NEARLY 300 MEMBERS!
We currently have nearly 300 members in Quebec in 5 schools in the Greater Montreal area. You can communicate directly with the instructors if you wish to have more information or participate in a trial lesson.
THE KOSHIKI SYSTEM
The Koshiki competition system has two components: kata and combat (shiai)
In kata, participants are scored according to a list of 10 pre-established criteria. A score up to of 5 is given for each of them according to their mastery.
In combat, we use equipment comprising a helmet with a polycarbonate visor and a chest guard that allow us to use full-power strikes while limiting the risk of injury.
OUR TOURNAMENTS
In competition, participants can use various techniques such as: punching, kicking, elbowing, knees. Swipes and throws are also permitted on padded surfaces. The winner is the one who will have accumulated the most points (waza-ri) at the end of the fight or who will have scored a full point (ippon) according to the criteria established by the regulations.
