Traditionally, Nage-Waza was classified into the ”Go-Kyo-No-Waza” or Five Sets of Techniques consists of 40 throws grouped into five sets. These throws were grouped together in each Kyo (set) because they leveraged similar motions or principles, and it was thought that would make learning the judo principles easier. The kyo classification names use the Japanese numbering system followed by kyo; eg., Dai-Ikkyo (first set) Below is the Go-Kyo-No-Waza with Japanese and English names, along with the throwing subgrouping: Dai-Ikkyo

2. Katame Waza (38), or grappling techniques, are classified into three major groups: 

Osaekomi Waza – Pinning (hold down) techniques (12)



Shime Waza – Strangulation (choking – blood / breathing) techniques (14)



Kansetsu Waza – Joint-locking (elbow) techniques (12)

There may be confusion with Japanese judo terms such as Katame waza versus Ne waza. Katame waza are all grappling techniques that can be used on the mat, and standing up, that include chokes and joint locks. Ne waza is a subset of techniques that refer to on the mat techniques that include pins, chokes and joint locks.

3. Atemi-Waza (22), or striking techniques, are classified into two major groups: 

Ude Ate Waza – Arm / Hand striking techniques (17)


