One-Knee Kata Guruma Variation
⛩️ Source
This excerpt comes from "Kōdōkan Jūdō – Nage Waza – Various techniques and their names", with technical adviser 9th Dan Toshiro Daigo Sensei and narrators Yuka Nukina and David Powers ; the exact publication year is not documented, but it was produced after the 1995 World Judo Championships as part of the Kōdōkan instructional series from the late 1990s.
Since the related "Kōdōkan Jūdō – Katame Waza – Various techniques and their names" was released in 1994, and considering the inclusion of 1995 World Championship footage and typical production timelines for Kōdōkan/NHK instructional DVDs, the Nage Waza DVD is estimated to have been released between 1996 and 1999.
🔖 Technique Notes
Using Uke’s forward momentum, Tori steps between Uke’s legs, dropping onto his rear-leg knee to load Uke across his shoulders while controlling one leg. He then rotates and tips forward, wheeling Uke over his shoulders and throwing him onto his back, as in the classic Kata Guruma, but performed with one knee on the mat.
