60 Years of WKF

Request  today for your country USERNAME and PASSWORD !

 

To avoid any misunderstandings on the mat or Tatami, we would like to ask you kindly one more time to read carefully the WKF rule book for forms.

Today we have 6 categories for forms. Please register always your national team for FORMS referees as well !

To see what is a traditional form, have a look in the two lists of forms.

What are the dress codes?

When does the timer start e.g. for traditional forms with and without weapons ?

What is the time limit in creative forms or soft style forms ???

Any traditional form may be adapted, it is still a traditional form. Also compiled, with parts of existing forms, using traditional techniques is permitted.

All traditional Forms must be using traditional moves only.

Any traditional Form / Kata / Pommse / Hyong / Taolu etc. must resemble a traditional work, an adaptation will be acceptable if added moves are of a traditional nature. Any so called “allstyle” form is not a traditional one!

Once again I kindly ask you read the rule book for forms – available in 4 languages! There you will find exactly what is a traditional form, where is a time limit, what is a creative form and so on.

I want to thank you for co-operation and wish you a successful World Championship in 2024 in Spain.
