Overview of our WKF forms or Kata disciplines
Dear friends in traditional martial arts!
As everybody know, our next European Championship is coming up in June 22nd to 29th 2025 in Chisinau, Moldova.
Today we have 6 categories for forms / Kata / poomse / Hyong / Taolu / musical creative etc.
To avoid any mistake or misunderstandings on the tatami or mat, we would like to remind you kindly one more time to read carefully the online WKF rule book for forms.
To see what is a WKF recognized traditional form, have a look here for Japanese and Korean forms.
What are the dress codes? When does the timer start e.g. for traditional forms with and without weapons ? Any traditional form / Kata / Taolu etc. can be customized, but it still has to be recognizable. From our official WKF recognized list and a traditional Japanese or Korean form or Kata!
In creative and freestyle: also compiled (with parts of existing forms) form using traditional techniques is permitted. What is the time limit in creative forms and soft style forms?
Traditional Forms must be using traditional moves only. A traditional Form / Kata / Pommse / Hyong / Taolu 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 all creative forms are just the division 4 and 5 creative forms with music, with and without weapon.
We thank you for the cooperation so far and wish all of us many traditional participants and a successful
