The Bushido spirit and victory through “Ippon” Although Koshiki Karatedo is a points-based system, a competitor can immediately achieve victory through the execution of an “Ippon”-full point technique. If a contestant scores an “Ippon”, the match is immediately declared over and the contestant is awarded victory. An “Ippon” technique is a technique or combination judged by the referees to be perfectly and powerfully executed, which without the safety equipment would likely have ended the match with the incapacitation of the opponent. Competitors therefore cultivate Bushido spirit by developing their techniques to the highest level, with the goal of achieving a victory through “Ippon”.-full point technique. This rule ensures that the true principles of karatedo as a martial art are an essential part of the competition system of Koshiki Karatedo.
