Men, kote, dō, tsuki
Every ippon, by its strike
You tick the strikes you scored and, apart, the strikes you received. The score counts in ippons, and a draw is possible.
-
- On time
- Encho
- Judges' decision (hantei)
- Hansoku (ejection)
4 ways to end a bout
On time, encho, hantei or hansoku: you tick how the bout ended, alongside the score. The logbook then counts your wins for each ending.
-
- Sanbon-shobu (2 ippons, 5 min)
- Ippon-shobu (1 ippon)
- Benjamins (2 ippons, 2 min 30)
- Minimes (2 ippons, 3 min)
- Cadets (2 ippons, 4 min)
- Kata (judged, no score)
- …
8 formats, from sanbon-shobu to judged kata
Two ippons in five minutes, or a single one in ippon-shobu; the youth categories have their own times, from 2 to 4 minutes. A judged kata is logged without a score, and jigeiko has its own format.
-
- Tachi no kata (seven forms) · 7
- Kodachi no kata (three forms) · 3
10 forms of kata, one by one
Tachi no kata and kodachi no kata are named form by form, at the grading, in a session or in competition. The list stays open.
-
- 3 kyu
- 2 kyu
- 1 kyu
- 1 dan
- 2 dan
- 3 dan
- 4 dan
Your grade, from 6th kyu to 8th dan
14 steps, each with its date: the grade sheet says when the next dan can be presented. And 13 other rankings, the Japanese federation’s, those of federations in other countries and the honorary titles (shōgō).
-
- Senpo (1st)
- Jiho (2nd)
- Chuken (3rd)
- Fukusho (4th)
- Taisho (5th)
- Daihyosha (deciding bout)
6 team positions, from senpo to daihyosha
In a club team championship, you record the position you hold in each bout, and the daihyosha for the deciding bout. Matchdays are logged one by one, at home or away.

Tap a bar, a slice or a point: the bouts behind it open up. And every figure says how many bouts it is based on.
A team bout, from the matchday to the position held
Here a team bout, edited in a few taps under the kendo emblem: the stage, the form, how it ended, the strikes scored and the position held.
Chuken (3rd)- The phase: the pool, a round of the direct elimination, or the numbered matchday of the championship, with its counter.
- The form of practice, shiai or kata, and the end of the bout: on time, encho, hantei or hansoku.
- The strikes scored, one tap each: men, kote, dō or tsuki.
- The position held in the team, from senpo to taisho, and the daihyosha for the deciding bout.
From keiko to the tournament, up to the team matchday
Each line gives the result and, in short, the form, the end of the bout and the strikes; for a keiko, the day’s work, the number of jigeiko and the instructor.
- Each bout carries its round: the pool of the tournament, the direct elimination, or the numbered matchday of a team championship.
- A draw counts apart in the record, like a win and a loss.
- Gradings, passed or not passed, with the grade presented.
- A keiko without a result stays out of the bout record, even with a named partner.
One date and one duration, that is all
A keiko counts with its date and its duration; the day’s work, the number of jigeiko and the instructor come when you feel like it.
Category and place, set once
The category, from Poussins to Excellences, women’s included, is taken from the event automatically and suggests the length of the bout. The competitors entered and your final place are noted once for the competition, whatever the number of bouts.
