WAZA (Technique)
All JUDO techniques fall into one of the three categories, and each category is further subdivided. The three categories are: NAGE-WAZA (Throwing techniques), KATAME-WAZA /Grappling techniques/ (it comprise OSAE-KOMI-WAZA, SHIME-WAZA and KANSETSU-WAZA) and ATEMI-WAZA /Striking techniques/ it includes the methods of striking (kicking) the opponent’sbody. Only the theory of this technique is studied, as it is never practiced today.
NAGE-WAZA comprises TACHI-WAZA (Standing techniques) and SUTEMI-WAZA (Sacrifice techniques). The action of the hips is important in any TACHI-WAZA, but they are further classified as either TE-WAZA (Hand techniques), KOSHI-WAZA (Hip techniques) or ASHI-WAZA (Foot or leg techniques) depending on which part of the body plays the central role in executing the techniques. SUTEMI-WAZA are called MA-SUTEMI-WAZA (Supine sacrifice techniques) or YOKO-SUTEMI-WAZA (Side sacrifice techniques). The former involve taking a back-on-the-mat position, the latter a side-on-the-mat position.

WAZARI (“technique exist”; near-ippon)
A WAZARI is awarded for a throw that does not quite have enough power or control to be considered IPPON; or for a hold of twenty seconds. A WAZARI is a half point, and, if two are scored, they constitute the full point needed for a win. A Referee term used to imply that some technique exists but not to the extend of warranting a full point or IPPON. (See Sec.INTERNATIONAL JUDO FEDERATION CONTEST RULES, Article 23 and 8/2).
WAZA-ARI AWASETE IPPON
Two waza-ari equal one ippon.Verbal command used by Referee to indicate completion of scoring one point by adding incomplete techniques. (See Sec INTERNATIONAL JUDO FEDERATION CONTEST RULES, 21 and 8/3)

WEIGHT CATEGORIES
They were introduced for the OLYMPIC GAMES in 1964. Until then World Championships were open to all weights in one category, but starting with the Tokyo Olympics 3 weight categories (-68kg, -80kg, +80kg) were introduced in addition to the open category The categories (classes) were expanded to 6 for the 1972 Olympics, and 8 for the 1980 Olympics. In 1992 the open weight category was dropped from the Olympics so there are currently 7 weight categories for both men and women in the Olympics. In 1998 the weight classes were changed to the following: female categories are: up to 48kg, 52kg, 57kg 63kg 70kg, 78kg, and above 78kg ; male categories are: up to 60kg, 66kg, 73kg, 81kg, 90kg, 100kg, and above 100kg.
