Ippon ippon

Judo is another exciting sport to watch. It is a 5 minutes match between two participants and there is sometimes moments where each participant drags each other holding on to the sleeves or trying to grab their hands but all aiming to execute the technique to bring down the opponent. It is about the timing and the balance. When one saw that timing and seized the opportunity that is where it becomes exciting as one will move with speed to get the person down and the other struggles to maintain stability. Ippon is when one of the participant falls on his/her back. When one scores an Ippon, the person instantly won the match.
