A few cards from the deck

  • Tori and uke: what is it?

    Show the answer

    Tori performs the technique, uke receives it.

    In practice, the roles alternate.

  • A throw: which step comes after "Rei, the bow"?

    • Kumikata, the grip
    • Kuzushi, off-balancing
    • Tsukuri, the entry
    • Kake, the execution
    Show the answer

    Kumikata, the grip

    Without off-balancing the throw fails.

  • Ukemi: what is it?

    Show the answer

    The breakfall that protects uke when thrown.

    It is learned before any throw.

  • A judoka gets a third shido. Decision?

    • The judoka loses the contest
    • The opponent scores waza-ari
    • Just a warning
    • The contest restarts
    Show the answer

    The judoka loses the contest

    Three shidos mean hansoku-make.

    Show the answer

    Throwing techniques, standing.
