Karate Competetion
Karate kumite competition is taken by Referee, Judges, Arbitrator, Scorer and Time keeper. The Referee has the main role in the competition. He will give points in gestures and japanease language. I have given some important gestures with explanations to show the karatekas. The place in which kumite competition take place is Bout. Bout is in 8 Square meters. The safety area 2 meter, is also made around the bout. Kumite participants are divided into two groups namely Aka and Shiro. Thease groups will be in 1.5 meter away from the Bout center point. Referee will stand 2 meter away from center point. Red belt will be given to Aka and White belt will be given to Shiro. Aka will be in right side to the referee and Shiro will be in left side.
