KDK Goshin Jutsu consists of 21 disarming and defensive techniques from attacks from a distance, attacks from close proximity, attacks from the rear, and attacks with a knife, stick/staff or gun/pistol.

 

 

Through studying this kata, a judoka learns appropriate skill and timing for attack and counter attack, In KDK Goshin Jutsu, the technique often ends in a submission (i.e., armbar or choke), throw, and/or disarming of the weapon.

 

The principles of judo … maximum efficiency with minimum effort is clear through effective and efficient shisei and taisabaki, and executing the parts of a throw / technique…kuzushi, tsukuri and kake.

 

KDK Goshin Jutsu is one of the seven major KDK katas: Nage no Kata (throwing waza), Katame no Kata (mat waza), Ju no Kata (gentle / no gi kata), Kime no Kata (ancient weapons), KDK Goshin Jutsu (Modern weapons), Koshiki no Kata (kata in armor) and Itsutsu no Kata (Forms of Five).
