KOBUDO RULES
1.
These rules shall govern Kobudo competition at all Karate BC tournaments. At the time of drafting, these
tournaments include the Spring Provincials, Fall Provincials, Open Tournament and Northern/Winter Games.
2.
Other rules may be substituted for these rules at tournaments which are sanctioned by Karate BC, with the exception of Rule 5,
which is required to be followed at all tournaments sanctioned by Karate BC.
3.
As far as applicable, the Kata Rules of the World Karate Federation shall apply to Kobudo competition. These
include, for example, the provisions governing:
competition area
official dress
the judging panel
criteria for decision
4.
The weapons which can be used in kobudo competition are only those which were traditionally used in Okinawan
kobudo.
5.
No weapon which is a prohibited weapon pursuant to the Criminal Code may be used in competition at any Karate
BC tournament or any tournament sanctioned by Karate BC. This includes, for example, hard nunchaku (as
opposed to foam nunchaku) and any form of brass knuckle.
6.
There is no requirement that the kobudo kata performed be selected from a list of recognized kata.
7.
All officials who are recognized by Karate BC as qualified kata judges are automatically recognized as qualified
kobudo judges.
8.
These rules shall take effect immediately upon adoption by the Board of Karate BC. If the Officials Committee of
Karate BC adopts new Kobudo Rules prior to September 1, 2005, those rules shall automatically replace these rules,
as long as they contain a provision substantially similar to Rule 5.
Please note:
In the Elite divisions the Provincials is the first step in qualifying for the Nationals and the National Team.
So athletes wishing to
qualify for the Nationals and National Team need to compete in the divisions they will
be in as of the dates of those events.
Competitors in Elite divisions may register in more than one age category provided their birth dates allow it. For example; a competitor
who is 15 at the Provincials but would be 16 before the Junior Pan-Ams is allowed to compete in the 14/15 divisions and the 16/17 elite
divisions. Competitors are not allowed to compete in an intermediate division and an elite division in the same category. Competitors
cannot do intermediate kumite and elite kumite at the same Provincials. However, they could do intermediate kata and elite kumite or
vice versa.
