Goshin-waza is always practiced in the form of Kata, and never in Randori. The Goshin-waza is included in Kime no Kata, Kodokan Goshin-jutsu, Kime Shiki and Joshi Goshinho. It should be noted that Kime Shiki and Joshi Goshinho are not very common in todays Judo, but I have choosen to include them anyway, because of the valuable techniques that are tought in them and that in some way complements the techniques from the other Kata.
In this text I have not listed the techniques as they are ordered in the Kata, but in order of attacks. The purpose of that is to show that Judo is a rather complete art as a mean of self-defence.
I have divided them into escapes from holdings, defences against strikes, kicks, knife, stick and pistol attacks.
A Kata not included here is Ju no Kata. This Kata includes self-defence techniques executed in slow movements. It gives the user the fundamental mechanics for self defense applications and and should not be neglected.
