{{nihongo|Kata guruma|肩車}} is one of the traditional forty throws of judo as developed by Kano Jigoro. Kata guruma belongs to the third group of the traditional throwing list in the Gokyo no waza of the Kodokan Judo.[http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo1.htm The Gokyo of Kodokan Judo: Videos of 40 Throwing Techniques] It is also part of the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo.[http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo.htm The 67 Kodokan Judo Throws – Nagewaza] Because the technique is not a sweep nor a trip and requires tori to pull uke into a carry, it is categorized as a hand throwing technique (tewaza).[http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo3.htm Classification of Techniques in Kodokan Judo]
Description
In The Essence of Judo, Kyuzo Mifune demonstrates three variations of kata guruma. In the second variation, Mifune steps behind uke, and in the third he steps behind uke and grabs uke{{'}}s left leg instead. In all three variations, uke is lifted up to tori{{'}}s shoulder behind tori{{'}}s head, and then dropped forward (as in the above clip). The drop kata guruma is a variant of kata guruma.[http://www.suginoharyu.com/html/video/kihonwaza/kata%20guruma%20(drop).mpg Demonstrated] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327090840/http://www.suginoharyu.com/html/video/kihonwaza/kata%20guruma%20%28drop%29.mpg |date=2022-03-27 }} from http://www.suginoharyu.com/html/index.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220723064205/http://www.suginoharyu.com/html/index.html |date=2022-07-23 }} Other, minor variations were invented by Mifune's understudy Kyutaro Kanda.Raisuke Kudo, 9th dan Kyutaro Kanda, 1965, Judo Meikan
Ronda Rousey uses a variation in WWE where she drops opponents backwards like a Samoan drop.{{Citation|last=WrestleTalk|title=Real Reason Ronda Rousey PULLED From WWE Raw! {{!}} WrestleTalk News Mar. 2018|date=2018-03-14|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsimfiBdlM0&t=1m47s|access-date=2018-03-31}} Because the most common versions of kata guruma involve a grip below the belt/touching the legs, these variations are now illegal under the current International Judo Federation rules (as of 2019).
