20th Annual American International
Karate Championships

Real Jujitsu Kumite Overview

All questions regarding Real Jujitsu Kumite should be directed to Sensei John Farrar of Bedroc Judo at (585) 755-5204.  Registration deadline is September 8, 2010.

Competition

Each competition begins in the center of the mat area.  The competitors must show their abilities in each of three areas:  striking with the closed hands or feet (atemi-waza); throws (nage-waza); groundwork (osae-komi-waza).

As soon as one of the competitors makes contact with an atemi, either of them can move into nage-waza.  There must be a strike initiated before moving into throws.  Osae-komi must be proceeded by a throw or takedown.  Once on the floor, competitors can start with groundwork techniques, as atemi is not allowed.
