The objective of Judo Competition
In Judo, the primary goal is to throw or takedown the opponent with control and force, aiming for a clean execution.
Forbidden Techniques
Certain techniques are strictly prohibited in Judo competitions, including striking, kicking, and attacking the joints deliberately.
Illegal Grips and Holds
Judokas must adhere to specific rules regarding grips and holds to maintain fairness and prevent potential injuries during matches.
Forbidden Acts in Ne-Waza (Groundwork)
Illegitimate actions, such as using fingers to poke or entangling the opponent's clothing excessively, are strictly forbidden during groundwork.
Scoring Criteria for Throws
Judges evaluate throws based on execution, force, and control. A well-executed throw that demonstrates mastery scores higher in the competition.
Waza-Ari and Ippon
Scoring includes Waza-Ari (half-point) and Ippon (full-point). Achieving an Ippon secures victory, while accumulating Waza-Aris may also lead to success.
Time Limits and Golden Score
Judo matches have specified time limits. In the event of a tie, the Golden Score rule is applied, prolonging the match until a clear winner emerges.
Penalties and Shido
Penalties, known as Shido, are assigned for rule violations. Accumulating Shidos may result in disqualification or victory for the opponent.
Prohibited Actions for Safety
Certain actions, like intentionally falling to the ground to avoid throws, are against the rules to ensure the safety and integrity of the competition.
Respect and Sportsmanship
Respect for opponents, and officials, and adherence to the principles of sportsmanship are fundamental in Judo competitions, reflecting the essence of the martial art.
Understanding and following these rules not only contribute to a fair and exciting competition but also upholds the spirit of Judo.
