Kodokan Goshin Jutsu (Modern Self Defense Kata)

Recall that the Kime-no-Kata was created around 1888 to study how to attack and defend. However, with the change of lifestyles, it became necessary to come up with a new set of kata more suited to modern times. Therefore, in 1956, the Kodokan established Goshin Jutsu, a set of twenty one self defense techniques, which are divided into two categories: Toshu (or against unarmed attack) and Buki (or against armed attack).
