Conclusion: The results of this investigation showed that SJFT can be used as a valid test to discrimination fitted from unfitted judokas. RPE results showed a difference between group (P=0.01) in the second and third time. Estimated fitness index was better for elite in comparison to non-elite group (P=0.001). Results: Findings of this study demonstrated that elite's heart rate one min after test was less than non-elite group (P=0.001), number of throws in second (P=0.014), third (P=0.001) and sum of three phases (P=0.002) in elite were more than non-elite judokas. Statistical analysis was done using Student's independent Mest, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures and correlation by Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Rating of perceived exertion in three series and blood lactate (LA) before and 3 minutes after test were assessed. Participants were classified into elite and non-elite from their rankings in different competitions subjects performed SJFT after familiarization session. Methods: Eighteen judokas (mean±standard deviation: 22.67☒.14 years old, 177±4.64 cm of height, 73.6☙.9 kg of body mass and at least two years of regular judo training background) took. Flawed research methods, as well as the appearance of a true hoax presumably created with commercial intent, have led to widespread confusion and misinformation in the West about the contents of the elusive go-no-kata.Ĭonclusions: The origin of the misinformation on go-no-kata can be traced back to modern judo authors failing to recognize both important mistakes contained in early Western judo books and the fabrication in recent years of a bogus go-no-kata.Īim: The aim of this study was to verify the potential differences in performance, acute blood lactate responses and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) between elite and non-elite judokas based on SJFT. Results: The name go-no-kata sporadically appeared in some of early Western judo books. Material/Methods: To achieve this, we offer a careful critical analysis of the available literature and rare source material on this kata. We also aim to remove the confusion and mystery which surrounds the go-no-kata.

The purpose of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive study of this kata which once formed a part of the standard judo curriculum. In recent years, Go-no-kata ("Prearranged forms of correct use of force"), a generally considered obsolete and reclusive 'tenth' kata of Kodokan judo, has become the subject of some renewed interest. The practical study of judo includes randori (free exercise), nine different kata (predetermined and choreographed physical exercises), and kogi (lectures). It was Kano's intention to educate both the mind and body. The manuscript of his book on judo’s cultural and technical history, unfortunately, remains unfinished due to his untimely passing.

Professor Waterhouse would eventually join the University of Toronto, where he would spend the rest of his professional career as an educator and scholar. It is there where during his freshman year he had attended for first time a live judo demonstration, and had decided to start his judo career.

Educated to concert pianist level, he graduated in Western Classics, Moral Sciences, and Oriental Studies from the University of Cambridge. Waterhouse (1936-2017) was a Professor emeritus, Japanese studies scholar, and humanities polymath.
