first men violated Tsubazeria rule. hit before separated completely.

[@Neriusification]

No, there wasn't a covid rule style separation, so then it's a valid strike.

[@Neriusification]

wow, first men on Taiwan was mengane.

[@林老師-i5g]

What’s wrong with that Taiwanese person?

[@Neriusification]

@@林老師-i5g There is nothing wrong with that Taiwanese person. The first ippon on him, was on the mengane... (I think google translate made a mistake)

[@林老師-i5g]

@@Neriusification I understand what you mean now ,the first ippon definitely was on mengane. but I think the reason the referee raised the flag is the timing of the strike.

[@Neriusification]

@@林老師-i5g Maybe, but "timing" is not a requirement in the shinpan rule book. The sound of the hit is also not good...

[@Corey91666]

Opportunity is part of judging ippon. Mengane isnt datotsu bui (a part to hit for scoring) but can become one if the opponent tries to move the head out of the way. To be fair the kendo of the japanese team is so far ahead in speed, power and skill that it is hard to look good against them. Many kenshi look like beginners against them but many of them are actually high caliber players (not all of them but many) and it shows most notibly in power and composure.
