All participants will fight with full protection – Gloves, shin pads and headgear. These will be on sale at the tournament, or alternatively, these may be purchased through the instructor beforehand.
The tournaments have proved to be very safe and in reality only a bruise might be the worst injury sustained. We supply the headgear.
The full contact karate is meant for all male and female Karateka, up to Purple belt, that are proficient enough and will fight with protection. The 1st three places will receive medals. We will also have a trophy for the Most Spirited Fighter.
The various referees, instructors as well as all helpers must please be at the venue at 07h00.
Spectators are welcome. Entrance fee: R30.00 for adults and R10.00 for children.
