Kata
The formal techniques, etiquette and philosophy of judo — essential for grading, deepening understanding, and competitive kata.
Kata preserves the technical and theoretical foundations of judo. Practising kata develops etiquette, tradition and deeper insight into techniques that underpin randori and shiai — and is central to progression into shodan and beyond.
Judo Australia’s Kata Committee promotes club kata practice and competitive pathways. National resources include selection criteria, judge certification and Kodokan / IJF reference materials.
