Basic rules

Win your bracket to unlock the next tournament and reach the Sensei challenge.

  • Punch to the body or head: 1 point (Yuko).
  • Body kick: 2 points (Wazari).
  • Head kick, or punch after sweeping an opponent down: 3 points (Ippon).
  • Matches last 30 seconds. An eight-point lead wins immediately.
  • The first uncontested score earns Senshu. Ties use Senshu, then Ippons, Wazaris, and the judges.
  • Block the matching target and manage your stamina. Combos score only their highest successful technique.
