I've just learned that the same weekend as my own Shotokan National Tourney, there's an ITKF tourney occuring. I might check it out when I'm not competing...anyone know anything about the ITKF, or their tournaments?

It's the International Traditional Karate Federation. Here is a link to their website: http://www.itkf.org/ I am thinking it is similar to the JKA.

You're welcome. I guess no one on this forum is part of that org. I'll send them an email and get some information. I'll post it here for anyone interested

I am ITKF, under Nishiyama Sensei. What sort of specifics do you want to know?
I am waaaay out of the competition scene due to college, marriage, kids, and life. But trained and competed ITKF quite some time in the early 90'
s
ITKF in general is Ippon Kumite...You will see a lot more scrutiny on weak techniques, as in...no tip-tap crap. If you throw a punch, your stance better be solid, and you better be within an inch or three of your target area or it will be ruled weak. Withdrawing side better be there, no flailing kicks, etc. I've competed both WUKO(old org I think) and ITKF and we always hated competing WUKO because we would get points scored on us with techniques we wouldn't even attempt to block in ITKF. It's a very different ball game.
Most ITKF tournaments also have kata and Enbu competitions.
Anything else?? |

That sounds very similar to the regulations I'm used to for the ISKF. That is very helpful information, thank you very much.  As for additional questions I do have a couple.
1. What are the categories? e.g. adult brown, adult black, youth etc.
2. What are the typical fees?
3. Is there anything unique to the etiquette?
4. Do they have a standard ruleset/tournament guideline I can check out online?
5. Do you recommend a particular person to contact in Canada where I can verbally (or email) chat with on this tournament?
If you have any tips on their judging, techniques, etc then I'd be very thankful as well.
Thanks

Scoring is based on Nishinformation.
To score a point both feet must be firmly on the floor. I have seen perfect yaku-tsuki that don't score at ITKF tournaments because the attackers heel comes off the ground when they put their hip into the punch.
Same with the lead leg, dont spring into the punch. It would have to be firmly planted.
It almost has to look like one steps, looks strong in actuallity is very weak.
No kizami-geri please. |
