From Wado Ryu
Revision as of 13:07, 25 February 2026 by Hironori (talk | contribs)

In this new style/organization, we have a special rule set for jiyu kumite.

  • We have head protection like in Kudo.
  • No gloves allowed (only slim fist protection).
  • ground fight is allowed.
  • the fight is 1 minute long

You can win in one of this ways:

  • opponent gives up (surrender by joint locks or for other reasons)
  • fighter is standing, while other fighter is on the floor fore more than one second
  • 3 realistic and good hits to the (protected) head
  • 3 realistic and good kicks
  • opponent unable to move (joint locks, etc) for more than 5 seconds


The fights are divided in to categorys by points:

  • For each life year below 50 years you add 0.2 points.
  • For each life year above 50 years you substract 0.2 points
  • Each Dan is as many points as the number of the dan (2nd Dan is 2 points and so on)
  • Each kilogram below 80 substracts 0.1 points, over 80 kilogram nothing added or substracted.

For example:

  • Fighter A is 20 years old (+6 pts) and 4th Dan (+4 pt). Total 10 points.
  • Fighter B is 35 years old (+3 pts), 5th Dan (+5 pts). Total 8 points.
  • Fighter C is 40 years old (+2 pts), 4th Dan (+4 pts). Total 6 points.
  • Fighter D is 65 years old (-3 pts), 7th Dan (+7 pts). Total 4 points.
  • Fighter E is 50 years old (+0 pts), 2nd Dan (+2 pts). Total 2 points.
  • Fighter F is 75 years old (-5 pts), 5th Dan (+5 pts). Total 0 points.

The Groups are

  • Negative Points
  • 0 to 1.9 points.
  • 2 to 3.9 points.
  • 4 to 5.9 points.
  • 6 points and above.

So there are only 5 classes.
