Basic Competition rules:
Two competitors confront each other one-on-one and perform waza (techniques) alternately. They continue as long as each competitor performs a waza as well as the other competitor. When one competitor successfully performs a waza, but the other competitor does not perform the same waza correctly, the successful competitor wins the bout and moves up the competition ladder. Tournaments are carried out according to this rule.
