Kodokan Gokyo
The Kodokan Gokyo is generally regarded as the key to the study of throwing techniques. These units of instruction comprise representative techniques selected from each of the throwing actions, reduced to a system and arranged in sequence of instruction.
The Kodokan Gokyo originated in 1895. From 1920 to 1982 the Kodokan Gokyo was made up of 40 throws in 5 groups. On the 100th anniversary of the Kodokan (1982) an additional group of 8 traditional throws was added (they had been taken out in 1920), and 17 newer techniques were recognized as official Kodokan Judo throws (shinmeisho no waza). In 1997 the Kodokan added the last two additional throws to the shinmeisho no waza.
