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 ground for more than 3 seconds
- 3 realistic and good hits to the (protected) head
- 3 realistic and good kicks
- fighter brings enemy to floor, while he keeps standing
- opponent is exactly 60 seconds after begin of the fight unable to move (joint locks, etc)
The fights are divided in to categorys by points:
- For each year over 30 years, you substract 0.1 points.
- Each Dan is as many points as the number of the dan (2nd Dan is 2 points and so on)
- each kilogram below 100 substracts one point, over 100 kilogram nothing added or substracted.
For example:
- Fighter A is 90 kilos (-1 pt), 20 years old (+0 pts) and 1st Dan (+1 pt). Total 0 point.
- Fighter B is 80 kilos (-2 pts), 30 years old (+0 pts), 2nd Dan (+2 pts). Total 0 point.
- Fighter C is 100 kilos (+0 pts), 40 years old (-1 pt), 2nd Dan (+2 pts). Total 1 point.
- Fighter D is 80 kilos (-2 pts), 60 years old (-3 pts), 6th Dan (+6 pts). Total 1 point.
A and B can fight each other, because one person is heavyer, but has a lower dan-level, so it is about equal.
C and B can also fight each other. While D is much older, he has higher Dan, which means a lot of training years and to be very talented.
