The book is aimed at providing the newcomer to Kata as well as the Kata club instructor with up-to-date lessons that can be used immediately on the mat without any other preparation. Nage-no-Kata - the forms of throwing - deals with throwing techniques used in Judo. The Kata are divided into five groups and each of these has three throwing techniques to carry out on both sides of the body. An introduction covers general matters such as the layout of the mat, body posture, movement, grip and many other features. The next section includes the descriptions of the throws as well as the transition to the next follow-up throw. Numerous photos clearly describe each of the throws as sequences of movement on four consecutive pages. The important points of each throw are highlighted using circles to clarify each point. Starting with the greeting and ending with the final bow, all the picture sequences depict a practically unbroken chain of movements for the Nage-no-Kata. Despite the guidelines for each Kata, their execution is a personal expression of the performer. Thus, the details in this book reflect the influence of the two authors and these signatures are characteristic of the experienced Judo instructors and Kata experts that have advised them and accompanied them over the past years.
