   KOI - W.K.F Competition Rules
New W.K.F Competition Rules with Appendix 10 Available for Download  

 

As Chairman of the European and World Karate Federation Sports Commissions Tommy Morris has been responsible for collating and developing the new rules proposals in collaboration with the President Antonio Espinos Ortueta and EKF and WKF Referee and Technical Committee colleagues.

 
These were approved by the WKF Congress prior to the 15th World Senior Championships in Munich on 11th October 2000. The new rules took effect at all WKF and Continental Union Championships from 1st January 2001.
In Madrid at the 16th World Championships in November 2002 a considerable number of updates to the Rules were approved by the Directing Committee. These updates were in use at the European Junior Championships in Wroclaw, Poland 14-16 February and were distributed to the National Federations on 24th January.

You can download the rules from the WKF web site or you can get them here in Adobe Acrobat portable document format. You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to open them. (If you don't already have it download a free copy from www.adobe.com.)

It should be noted that this is a substantial update and referees and judges will need to spend some time studying them. Note that Version 5.5 is in force as of June 2005 and replaces the earlier Version 5.3a.
