Ippon

"one full point") is the highest score a fighter can achieve in a Japanese martial arts ippon-wazari contest, usually kendo, judo, karate or jujitsu.

[1][2] In judo, an ippon may be scored for a throw, a pin, a choke or a jointlock.

This is usually a move that connects cleanly, with good form and with little opportunity for the opponent to defend against it.

[citation needed] A competitor is declared the winner upon achieving a judgment of ippon.

This promotes a flashier style of fighting more suited to a spectator sport.
