Random Attacks

Ongar Jikishin Ju Jitsu Club has a number of students who practice and enjoy training and competing for Random Attacks. At Ongar Jikishin Ju Jitsu Club we plenty of mat room for practice. We regularly have practice sessions with students pitting their skills against their contemporaries in simulated competition. it is good practice and for competition and the street. Random Attacks are particularly good for testing your skills out in a competitive, but non combative environment.

Rules for Random Attacks are relatively simple - there are a given number of attacks, from 8 for White and Yellow Belts, to 40 for Black Belts. The attack may incorporate a weapon (knife or club), be a strike, kick, grab, or strangle. The competitors stand on the mat area as per the illustration below. The same Random Attack is given to each Attacker, who must stand with their right hand behind their back, to conceal a weapon if there is one. At the call of the referee, each competitor will be attacked, and the judges will score the defence according to set criteria. At the end of 3 attacks, the competitors face the judges for a decision, and the winner goes through to the next round.
