    THE KATA of Wa Shin Ryu Jujutsu

    The system has NINE formal kata and various training katas. Their primary purpose is to demonstrate Wa Shin Ryu principles in action. They are also a repository of many of the major techniques of the system.

  • 1. Ikkyo No Kata (Kata for Distance Fighting - Tohma No Waza)
  • 2. Nikkyo No Kata (formerly Mudansha No Kata). Kata for Close Quarter Fighting (Chikai No Waza)
  • 3. Sankyo No Kata (Kata for Ground Fighting - Katame No Waza)
  • 4. Russo Ashi Gatame No Kata (Includes photos of locks applied to knee and ankle)
  • 5. Renraku No Kata (standing close quarter zone 2 combinations)
  • 6. Wa Shin Ryu Nage No Kata
  • 7. Jigoku No Kata (Kata from Hell - Joint locking techniques applied to fingers and wrist). Partially completed
  • 8. Buki No Kata (defense against weapons) Under construction
  • 9. Ryoku No Kata (demonstrates selected principles of power and control)

    Training Kata (Randori No Kata)

    These training sequences are here described as being executed on the right side (in most cases). However, they are to be practiced on both sides.

    The Gregorian Sequence (links close quarter and ground finding strikes and joint locking techniques. Tori begins with fake uraken to face which then becomes a strike to the arm pit, followed by neck twist to ground, kote gatame, turnover into hadaka jime)

    Russo No Kata (strikes, blocks, deflections, evasions and kicks - 9 techniques. Uke delivers oblique strike to temple, then punch to stomach, etc )

    Tiger Walks the Elephant (for timing, control, coordination and harmonizing)

    Kirby-Stanley Katame No Kata (knife deflection to single leg take-down into kesa gatame, escape into kote gatame, etc.)

    Uki Goshi No Kata. #1 attacks with downward blow to head. #2 enters with Uki Goshi (floating hip), throws and secures kesa gatame. #1 escapes and holds #2 in kesa gatame. #2 escapes by turning sideways but #1 traps defender's right elbow with own right elbow. #2 rolls to front, face down and covers up. #1 grasps defender's right wrist with own right hand and while pressing defender's base of neck to floor (with left hand) steps over, pins defender's upper arm on the tricep muscle with own right forearm (sharp edge of own forearm) and draws out and straightens defender's right arm ending up in modified (kuzure) Waki Gatame (side lock). When defender submits attacker secures defender's other arm (elbow to elbow) and brings both hands together, sitting back on defender's shoulder and side of head. The subject is thus pinned by defender's effective use of center and secure hold of both of attacker's arms.
