OVERVIEW
The competition will include: Kata (demonstration of technique); Kumite (sparring); and Demonstration events. The Kumite is ‘light-contact’ with all forms of Martial Arts competing on equal terms.

Kata consists of a progressive round by round elimination, while Kumite is intended to attract all styles of Martial Arts.  The latter is unlike any traditional competition and it is designed to enable participants to compete on equal terms. Sparring is strictly light-contact with progress occurring via round by round elimination, with a repechage for those eliminated.

Standard or School specific Martial Arts uniform required to be worn during the competition. Those participating in Kumite must wear a mouth guard, in addition to fist, shin and instep protectors.  Headgear optional but recommended. Equipment may be available for use by those participants not in possession of protective gear.

Events may be divided into belt and/or experience levels to ensure equity in the competition.  Events offered are subject to change at the discretion of Games Management.  All entries subject to vetting by the Sport Coordinator.

This year, for the first time, Demonstration events are offered for Weapons and for miscellaneous events such as Choreographed self defence or discipline specific demonstration. This opens up an opportunity to display unique or discipline specific demonstrations for those not intending to compete in the Kata or Kumite.

Rules to be supplied at player meeting prior to the commencement of competition.

Two Individual age categories will apply
Open and 35+
