After a marvelous response in the Aikido forum it has been suggested we continue here, so here I am!
I am aware of a number of Judo kata that are no longer practiced at the Kodokan, one of these is named SHOBU NO KATA or Contest Form and includes Randori techniques both Nage and Katame.
Another is GO NO SEN NO KATA or Counter Form which I was told followed NAGE NO KATA and KATAME NO KATA.
Why were they shelved?
Also the Kodokan had a series of techniques called RENKOHO or Forms of Arrest does anyone know anything about these.
Finally the GO NO KATA or Form of Hardness which I believe is a mixture of Judo and Shotokan Karate.
Is there more than one GO NO KATA?
