Karate-do is a martial art which emerged in Okinawa, Japan. Originally, it was just a group of techniques that permitted self-defense without weapons other than your hands and feet. Throughout these years it suffered some changes to finally turn into the current sport of Karate.

Karate competition is a sport and for that same reason the dangerous techniques are not allowed. A light, controlled contact is permitted, as long as no injury is caused on the face, head or neck.
Faking an inexistent injury is considered as a severe infraction of the Rules. The competitor who fakes an injury must be sanctioned (SHIKAKU). Exaggerating the effect of a real injury is less severe, but it is, however, considered as misbehaviour. Open handed techniques towards the competitor’s face are forbidden. 
Kumite and/or Kata can take place during a Karate competition. Kumite is held both in individual and team categories. The individual category is divided into categories according to the different weights and ages. A Kumite bout lasts three minutes at senior male individual category and the matches for medals take 4 minutes. For senior female category the bouts will last two and three minutes respectively.
In order to score, a technique must be applied to a scoring area and must be appropriately controlled with regard to the area being attacked.
Scores are as follows:
IPPON: Three points                 WAZA-ARI: Two points                   YUKO: One point
Good form, sporting attitude, vigorous application, awareness (ZANSHIN), good timing and correct distance.

Jodan kicks and any scoring technique delivered on a thrown or fallen opponent. 
WAZA-ARI is awarded for:
Chudan kicks.
