Goshin Jutsu...

[Tant01]

There's a three year old thread in the JKD board about Judo for self defense. I thought I'd let that one rest and see if there was any interest in the Kodokan's modern self defense forms...? Anyone?

I was recently asked if the striking in Judo was just a myth or if there was actually something to the Judo Atemi Waza?

My response started making me think I might actually know something about Judo Where can I find out about this so called "Atemi Waza"?

And why don't you ever see any punching or kicking during Judo training?


Thanks...



(hey Tom, did you ever read my posts about "weak counterpart position"? Here is me doing it again! :::Smile:::

Basically Goshin Jutsu is found mainly in the North East. Pennsylvania region. Durant settled there and taught many people up to instructor level. Up until about 3-4 years ago a school was still in operaion under Hanshi Capella. Now I believe Capella move to Texas, or Florida? Anyways its far away. I think the current school is run by Steven Tubbs.

Ju-d'oh?

Thanks very kindly...


This would be a great help but I was asking about Kodokan Goshin-Jutsu kata. (Judo)

The Kodokan Goshin Jutsu is the most recent Kata, created in 1956. It is closely related to Kime No Kata and consists of self-defense techniques using throwing, jointlocking, striking, and kicking techniques. When Goshin Jutsu Kata was established, considerable effort was taken to ensure the techniques were appropriate and up-to-date, and yet distinct from those techniques of Kime No Kata. The Goshin Jutsu Kata has twenty-one techniques. Twelve techniques are for use against an unarmed attacker and nine techniques are for use against an armed attacker...


Are we talking about the same thing?


Thanks again!

Thanks Tant.

Goshin jitsu kata sounds like a bridge between Kodokan and jiu-jitsu.

[Tant01]

The bridge?

Interesting point, Tom... The older katas in Judo may reflect the "bridge" between Jujutsu and Judo. Kime no Kata and Koshiki no Kata are both nearly "pure" jujutsu and embody the principles of maximun effeciency...

Funny that they include so many striking techniques, eh?
