Junanahon no Kata

The Junanahon no Kata is the basic training techniques of Shodokan Aikido, otherwise known as Tomiki Aikido.

Junanahon no Kata

They are usually referred to as the Randori no Kata, or the 'Kata of Seventeen'. The techniques were chosen for Randori practice, where students practising the Tomiki method of Aikido can get pretty fierce with each other.

It's committed attacking, but the spirit is friendly, believe it or not. It's true sport because the guy attacking you wants to win, sure. But he'll also be happy for you when you manage to throw him.

That's a great way to train, and for me that is true sportsmanship.

Unlike traditional Aikido, the Tomiki style (also called Shodokan Aikido) is very similar to Judo. They both have this Randori practice - up to the level of full Tournament Competition, or Shiai.

Some Tomiki schools have Shiai, and others don't. It's really up to the teacher.
