Traditional Karate Competition
Traditional karate styles like Wado Ryu, Shotokan, Shokukai and Goju Ryu have competitive elements that are displayed by their karateka participating in Kumite. Many traditional styles use competitions to raise awareness and motivate their students using competitive elements. The MALYMPEX Kumite section is well controlled and very limited contact so your karateka can enjoy competing in the Kumite Section.
