The Gokyo no Waza (五教の技) is the standard syllabus of Judo throwing techniques, originally established in 1895 at the Kodokan in Tokyo, Japan. It consists of 40 throws divided into five sets (or groups) of eight techniques each. This system was designed to provide a comprehensive framework for learning and mastering the fundamental throws in Judo.
From 1920 to 1982, the Gokyo no Waza was the primary method for teaching Judo throws at the Kodokan. The techniques are categorized to ensure a balanced progression in skill development, covering a wide range of throwing methods.
