  • Speed of attacks are more important than angle
  • All cuts should be completed within 1 second

Namigaeshi

  • Angle of cuts are more important than length of wara
  • Equal height of both wara after Yokosuihei is important

Mizugaeshi

  • Angle of attacks are important
  • Lower cut is first!

Free Style

  • Any cutting pattern may be used
  • Difficulty of cutting pattern is important
  • A starting score from 0 to 200 should be assigned based on the difficulty of the cutting sequence
