<span class="mw-page-title-main">Yoseikan Aikido</span> Aikido taught at the Yoseikan Dojo in Shizuoka, Japan

Yoseikan Aikido is the aikido taught at the Yoseikan Dojo in Shizuoka, Japan, under the direction of Minoru Mochizuki.

Gonosen-no-kata is a judo kata that focuses on counter-attacks to throwing techniques. It is not an officially recognized kata of judo, but has acquired disproportionate significance by its inclusion in Kawaishi's The complete seven katas of judo. Writing in the early post-war period, Kawaishi described the kata as "being practiced less in Japan than in Europe".

Practice of Kaeshi no Kata is almost entirely limited to Great-Britain, where until today it has been understood as a judo kata which, like the Gonosen-no-kata, focuses on counter-attacks to throwing techniques. The kata was commonly explained as being an older form than Gonosen-no-kata, that was passed onto Ōtani Masutarō from Tani Yukio.

The Nage-waza ura-no-kata is a judo kata that focuses on counter-attacks to throwing techniques. Its superiority, over Gonosen-no-kata, can be attributed to the fact that it was developed by the sublimely talented Mifune Kyūzō, to be a formal kata, and not some ad hoc collection of counters proceeded by some protocol. The exercise is not an officially recognized Kodokan kata.

Aikido techniques are frequently referred to as waza 技. Aikido training is based primarily on two partners practicing pre-arranged forms (kata) rather than freestyle practice. The basic pattern is for the receiver of the technique (uke) to initiate an attack against the person who applies the technique—the 取り tori, or shite 仕手, also referred to as (投げ nage, who neutralises this attack with an aikido technique.
