This paper is about Ju-no-Kata, one of the seven types of Kata handed down in Kodokan. It is based on “Judo-Hongi,” written by Jigoro Kano, and “A Study of Teaching Methods in Ju-no-Kata,” written by Kunio Murakami. The method is to sort out the characteristics of these documents and to focus on the passages that mention Maai. Kano attempted to convey the correct Ju-no-Kata movements and their sig-nificance to practitioners. Murakami wrote mainly about the rational teaching method of Ju-no-Kata. The waza in which relatively large differences were found in the descriptions of the both documents were Naname-uchi and Tsuki-age. The waza with relatively significant changes after the publication of both docu-ments was Katate-age. From several discourses, it can be seen that Kano had a flexible attitude toward the modification of Kata. After Kano’s death, the Kata underwent several minor revisions due to research by Kodokan students. The current unified view is contained in a textbook published by Kodokan. Some of the descriptions are different from those of Kano and Murakami. In recent years, Kata has become a competition. The judging criteria for Kata competitions clearly states “position and Maai.” The concept of Maai is im-portant for each competitor, instructor, and judge. In Kata, it is important to understand the significance of each movement, and to practice with an awareness of the Maai necessary for the expression of Riai.
