An ippon is awarded for a technique judged as decisive And will win you the copmetition

This is usually a move that connects cleanly, with good form and with little opportunity for the opponent to defend against it.
Kicks to the head of an opponent or judo throws followed up with a strike to the downed opponent are particularly likely to be considered a winning ippon technique.
A competitor is declared the winner upon achieving a judgment of ippon.

Occasionally, shobu nihon kumite is used, in which two decisive strikes or four less-decisive strikes, scored as waza-ari are required for a win.

In many tournaments, sanbon scoring is used.
This promotes a flashier style of fighting more suited to a spectator sport.

More traditional tournaments usually use ippon scoring.
