Rules for Kosen Division of the USJA

1. Matches will start standing.


2. Standing attacks with leg grabbing are permitted.
3. Guard pulling (hikikomi) is permitted—not to be mistaken for guard jumping or bjj-
style sitting guards without grips.
4. All gripping types and grip breaking techniques are permitted, including two-handed
grip breaking.
5. Competitors will only be stood up if both are entangled in some form of guard with
neither one attempting to improve their position, or if one competitor is left on the mat
after the other has stood up and completely disengaged from ne-waza.
It will be scored in the following manner:
Ippon will be scored for:
1. Submissions (chokes and armlocks)
2. 20s pins
Waza-ari will be scored for:
1. High impact throws that would normally reach the standard of ippon.
2. 10s hold downs
*Throws that would normally reach the standard of waza-ari will not be scored.
Waza-ari-awasete-ippon will be in effect and we expect these special scoring rules to
produce a gritty style of action that honors the Kosen tradition and emphasizes the skillful
transition from tachi-waza to ne-waza.
