Ippon should be clear, clean, and immediate.

None of this "continuation of momentum" / rolling ippons.

It mostly Depends on the weight category. -66? Sure, clear, clean, immediate. +100? Nah, they are WAY TOO HEAVY to only rely on that. It's okay to give them a little of this continuation of momentum

The big guys tend to hit big throws though. It’s smaller weightclass players who go after a lot of run through drop Seoi, gator rolling Kata Guruma and stop start sacrifice throws.
