This competition is being held in honour and in memory of the late Shihan Jacques
Sandulescu. His wife Annie Gottlieb Senpai, as well as Saiko Shihan Daigo Oishi, will be present
as our honoured guests. All information and registration documentation can be found on the

A minimum of 2 participants are required per category. Should only one participant be registered in a given

possible for all participants registered for fighting. Please note that a large discrepancy in the weight of a

form could justify disqualification.

Kata Evaluation System
1. The evaluation system in force at the 2014 BUDO GIANT CHALLENGE is one frequently used in Japan.
It is a system of elimination similarly used for fighting competitions.
2. The 2014 BUDO GIANT CHALLENGE is open to all traditional styles of karate.
3. Kata categories are defined according to the age and belt levels (kyu) of participants.
4. A team of judges is comprised of three, which includes the Head Judge responsible for the competition.
5. Each participant will present themselves to the judges and announce the kata that he/she will perform.
It is not required to announce which kata has been selected prior to the competition.
6. All participants must perform a traditional kata. A traditional kata is a sequence of karate techniques
that is taught and implemented by all members of an organization. It is a required element for a belt
testing. It is not a kata which has been adapted or changed for a specific skill level, individual, or dojo in
an organization.
7. Two participants perform their kata individually and the participating judges decide who proceeds to
the next round by way of a flag system; aka (red) or shiro (white). In order to continue to be ranked in
the specific category, the participant must perform their kata more than once.
8. Traditional katas vary from one style to another. Each participant will be judged on the following
criteria:
- Basic positions
- Kicking techniques
- Punching and Shuto techniques
- Balance and fluidity
- Attitude and intensity
- Speed and control
- Difficulty of the kata
- Kiai
9. Judges also consider the consistency in the execution of techniques. If a participant performs the same
technique repeatedly in his kata and it appears different each time, he/she will be penalized.
