Nage-waza (Throwing techniques) Katame-waza (Grappling technique) Atemi-waza (Attacking Techniques)Atemi-waza is not popular because it is designed to hurt the opponent. The person whoperforms this waza is known as tori and upon whom this waza is applied is known asuke.Nage-wazaIn this technique, the tori tries to throw the uke on the ground. This also involvesvarious stages. The act of balance breaking under this wazas is known as kuzushi.Similarly, the act of turning in and fitting into the ground is known as Tsukuri. The actof successfully executing and throwing upon the ground is termed as Kake.6
JudoKatame-wazaThis process involves the art of holding someone firmly and seizing him. This waza isfurther divided into many categories such as osaekomi-waza (holding technique),shime-waza (act of choking the uke by the tori) and kansetsu-waza(tori tries tomake uke down by manipulating his joint parts).Leg Sweeping TechniquesLeg sweeping is a process in which a player tries to put his opponent on ground using hislegs. Mastering this technique will be very handy for you and it can be a key factor inwinning a match. Here are some cool techniques that you should learn and try.Foot Sweep Step 1: Make the opponent to stepforward towards you. Step 2: Before he steps back, justcatch one of his ankle with your leg. Step 3: Now swift the ankle throughyour leg towards the appropriatedirection and let it go so that he willfall on his back on the ground.7

Judo – ScoringJudoTo score an ippon, one has to throw other on his back with impetus and control.However, if the throwing is done with lesser force then it results in a waza-ari. An ipponor two waza-ari is sufficient to win the match. If the contestant gets successful inthrowing his counterpart side wise then, he/she will be awarded with a yuko. This yukohas no effect until the match ends in tie.At the end of the match, if the scores result in a tie, then golden score rule applies. Inthis rule, the clock is reset to the match time and the first contestant to get any score isdeclared as winner.Judo Rules Regarding ScoringOne full point in judo is otherwise termed as Ippon. The competitor who gets awardedwith one full point or Ippon is declared as the winner of the match. To the contrary a halfpoint is termed as Waza-ari. When two half points are awarded in a match, then it isequivalent to Ippon and the match comes to an end.The smallest score that can be awarded in judo is termed as Yuko. Some scoring pointswere removed by IJF. For example, Koka was introduced as a scoring point in 1975 butwas removed by IJF later in 2008.9
