In Japanese, kachinuku (勝ち抜&#12367) means to win one game after another and a kachinuki-sen (勝ち抜&#25126 is a tournament.

The closest activity I have seen to this is in Japanese university clubs to celebrate special occasions, like new dan promotions. Occasionally, one person must take on all comers for 30 minutes (10 minutes as uke; 10 minutes as tori etc), and if the partner is senior, then there is much scopr for reverse techniques. Alternatively, one person must taken on the entire club in succession, with, say, 20 or 30 techniques per member (the rest shouting encouragement and counting).

In my experience, local dojos do not do this kind of training: members simply lack the stamina to throw or be thrown continuously for 30 minutes or more.

Best regards to all,
