With the exception of fouls, Ippon is awarded for accurate punches, kicks, strikes with the elbow etc. that are a direct cause of the opponent being knocked down if the opponent stays down for 3 seconds or more or is unable to continue fighting. If the opponent is down for less than 3 seconds one waza ari will be awarded. Waza ari is also awarded for high kicks that strike accurately when the opponent is not guarding. However kicks that only touch or push the opponent will not be awarded wazaari. Furthermore if a contestant falls over while doing a domawashikaitengeri or similar kick wazaari will be awarded only if damage is incurred by the opponent. |
