The short answer is no (not true) You can find kicking and knee strikes, punching, elbow blows, all manner of joint manipulation, headbutts, choking, throwing and even knife and sword techniques in Judo kata.

Sadly the emphasis on Olympic competition has relegated kata to a sideline if it is practiced at all.
