Rules for Competitive Judo

Video Transcript

On behalf of Expert Village, I am Angel Perez with Champion Martial Arts in Miami, Florida, and today we are talking about competitive judo. Okay, now obviously in competitive judo, we have rules on the mat that you need to adhere to. I'm going to give you some of the rules. Hopefully you will understand. I already went through the calls--epon, wazadi, yuko, goka. Now I'm going to explain to you when you hear the referee says matai--matai means stop. You stop, and go back to your side. Osaikome means you have a pin, so what you do is you squeeze tighter and you wait until you hear the word matai. Matai again means stop. Sodematai--sodematai means match is over. You?re finished, it's done. Sodemama--sodemama means freeze. If you have your opponent in a pin or in a position where maybe you're going out of bounds, or the referees want to discuss something, they will call sodemama, you stop. And then, at the end of the match, we'll hear, if it's a tie antei--antei means decision, the two judges will decide with a flag and then you will get the decision. The referee will step forward, point to the winner. You will bow, step out, and match over. On behalf of Expert Village, thank you for watching.
