This is perfectly performed by senior judoka at the kodakan,does it get any closer to the origins of the kata than that?Every school has it's own take on this kata, which is a 3rd Dan Judo kata used to show the self defence elements of Judo, hence the striking etc.I've seen and done this kata slow and as on this clip with the kia,it's a club preference.If you break down each move there is some workable self defence techniques in it if you know how to how to apply them training under pressure

I find this kata intresting. I did judo when i was like 9-12 and this video made me wanna learn judo again.

I practice aikido right now and the detail of uke hiding the tanto in his gi is really something im gonna sugest to my sensei.

Is it Kodokan Judo in this clip?

Why doesn't anyone have any comment on the way the kata is performed? I don't think it's too well, i'm not much of a budokai fan, it differs greatly in approach compared to the kodokan way
