“Random Attacks” is a form of competition were the contestants don’t fight against each other but will demonstrate their self defence skills on random attacks from their partner. The attacks will be determined by the Referee.

Speed of reaction in combination with the execution of a good and efficient technique will decide the result of the contest. The contestant doesn’t know in advance which attack will come. On signal from the Referee the partner will execute one of 40 attacks.

• Two pairs will compete again each other and the defender will be judged.
• The officials will assign a red belt and white belt to each pair.
• Each pair has an attacker and defender
• The competition table calls the attackers to be given the attack from a picture or drawing
• The attackers return to their positions on the mat.
• The Referee will then instruct one of the attacker to attack.
• The number of attacks is tournament- and age dependent
• When the Judges are asked for a decision they will raise on signal from the Referee “Hantai” the relevant flag (red of white).

Profit and loss is through flags (red & white) announced. The candidate with the most flags is the winner. Outside the responsiveness, variation and technical skills, the jury will also take the realistic execution in consideration.
