RULES FOR THE WEAPONS KATA/FORM COMPETITION



(1)Divisions: 
There will be only 2 divisions in the weapon competition; This will be 16 years and under and 17 years and over, there will be no separation of sexes or rank.

In the first round we will do our best to pair up weapons of similar description. 

After that round the nature of the draw will determine which competitor and what weapon each competitor will come up against.  

(2)Judging: Will be done by 5 black belts representing as many styles as possible.

 At the completion of the kata/forms the judges will raise their flag in the direction of whom they feel has performed the better of the two. 

The majority wins.

(3)General Guideline For Judging: Competitors will choose one weapon for the competition and they can perform the same kata/form in each round or they may choose to do a different kata/form with the same weapon. 

 Forms will be no longer than 90 seconds and will be judged on excellence of technique performance, focus and the degree of difficulty. This procedure will continue until we have our 3 place getters.

If in any division the competitor numbers don’t fit into a draw, the organiser has the right to allow a competitor a bye into the next round
