I've searched extensively (books, internet, forum, ...) for this answer and didn't find anything satisfactory.
Could anyone help with the answer or point me in the right direction so I can find it?
What is the reason for different initial positions for tori and uke in Kodokan Kata?
Why does tori start on the right of Kamiza in Nage-no-Kata, Katame-no-Kata, Kime-no-Kata, and Itsutsu-no-kata; and on the left in Ju-no-Kata, Koshiki-no-Kata, and Kodokan Goshin-Jutsu?
Thank you all in advance for any help.
Cheers!
