Participants, ranging from 12 to 60+ years met up on the mats. It was good to see how many dan grades had found the time to attend the seminar. If kata is to be standardized and taught properly, the trainers themselves must show an interest. The 4 youths who came to the course represent a new era in judo, in which training in randori, shiai and kata are available for all from the start of their training. Iura sensei had made, and sent before he came, an overview of the positioning in this kata, which is varies quite a bit. This together with the IJF 2 Nordisk katamagasin 8 comments on the scoring for this kata made a basis for introducing the kata. Iura sensei gave his usual extremely precise and clarifying presentation of each technique. Sensei’s comments are very important, as the booklet of main points for this kata has still to be translated from Japanese to English. With such good participation at this course, the possibility of more courses with Iura sensei arises.

Assistant to Mr. Capelletti) who translated back and forth between three languages, and yet managed to attain a feeling of team spirit amongst the judges. A most impressive feat! Especially considering that the seminar lasted 10 hours (effective time). A new set of kata demonstrations was used for the seminar. A technique was shown, a judge asked for comments and a score, this was debated and a consensus reached. Then Sugiyama sensei gave a précis of the salient points and his score. Thus, a general consensus was reached on the scoring. Hopefully this will result in less variation among the judges’ scores in the future.
