KO-GO RULES / ITKF

 

KO-GO Kumite: Definition

Ko-go Kumite is a specific form of Kumite competition which designates competitors as either Offense or Deffense at the start of each match. 

Ko-go umite follows General Kumite Rules with the following exceptions:

1. Procedure
2. Operation of Competition
3. Judging operation
4. Violations and Penalty
5. Terms and Signals


Procedure
Competition is divided into six matches. Each competitor is designated "offense" three times and must initiate attack. The other competitor is designated "defense" and must respond to the attack. 
Remark: AKA (Red) side attacks first and attacks three times in a row, followed by SHIRO (White) side. 

On elimination chart: AKA is placed on top, SHIRO is placed on bottom or AKA on right side of chart, SHIRO on left side of chart. 

Each match is completely independent. Penalty is not carried over to the next match. 
In cases of HAN-SOKU, SHI-KKAKU, Doctor's Stop or Withdraw, no more matches take place. Opponent is declared the winner. 

Winner is determined by calculating total score. 

In case of a tie (when the points are equal), then the KETTEI-SEN match takes place in which each competitor attacks and defends three times, but this time, alternately initiating the attack, beginning with AKA (Red) side. In case one side scores "WAZA-ARI" or "IPPON”, then that side is declared winner. If no "WAZA-ARI" or "IPPON” then total score determines winner. If score is still tied, then the court judges decide on the winner by TSU-MAE decision


Operation of Competition - SHU-SHIN operation
SHU-SHIN first announces "offense" side by showing with left hand to the athlete's left side position AKA: 

This is repeating with two fingers for the second attack (NI-KAI) and after that, the third time, three fingers for the third attack (SAN-KAI).

These commands are performing in one smooth movement of hand.

"Offense" side:

  1. Must begin attack within 10 seconds after HAJIME. After 1 0 seconds and no attack is initiated, this is recognized as JIKAN. 
  2. When "offense" side's leading hand comes within estimated touching distance of Defense" side's leading hand; then "offense" side cannot hold both hands more than 45 down or hide both hands behind body line. If so, this is recognized as KAKUSHI. 
  3. Limited to maximum four techniques including feint and break-balance technique. 
  4. After last technique and "Defense" side blocks and counterattacks, "offense" side can shift or block and counterattack only one time

"Defense" side:

  1. Can only initiate technique after "Offense" side physicals begin the attack. Any physical movement used as a feint or faking attack from "Offense" side is recognized as initiating attack. Verbal sound without physical movement is not recognized as an attack. 
  2. If "Defense” side's initiates technique before "Offense” side attacks: this is recognized as SAKI.
  3. If attackers side leading hand can touch opponent's hand (touching distance) then, there is no need for "Defense" side to wait for actual "Offense" side to initiate defensive counter. In this case, "Defense" side can, in place, without body shifting block the "Offense" side's leading hand and then initiate contra attack. 
  4. Counter attack must be continuous after blocking or shifting.
