Nage Te

Nage Te

Nage Te (sometimes referred to as Nage No Kata, or just Nage) is the second kata of Danzan-Ryū Jūjutsu and deals with methods of throwing an opponent to the ground. These techniques are similar to those found in the Nage no Kata from Kōdōkan Jūdō.

In this kata, the student learns how to attack an opponent based upon the weakness of their posture. This is accomplished through proper kuzushi, or off-balancing. When this is done properly, the opponent is easily moved with a minimum of effort, even with fingertip control.

Prof. Henry Seishiro Okazaki made the following analogy: "This principle can be compared to the strength of an individual who can control and manipulate a boat at ease and at will so long as the boat is floating on water, whereas the moment the boat finds itself on land it often defies the attempt of several strong men to move it."
