The 67 Kodokan Judo Throws Nagewaza

The Gokyo no Waza as the standard syllabus of Judo throws originated in 1895. From 1920 to 1982 the Kodokan
Gokyo no Waza was made up of 40 throws in 5 groups and these were all of the throwing techniques in the
Kodokan syllabus. Around the 100th anniversary of the Kodokan (1982) a group of 8 traditional Judo throws were
recognized that had been taken out in 1920, and 17 newer techniques were recognized as official Kodokan Judo
throws (called the Shinmeisho no Waza). In 1997 the Kodokan added the last two additional Judo throws to the
Shinmeisho no Waza. The following are the only throwing techniques (nage waza) currently recognized by the
Kodokan.
