WKF Japanese Hardstyle forms
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?
WKF Korean Hardstyle forms
Any traditional form may be adapted, it is still a traditional form. Also compiled (with parts of existing forms) form using traditional techniques is permitted.
All traditional Forms must be using traditional moves only. A traditional Form / Kata / Pommse / Hyong 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!
For creative forms is just the division creative forms with music, with and without weapon.
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.
WKF want to thank you for co-operation and wish you a successful European Championship 2025 in Moldova in June
