Tanto Randori

Duration of Tanto Randori Tournament.

A fight consists of 2 parts. Each fight lasts a minute and a half (except breaks). One wrestler is unarmed the other one is armed with a rubber knife.

After the first part of the fight wrestlers swap roles and an unarmed wrestler receives a rubber knife. It is allowed to shift a knife from one hand to another only during a break. If tsuki ari and a technique, which gets yuko, waza ari or ippon occur simultaneously, tsuki ari is at an advantage.

Calculating Points:

 

Ippon 4 points	Shido (warning) -0,5 points
Waza ari 2 points	Chui (penalty point) -1 point
Yuko 1 point	Hansoku make (disqualification) -8 points
Tsuki ari 1 point

 

If a wrestler gets 8 penalty points it is equal to Hansoku make (i.e. defeat on a foul).

When one wrestler loses on a foul and a game ends with Hansoku make, the winner always gets 8 points and the loser gets 0 points.
