2. Situation of Okuri-ashi-harai in the techniques of the Kodokan Since judo’s creation in 1882, Master Kano and his students have continuously developed the practice of judo.

This Gokyo-no-Waza was reworked; in 1920 it was published with 40 techniques. In a following step it became 48 techniques and in 1982, seventeen new names for Nage-waza were set out by the Kodokan. Further on some modifications were made until 1997, were, as a result of several changes, the number of
