Judo scoring system:

Judo has three grades of score:

→ Ippon: a complete point. With it, you win the combat.

→ Waza-ari: is a half-point. You win a combat with two of this.

→ Yuko: is a lower grade of score,and only count as a tie-breaker; it is not cumulative with one another.

But how to win?

You can win a combat in many ways. The most usual three are:

1. If the judges give you an ippon (a perfect technique, a hold of 25 seconds to your oponent, or a choke or joint lock that makes your opponent surrender)

2. With the higher score. But no matter how many Yukos you have, if your opponent has a Waza-ari, he wins. (Waza-aris are more valuable.)

3. If your opponent is disqualified.   Image: www.judo-ch.jp
