In the case of a draw during an ippon kumite match between contestants in which the kyu ranks are beginner to 7th kyu the referee shall
instruct the contestants to repeat ippon kumite as above, but red side (aka) attacks with the left side first. In the case of a draw during
an ippon kumite match between contestants in which ranks of 6th kyu to 4th kyu are involved, the referee shall instruct the contestants

distract the opponent shall be given a warning. Upon a second instance the contestant shall be disqualified.

different area than that which was announced, that contestant shall be given a warning. A second violation shall lead to
disqualification.

any technique below the waist; nukite to the face or neck; wristlocks, joint manipulation or any technique aimed at a joint;

attack technique or step back out of counterattacking distance.
The offensive side cannot block counterattacking techniques or avoid them by body shifting (must maintain attack posture).
