I fully understand your posts , John
however my post stay correct - on the tatami you may play any set of rules, it just matter of agreement, one punch contest is also available.

Brendan Lai told me that he told a challenger if that challenger could block his single punch, the challenger won. Otherwise, Brendan won.
Sometime competition can be simple. For example, if you can take me down within 2 minutes, you win, otherwise I win. In that 2 minutes, you play offense, I only play defense. IMO, that's still "competition" because you will try as hard as you can to take me down.
