2. Exit from the competition area (JOGAI) not caused by the opponent.

XIII. JOGAI relates to a situation where a contestant's foot, or any other part of the body, touches the floor outside of the match area. An exception is when the contestant is physically pushed or thrown from the area by the opponent. Note that a warning must be extended for the first instance of JOGAI. The definition for JOGAI is no longer “repeated exits”, but merely “exit not caused by the opponent”. If however, there is less than ten seconds to go, the Referee will, as a minimum, directly impose HANSOKU CHUI on the offender .
