Note to Karate Competitors
All Karate competitors are required to submit a medical report. This report shall be in two parts. Part A shall be a medical history questionnaire that
each competitor shall complete. Part B shall be a medical examination report to be completed by a licensed physician, and is required of competitors
who have significant health problems as related in Part A. If the answers to part A are all ‘No’, then part B need not be completed.
The medical report must be submitted at the time of registration for a tournament, to the tournament director, for review by the medical director.
The medical director will determine if a competitor is or is not medically fit to compete in Kumite. Please note that no medical examination report is
required of Kata-only competitors.
All competitors should be aware of the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
No tapes, splints or protective equipment may be worn during Kumite matches without the approval of the tournament medical director.
Exceptions are approved protectors, e.g., scrotal protectors, fist protectors, and shin pads. A mouth guard is compulsory for Kumite competitors.
Approved safety sports glasses will be permitted. Athletes who compete in international competitions may not be permitted to use safety sports
glasses, but may be required to use soft contact lenses pursuant to international rules. Regular eye glasses are not allowed in Kumite.
If a competitor is injured during a match and is determined to be medically unable to continue that match, he may not compete in another match
during the same tournament without first obtaining medical clearance from the tournament medical director.
Disqualification following an injury may result in either the injured competitor or his opponent being declared the winner. The circumstances
under which the injury occurred will be considered by the referee and judges in deciding who the winner is.
In the interest of safety, all finger and toe nails must be trimmed short.
No personal jewelry may be worn during Kumite.
All competitors are advised to see their regular physician for follow-up medical examination of injuries suffered during the tournament. It
should be noted that the full extent of some injuries may not manifest themselves until some time following the injury, e.g., abdominal injuries
or head injuries. Hence, anyone who has continuing symptoms or who is concerned about an injury should consult his or her physician.
