for their black belt. Points can be gained at either gradings
or “point scoring” competitions. For every Ippon
win a player receives 10 points, depending on their age, depends
on the number of points needed. Alternatively they can face
a “line up”, this is where they fight 4 people
consecutively, if they win all their fights they are awarded
their black belt, 1st Dan. The process repeats through to
