Karate Kumite (KK)

By Traditonal Karate Kumite the individual match in adults categories is decided by “Shobu Ippon”. “Shobu Ippon” means one point match where the participants try to score one point before their opponent within the time limit. Ippon, literally “one full point”, is the highest score a fighter can achieve in a Japanese martial arts ippon-wazari contest. There are two possible points which participant can receive: wazari and ippon. A Waza-ari is awarded for a technique almost comparable to that needed to score Ippon. An ippon is awarded for a technique which is judged as decisive, this is usually a move which connects cleanly, with good form and with little opportunity for the opponent to defend against it.
