SINGLE APPLAID CATEGORY LIGHT VERSION

The light version is a demonstration of various protection options against a sudden, previously unknown attack demonstrated by Referee of buttle, with the most adequate (accurate and competent) work of Uke.

Nage's goal is to executive a dynamic, efficient and spectacular technic.
The purpose of Uke is to provide insurance adequately to the nage movement.

1. The procedure for conducting competitions in the light version of the single applied category.
1.1. In the light version, athletes demonstrate techniques from certain attack groups corresponding to their age category:
In the 10-12 years old category - from front grabs.
In the category of 13-15 years old, rear grapples, punches, and work from an armed tanto opponent are added.
In the category of 16-18 years old, kicks, work from an opponent armed with jo and boken, as well as work from grappling with his eyes closed (blindfolded) are added.
The "19 +" categorie demonstrate all permitted techniques against all permitted attacks.
1.2. The types of attacks in each of the rounds are determined by Referee's College immediately before the start of the competition.
1.3. It is recommended that: in the semifinals of the three older age categories, demonstrate techniques for defending against the attacks of an armed opponent; in the finals of the three older age categories, in addition to all other permitted types of attacks, blindfolded techniques for defending against grabs.
1.4. The referee shows attacks in any sequence, attacks can be repeated.
1.5. By the decision of Referee's College, defensive actions with classical restraints can be replaced by kokyu-nage sections or painful and suffocating techniques in the rack.
1.6. When performing the kokyu-nage section, the hold is not performed. When performing the section of painful techniques and suffocating in the stance, the throw is not performed.
1.7. Before each round, Referee's College determines in which format athletes fight: either in the format of a "single technical action" or in the format of a "combination of two technical actions" ("bundles").
The "one technical action" format assumes a clear, maximally fast and effective implementation of one technique, ending with the performance of retention.
The "bundle" format involves demonstrating control over an opponent by performing two techniques in a row.
A "bundle" is a combination of techniques that is performed at two tempos with a transfer from one technique to another. Example: ikke – ude-garami, nike – kote-gaeshi, sanke–koshi-naga.
In the "bundle" format, the hold must be performed after the second technical reception.
When performing the "bundle", the first of the techniques must be performed completely, i.e. the opponent must be thrown off balance and there must be a real possibility of going into hold.
1.8. In the event that an athlete (uke) moves to the holding position (self-falling) on his own initiative during the first technical reception, a defeat is counted for him in this round.
1.9. During performances in the singles "from the front grips", the participants are positioned facing each other at arm's length. The referee controls the required distance.

1.10. "Front grips":
1) Kosa dori;
2) Gyaku hanmi katate dori;
3) Ryote dori;
4) Morote dori;
5) Kata dori;
6) Rio kata dori;
7) Moona dori.

1.11. Uke (attacking athlete) immediately conducts the attack shown by Referee. Nage (athlete working in defense) must quickly and effectively demonstrate any of the permitted techniques.
1.12. The attack must be carried out realistically and clearly. While waiting for an attack, athletes must be in a certain position: feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, arms bent at the elbows no more than 135 degrees.
1.13. Grips are performed along the shortest trajectory, with any hand, without "twitching" (additional deceptive movements) with the body or the second hand.
1.14. When performing a striking technique, the hand movement begins to be performed immediately, synchronously with the step of the same or opposite named foot forward. Chudan or jodan tsuki are performed along the shortest trajectory.
1.15. To perform yokomen uchi, the athlete must raise his arm at the first pace and turn his hand palm up, then strike.
1.16. To perform shomen uchi, the athlete performs a swing at the first tempo, the brush must be above his head, then performs a kick.
1.17. The end of the stroke must coincide with the end of the forward step, at which the athlete must be in a stable position.
1.18. In case of incorrect (insufficiently technical) execution of an attack, for example, if an athlete performs a jump attack, or a yokoman performs an agi as a direct hit, the Referee announces the first warning – chukoku.
1.19. In case of repeated incorrect attack, the Referee announces a second warning - keikoku.
1.20. The third warning – hansoku chui means disqualification of the participant in this match.
1.21. If the referee or the senior referee considers that the attack was carried out too aggressively, with anger and a desire to cause injury, the senior referee, by a joint decision with Referee's College, may announce a chukoku – the first warning in the category "Violation of the Rules of competition dangerous to the opponent" or, if Referee;s College considers that the athlete is unable to control his actions, immediately declare Shikoku (disqualification).
1.22. When performing techniques to protect against capture from behind, Nage, at the command of Referee, turns his back to Uke. Referee is also positioned behind Uke.

1.23. "Rear Grabs":
1) Ushiro ryote dori;
2) Ushiro rio kata dori;
3) Ushiro katate dori kubi shime
4) Ushiro eri dori;

