The popularity of judo kata in the world today is in progression. In addition to the large percentage of national judo federations that have Nage-no-kata in their Dan grade promotion curriculum, one of the reasons is the introduction of kata competitions at all levels. Regardless of this, it is fundamentally important to understand the edu-cational value of Nage-no-kata. The original idea of practising kata in Kodokan judo is its educational value because its kata form was created precisely for learning the basics of techniques and the principles of judo (Kano, 2005). The value of Nage-no-kata as a means of education in judo development is manifested in physical, technical and mental parts. Different levels of knowledge of Nage-no-kata condition its potential application in training and daily training.
