GENERAL ELEMENTS
The evaluation of every technique of Kata has to consider the principle and the opportunity of
execution: the evaluation (included the open and close ceremony) has to be comprehensive.
Definition of mistakes:
• Forgotten technique
An omitted technique will score zero and in addition the total final score of the Kata couple will be
halved. If more than one technique are forgotten the score for that technique will also be zero but
the total final score for the couple will not be halved again. Finally, if the halved total final score is
not a whole number then the score will be rounded up.
• Big mistake
When the execution of the principle is incorrect (5 points are deducted and the maximum number of
crosses is 1)
• Medium Mistake
When one or more elements of the principle are not applied in the correct way (3 points are
deducted and the maximum number of crosses is 1).
• Small mistake
Imperfection in the application of the technique (1 point is deducted and the maximum number of
crosses is 2).
For every technique without a big mistake, the minimum score has to be 5.
In the Nage no Kata, right and left techniques will be evaluated comprehensively (only one score).
Score of Fluidity, course and rhythm removed.
