 About the Game


The karatedo event includes Kumite matches and Kata competition.

Kumite matches:
Two players fight with each other with manuevers such as tsuki, uchi, ate, keri, and uke, mainly using the hands and legs. The fighting time is 3 minutes for men and 2 minutes for women. To prevent injury, all manuevers must be stopped all immediately before players hands or legs touch the opponents body.
The player who gains 3 points first (3 whole points, 6 half-points or 3 points comprising whole and half-points) wins the match. When the match is unsettled within the specified time, victory goes to the player with the most points in the match.
Weight classes
Men: -55kg, -60kg, -65kg, -70kg, -75kg, +75kg
Women: -53kg, -60kg, +60kg

Kata competition:
A player is required to perform a routine of kata (form) of offense, defense, and conterattack against an imaginary enemy accurately, powerfully, and gracefully. The ranking is decided based on score. There is no weight limit.
