The source material comprised digital record`s of matches, which enabled secondary and direct analysis with multiplied repetition and stoppage of recording. Results In both tournaments, points score decided about the result of majority of matches. The most commonly technical activities used were takedowns. On this basis, no significant differences were identified in structure of duel`s settling, and the most dominant way of victory was winning in regular match time.

Another crucial determinant of victory is ability of fast reaction to opponent`s activities (counterattack), that confirms the high number of takedowns performed by competitors in lower weight categories.