1.24. When working from strokes, the distance between athletes increases by one step. The referee controls the required distance.
1.25. When working from impacts in the 13-15 years old category, athletes are allowed limited body contact without heavy uncontrolled impacts.
1.26. When working from punches in categories 16-18 and 19 plus, full contact is allowed on the body, limited contact is allowed on the head.
1.27. If the athlete did not react and missed the attack, but the distance from the fist (palm rib) to the face exceeded 2 cm, the attack, as cleanly executed, is not counted.
1.28. If the attack occurred with contact that did not result in injury, the attack is counted.
1.29. If the attack took place with contact, which led to a minor injury, after which the opponent can continue the fight, the athlete who made contact receives a chukoku (first warning).
1.30. If the attack took place with unintentional contact, due to the fault of the Nage (defending athlete), which led to an injury, after which he cannot continue the fight, his opponent is awarded victory.
1.31. If the attack took place with deliberate contact, due to the fault of Uke (the attacking athlete), which led to an injury after which his opponent cannot continue the fight, Uke, by the decision of the senior referee of the brigade, is declared shikoku (disqualification, with suspension from at least the remainder of these competitions).
1.32. According to the decision of Referee's College, the sections "protection from blows" (kicks or hands), as well as "protection from an attack by an opponent armed with a knife" can be held in two modes: Static and Dynamic.
1.33. When working in Static mode, athletes do not move before the start of the attack.
1.34. When working in Dynamic mode, athletes, at the command of Referee, begin to move. In this case, the Uke (attacking athlete) is given 5 seconds to launch an attack. At this time, he can pull the opponent apart and make deceptive movements to distract and carry out an effective attack. Nage (defending athlete) can also move while maintaining, but not breaking the distance, so that the enemy has the opportunity to attack.
1.35. If in one round one athlete does not have time to make an attack in the allotted 5 seconds, and the other athlete, after changing the initiative, manages to make an attack, then the one who did not make it is counted as a defeat in the round.
1.36. If, according to the decision of referees, Nage (defending athlete) was at a distance too great for the attack (running away from the opponent) during the entire allotted time (5 seconds), the defeat is credited to him.

2. Evaluation of performances in the light version.
2.1. In the light version referees determine the winner by raising the appropriate flags. The winner is determined by a simple majority of votes.
2.2. An athlete competing in the light version, as a rule, must demonstrate three mandatory elements:

1) withdrawal from the line of attack;
2) execution of technical reception;
3) Performing a hold.

or, if athletes compete under Kokyu-nage program, then there are two mandatory elements:

1) withdrawal from the line of attack;
2) performing a technique.

or, if athletes compete according to the program "Painful techniques and strangulation in the rack", then two mandatory elements:

1) withdrawal from the line of attack;
2) performing a hold (painful technique or strangulation).

2.3. When determining the winner in the light version, referees must take into account the "technical level of performance" and the "entertainment" of the technical technique.
2.4. The "technical level of performance" is determined by the following six parameters:

1) reaction speed to an attack;
2) conducting an atemi (possibly several times);
3) the dynamics of the reception;
4) Enemy control;
5) Retention efficiency;
6) the technique of performing the technique (compliance with the principles of Aikido).

If the technical action is performed correctly, the athlete
is awarded one point for each parameter performed.
2.5. The "entertainment" of a technical action is determined by the following four parameters:

1) fighting spirit
2) applied nature
3) artistry
4) optimality

For each evaluated parameter, the athlete is awarded one point.

2.6. If an athlete competing in the single light version has completed a hold before the Referee's command, the hold is not counted.

2.7. When an athlete performs a technical move that is not included in the "List of Permitted Technical Actions", the athlete immediately receives a Keikoku (second warning) and in case of injury, he can be immediately removed from the competition (Shikoku).
2.8. If an athlete starts performing a certain technique, does not finish it on the first attempt, but finishes the technique on the second attempt, either by strengthening the movement, or by adding a hip substitution, or by transferring it to another technique, the technical action is counted without loss of points. If two attempts do not lead to a result, the referee raises his right hand, clenched into a fist, and opens the count to 3 (3 seconds), counting down each second by extending one finger. If an athlete manages to perform a technical action within 3 seconds, two points are deducted from the assessment for the "technical level of performance" (for the lack of "dynamics" and for the lack of "control"). If, after 3 seconds, the athlete has failed to perform a technical action, the reception is not counted and the athlete does not receive a single point.
2.9. When determining the winner, the points for the "technical level of performance" are combined with the points for "entertainment". Thus, the maximum score an athlete can get is 10 points.
2.10. If the points are generally equal, the athlete who has a higher "Applied character" parameter gets the advantage.
2.11. When deciding on the winner in the light version, judges must take into account compliance or non-compliance with sports ethics.

3.3. Non-compliance with the regulations.
3.3.1. A participant who does not enter the tatami after the second official challenge without a valid reason is disqualified and does not receive any place. The decision on whether the reason for being late to the tatami is valid or not is made by the senior referee of the team serving the tatami.

3) The participant performs a technique in an applied form that is dangerous for the opponent, without giving the opportunity to insure himself.
4) The participant performs a technical technique and/or hold more rigidly than is required by the situation.

3.6. A participant who receives two warnings in one bout in the category "Violation of the Rules of competition dangerous to the opponent" goes to the next bout having already received one warning. If the participant does not receive any warnings, his warning received in the previous bout is removed (cancelled).
3.7. A participant who receives three warnings in one bout in one of the categories is disqualified from this bout and the defeat is credited to him.
3.8. If Referee or the senior Referee of the team considers that the technical action (attack, technical technique, hold) was performed too aggressively, with anger and a desire to cause injury, the senior Referee, then, by a joint decision with Referee's College, the senior Referee may declare Chukoku – the first warning in the category "Violation of the Rules of competition dangerous for the enemy."
3.9. The decision at the meeting of the Referee's team is made by a simple majority of votes. Referee on tatatmi participates in the decision-making process. If the votes are equal, the decision for which senior Referee of the brigade voted is made.
3.10. If Referee or the senior Referee of the team considers that the technical action that led to an injury that did not allow the athlete to continue the competition (attack, technical technique, hold) was performed too aggressively, with anger and a desire to cause injury, then, by a joint decision with Referee's College, the senior Referee must declare the athlete's Chukoku disqualification with suspension either from the remainder of these competitions, or from the remainder of these competitions and from subsequent competitions during the calendar year.
Further, the issue of the possibility of an athlete's participation in competitions in this sport is considered by the Referee's Committee of IUAF.
