🥋 Ju no Kata Seminar – Free Training Opportunity 🥋
Date: Sunday, 25 January 2026
Time:9:00am – 4:00pm
Provider:Judo Queensland
Delivered by:Judo Queensland Kata Committee
Judo Queensland is excited to present a special free Ju no Kata seminar — a rare opportunity to study and refine one of judo’s most important kata under the guidance of the Judo Queensland Kata Committee.
Jigoro Kano created Ju no Kata (Form of Gentleness) to demonstrate the principle of ju — maximum efficiency through flexibility and yielding rather than strength alone. The kata consists of 15 slow, controlled techniques performed with a partner, developing balance, posture, coordination, core strength, and flexibility. It is widely recognised as an excellent kata for improving overall body control and movement efficiency.
Ju no Kata is a mandatory requirement for 5th dan promotion, making this seminar particularly valuable for senior judoka preparing for future advancement.
