Kata guruma (shoulder wheel) is one of the traditional forty throws of Judo as developed by Jigoro Kano, is detailed in Kano’s writings as borrowed from a book on western wrestling. Kata guruma belongs to the third group of the traditional throwing list in the Gokyo no waza of the Kodokan Judo. It is also part of the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo.
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 (te waza).
