JUJUTSU KATA

Hereby the excerpts of basic techniques are shown below.

There are total 78 Jujutsu KATA (techniques) in AIKI JUJUTSU GYAKUTEDO that are categorized into 4 types:

NUKI (release)
NAGE (throw)
RENKO (arrest)
FUDOU (control)

Those KATA are classified into 4 levels such as:
level A: basic and rather easy
level B: needs a delicate know-how to be mastered
level C: application techniques of level B
level D: exclusively high-level and difficult

Those techniques are quite unique to our original RYU (style) and clearly distinguish our GYAKUTE-DO from other Jujutsu styles. Detailed explanations follow, except AIKI which is described separately in another book titled HOW TO AIKI.

In the KATA descriptions, A means attacker and D means defender
