One Time Attack Event

The one time attack event (Kihon Ippon Kumite) is judged similar to kata. The two competitors alternate their attacks, and at the end the referees will vote by flags for the competitor who had better performance.

The sequence of actions for this event is as follows:

  1. Red side attacks first.
  2. Both competitors stand in ready position (Shizen-Tai).
  3. Attacker takes distance, and steps back with downward block (gedan barai), while the defender stays in ready position (shizen-tai).
  4. Attacker announces the target, and the type of attack (e.g. "Jodan Oi-tsuki" or "stepping punch to the face").
  5. Defender acknowledges the attack with "Ossu." Before this acknowledgment, the defender is allowed to adjust the distance, if he or she doesn't feel safe at the attacker's chosen distance.
  6. The attacker then executes the attack, using a full step technique.
  7. The defender steps away from the attack, blocking the technique and immediately following with a counter attack.
  8. The competitors then change roles, and repeat the same attack.

The following are the attacks for the white and yellow belt divisions:
