Aikido Techniques

The Randori no Kata, or Junanahon no Kata

The Basic 17 Aikido Throws and Holds of Shodokan or Tomiki-style Aikido

Tomiki Aikido's Aiki-Randori-ho Junanahon no Kata

The Randori No Kata contains the first Aikido techniques you will be taught when you join a dojo which teaches Tomiki-style Aikido. (This include Shodokan Aikido or Japan Aikido Association, Fugakukai Aikido or Karl Geis Ryu, and Kikusui Aikido schools).

They will first teach you the Basic 17 Aikido Techniques, which are sometimes known as the Junanahon no Kata (or The Kata of 17).

All the Aikido techniques in the Randori no Kata were carefully selected by Professor Kenji Tomiki as being safe for freestyle-practise (Randori).

He started with 12 aikido throws... then 15, and later 17.

This aikido kata is divided into four progressive sections of Aikido techniques.
