The owner of Pacific Grappler in Okinawa Japan stops in chat about recent rule changes in internal Judo completions.

We ask if they are good or bad for the sport?? The rule changes are:

  • Decision 1: Scoring for actions that, without stopping, are a continuation of techniques. If there is a stop in the action, there is no score.
  • Decision 2: Waza-ari criteria comprises landing on the whole side of the body at 90 degrees or more to the rear, or on one shoulder and upper back. A score will be given for a whole side of the body landing even when the elbow is out. Hip and shoulder position must be considered.
  • Decision 3: Waza-ari criteria comprises landing on the whole side of the body at 90 degrees or more to the rear, or on one shoulder and upper back. A score will be given for a whole side body landing even when the elbow is out.
  • Decision 4: Landing simultaneously on 2 elbows or hands, towards the back, is waza-ari for tori and shido for uke.
