Introduction to WAKO Kickboxing Scoring

Спорт

Have you ever wondered how WAKO Kickboxing bouts are scored?
WAKO uses an Open and Cumulative scoring system that is very different than the '10-9 Must System' that most U.S. athletes are accustomed to competing under. Some athletes don't care for this system when they first learn about it, but after they see it in action and experience it in competition, they end up enjoying it. Cumulative & Open Scoring is very fan friendly and it makes for some exciting bouts.
In this video, WAKO Team USA Kickboxing Head Coach, Chris Cichon discusses what it is scored and what is not under WAKO rules. He also shows a sample WAKO bout with graphics that show in real-time what Judges 1, 2, and 3 are giving awarding points for during the bout.
Please use this video as a training tool to prepare mentally and physically for what it takes to be successful at WAKO events.

    I was surprised none of those knees scored. Were they simply not clean enough?

    22:39 how can it be that 1 kick made the scoring change so much? I've thought 2 judges having him in front with 1 point. So if the other guy score 1 it should be even, instead of him being behind by just losing 1?

    Or did the both the right hand and the inside kick score, 2 points in 1 combination?

    This is an awesome question! Thank you! Under WAKO rules, in the case of a draw, the electronic scoring system automatically awards the decision to the fighter that scored more points in round 3. With the situation you point out, the fight is 1-2 in favor of the blue corner, but if you look below the time clock you can see each individual judge’s score. In actuality, Judge #2 has the fight a draw at that moment, but the system has broken that draw in favor of Red because Judge #2 has scored more points for red in this third round. A little later a single kick is scored. This brings Judge #2’s scorecard from even to +1 Red. It also brings Judge #1’s scorecard from +1 Blue to even; but as Jude #1 has also scored more points in this final round for Red, the tie-breaker is automatically given to Red. This creates the 2-1 Red score. At 23:10 there is a brief moment where the score becomes 3-0 Red, however 2 of the judges have their score tied. Again, this is a very unique situation and we greatly appreciate you bringing attention to it, and helping us to share knowledge with our athletes, coaches, and fans.

    @@fightingformula Thanks for the detailed video, and your great answer to my question. Makes sense!! Please make more videos, like the one with the sidestep/juke. Very great explanation, good technique, hoping for more! We might know the technique, but there is much more to it always. Do you have any favorite combinations, way to utilize angles, tips for mindset and confidence? Hope to see more videos in the future!💪🏼🥊 I'm gonna face a former 2x World champion soon in K1, i feel like the room for error is getting so small. I know to move my head of line, and use feints but it's hard when you are not tall and your opponent is waiting to fire combo all the time. Any tips on getting closer or way to punch without getting countered? Feints, hands up, but maybe you have learn some small things that have worked for you. Sorry messy text, im from Europe 😁
