| Abstract (English): | This paper aims to describe, contextualize and critically analyze the historical origin and background, circumstances, structure and logic that underpin Kōdōkan jūdō's gokyō-no-waza and classification of throws outside of the gokyō. To do so, we have applied historical methods and source criticism allowing us to uncover hitherto unknown facts and to offer a critical analysis of the gokyō's foundations and previously published hypotheses. With kata prior to the creation of the gokyō being the only crutch that Kanō's assistants could lean on when having to teach the Kōdōkan's exponentially growing number of jūdō students, there was a dire need for a didactically organized teaching plan of technical progression. It is to that end that in 1895 some of Kanō's most senior students and himself came up with the gokyō-nowaza or "techniques of the five teachings" as their standard syllabus of throwing techniques. Today referred to as the kyū gokyō-no-waza, this first syllabus consisted of 42 techniques. In response to the evolution of jūdō, a revised syllabus, the shin gokyō-no-waza consisting of 40 techniques was launched in 1920 based on the input of six of Kanō's leading students. The techniques within the gokyō are organized foremost with attention to being easy for breakfalling. Between 1982 and 2017, the Kōdōkan expanded their syllabus to 68 throws by creating two categories of techniques outside of the gokyō, i.e. the habukareta-waza and the shinmeishō-no-waza. In this paper we propose to add a new category of 25 historically documented jūdō throws, which we have named the jidai-okure-no-waza [obsolete techniques] hence bringing the total recognized jūdō throws to 93.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El objetivo de este artículo es describir, contextualizar y analizar críticamente el origen histórico y los antecedentes, las circunstancias, la estructura y la lógica que sustentan el gokyō-no-waza del jūdō Kōdōkan y la clasificación de las proyecciones no incluidas en el gokyō. Para ello, se han aplicado métodos históricos y la crítica de las fuentes, lo que ha permitido descubrir hechos hasta ahora desconocidos y ofrecer un análisis crítico de los fundamentos del gokyō y de las hipótesis presentes anteriormente en la literatura. Dado que las kata anteriores a la creación del gokyō eran el único apoyo que tenían los discípulos de Kanō a la hora de enseñar al número exponencialmente creciente de alumnos del jūdō Kōdōkan, existía una necesidad acuciante de un plan de enseñanza organizado didácticamente para facilitar la progresión técnica. Con ese propósito, en 1895, algunos de los alumnos más veteranos de Kanō y él mismo idearon el gokyō-no-waza o "técnicas de las cinco enseñanzas" como programa estándar de técnicas de proyección. Hoy en día conocido como kyū gokyō-no-waza, este primer programa De Crée, constaba de 42 técnicas. En respuesta a la evolución del jūdō, en 1920 se estrenó un programa revisado, el shin gokyō-no-waza, que constaba de 40 técnicas, basado en las aportaciones de seis de los principales alumnos de Kanō. Las técnicas del gokyō se organizan principalmente prestando atención a la facilidad de la caída. Entre 1982 y 2017, el Kōdōkan amplió su programa a 68 proyecciones, creando dos categorías de técnicas no incluidas en el gokyō, es decir, el habukareta-waza y el shinmeishō-no-waza. En este artículo proponemos añadir una nueva categoría de 25 proyecciones de jūdō documentadas históricamente, a las que hemos denominado jidai-okure-no-waza [técnicas obsoletas], con lo que el total de proyecciones de jūdō reconocidas asciende a 93.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever, contextualizar e analisar criticamente a origem histórica e o contexto, as circunstâncias, a estrutura e a lógica que sustentam o gokyō-no-waza do jūdō Kōdōkan e a classificação das projeções fora do gokyō. Para isso, aplicamos métodos históricos e crítica de fontes, o que nos permitiu descobrir fatos até então desconhecidos e oferecer uma análise crítica dos fundamentos do gokyō e das hipóteses publicadas anteriormente. Com os kata anteriores à criação do gokyō sendo a única muleta em que os assistentes de Kanō podiam se apoiar quando tinham que ensinar o número exponencialmente crescente de alunos de jūdō do Kōdōkan, havia uma necessidade urgente de um plano de ensino didaticamente organizado de progressão técnica. Foi com esse objetivo que, em 1895, alguns dos alunos mais antigos de Kanō e ele próprio criaram o gokyō-no-waza ou "técnicas dos cinco ensinamentos" como seu programa padrão de técnicas de projeção. Hoje conhecido como kyū gokyō-no- waza, este primeiro programa consistia em 42 técnicas. Em resposta à evolução do jūdō, um programa revisado, o shin gokyō-no-waza, composto por 40 técnicas, foi lançado em 1920 com base nas contribuições de seis dos principais alunos de Kanō. As técnicas dentro do gokyō são organizadas principalmente com atenção para serem fáceis de cair. Entre 1982 e 2017, o Kōdōkan expandiu o seu programa para 68 projeções, criando duas categorias de técnicas fora do gokyō, ou seja, o habukareta-waza e o shinmeishō-no-waza. Neste artigo, propomos adicionar uma nova categoria de 25 projeções de jūdō historica- mente documentadas, que denominamos jidai-okure-nowaza [técnicas obsoletas], elevando assim o total de projeções de jūdō reconhecidas para 93.
