## What is Judo Gokyo Lite?

Judo Gokyo is for all those who want to learn, develop  or teach the 40 basic techniques of judo.

Whether you are a beginner or a black belt, you always want to make every effort to improve your style : style reflects much better than the result, the value of judoka.

To improve his technique, the practitioner must, from the white belt onwards, undergo an intensive observation of the best stylists. Then, the practitioner tries to imitate, interpret images that his memory has been able to record : thousands of rehearsals will be necessary to acquire these automatic moves.

Judo Gokyo has 2 operating modes :
The mode "Gokyo" is a demonstration that you can attend the presentation  Video by Master Hiroshi Katanishi, 8th Dan, Japanese expert, the 40 basic techniques. Enjoy the replay as often as necessary to immerse yourself in it.
To find a technique by typing its name.
To find a group of techniques containing the same word.

Mode "Quiz" is a test for your memory. Test your knowledge and put the techniques in the corresponding kyu.
To answer the Quiz by typing the name of the technique.

### 4/5 — Flash cards for movements

*2024-04-30*

I wish they included a written description to follow along with so you could better see the key parts of the movements. (Books are still relevant)

The quiz is helpful but has bugs. (Quits every now and again).  

Software is week. Still find myself on YouTube when I’m needing help with execution.

It’s been helpful for me coming back to judo after nearly 25 years.

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2023-11-17*

Attention

### 5/5 — Très utile

*2021-11-21*

Une application complète et très réussie.
Elle m’est très utile pour pogresser et préparer le contenu technique pour les passages de grade. 
J’apprécie surtout de retrouver la pédagogie de Katanishi Hitoshi Sensei.

**Developer response:** Merci Llawreint, nous sommes heureux que Judo gokyo vous aide dans votre tâche.

### 3/5 — Bon application mais

*2020-02-06*

C’est une bonne application mais pour le prix payé il manque beaucoup de prise merci de mettre à jour l’application

**Developer response:** Bonjour et merci pour votre intérêt à notre app.

Le Go Kyo contient cinq niveaux d'enseignement soit 5 fois 8 techniques = 40 !
Les autres techniques sont hors Gokyo.
Il ne manque rien mais, selon vous, quelles sont les techniques manquantes ?

### 5/5 — Parabéns aos produtores. Excelente App!!

*2018-06-16*

Parabéns aos produtores. Excelente App!!

### 5/5 — Bom

*2016-06-03*

### 5/5 — Muito Bom

*2015-07-05*

Material muito bem produzido!

### 3/5 — judo geko

*2015-05-31*

I haven't used it yet but if I start losing weight and develop my skills I will wright a up date to let you all know how it's going.

### 1/5 — Was soll das??

*2015-03-21*

Ich habe die App schon lange, durch das letzte Update kamen noch die Bodentechnijen dazu, das fand ich klasse und habe mir überlegt, die 6,00€ für die Freischaltung zu investieren…

Aber jetzt soll ich auch 6,00€ für die Freischaltung des 3.-1. Kyu zu zahlen… 

Es ist unverschämt und frech, nachträglich schon genutzte Inhalte als In-App-Kauf zu deklarieren und dafür zu kassieren…
12,00€ für die komplette App ist sehr teuer…
