Hyōri no Kata (Full Kata) – YOSEIKAN BUDŌ
⛩️ Source
This extract comes from the BAB Japan instructional DVD series, released in early 2000, with Volume 2 specifically published on January 26, 2000, and both volumes supervised by Minoru Mochizuki Sensei, who oversaw the filming, choreographed demonstrations, and performed many techniques personally. The technique demonstrated here comes from the Hyōri no Kata, a kata created by Minoru Mochizuki that simulates combat in armor. It is performed in slow-motion and consists entirely of Kaeshi Waza (counter techniques). In this DVD, this kata is demonstrated by Minoru Mochizuki Sensei’s students.
🔖 Technique Notes
Uke begins by attacking Muna Dōri Yokomen Uchi, and Tori counters with Katate Dōri Kubishime. Uke attempts an Iki Chigai (Sankyō Nage-like), which Tori neutralizes and controls with Hiji Kudaki (Hiji Kime Osae variation). Uke then shifts to Ro Buse (Ikkyō Ura-like control), and Tori responds with a Do Gaeshi (Aiki Otoshi variation). Uke evades, creates distance, and attacks with a Jōdan Tsuki, met by Tori’s Shihō Nage. Uke counters with Tenbin Nage (Ude Kime Nage variation), which Tori answers with Mukae Taoshi (Irimi Nage variation). Finally, Uke tries Tenbin Nage (Ude Garami Nage / Kimura variation), and Tori completes the sequence by countering with a Kata Guruma.
