did you do the full gamut of the grading that day? Osae, Shime, and Kansetsu waza and Randori, renraku/ kaeshi waza? Because mine was brutal when I did it! I also rolled my ankle and had 4 fights to do that night. Sucked. But I passed. lol

Great, really enjoyed it.

I can see a few criticisms here by other posters, but I dont think any of them are really well founded.

I am doing this soon as part of the Technical route and found this to be a good assurance. Well done mate
