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. 2014 Budo Giant Challenge Rules for the “semi-contact” and “semi-knockdown” fighting 1.
