What is Hansoku-chui in Karate?

The final warning before disqualification — signalling that one more infringement will end the bout. It often changes tactics completely, forcing the offending fighter to fight conservatively.

Example: Sitting on hansoku-chui, he couldn't risk another hard exchange.
