Approved products WKF (World Karate Federation)
The World Karate Federation (WKF) is the worldwide reference body for karate competitions and defines Official standards for all equipment used in recognised competitions and international events. To ensure that products are safe, functional and compliant with the rules, WKF issues the certification "WKF Approved" to producers who comply with strict quality criteria. Let’s see the main types together WKF-approved products and their characteristics.
1. Karategi WKF
The karategi is the basic uniform for every karate practitioner and must reflect WKF standards, especially in the competitions of Kumite (combat) and Kata (forms).
-
Material and weights
Kumite karategi are generally lighter (about 6-8 oz) to promote speed and mobility, while those from Kata can be heavier (8-12 oz and beyond) to allow a better "snap" (the characteristic impact sound of the fabric) and offer greater resistance to explosive movements. -
Colour
The WKF regulation provides for white as the main colour of karategi. Some details (such as the logo of the brand or the flag/country name) may be present, They must be of a precise size and not conspicuous. -
Fit
The jacket should cover the hips and not be too short or too long. The sleeves, once worn, must reach at least the wrist, but not beyond the base of the fingers. I Trousers must reach at least the malleolus, without exceeding the height of the heel. The right fit allows freedom of movement and a neat look. -
Label "WKF Approved"
The karategi produced by the WKF recognized brands have a special logo or label, usually on the bottom of the jacket (internally or externally) and/or on one of the sleeves. This ensures compliance with official standards.
2. WKF belts
The belt (obi) in karate not only indicates the rank of the practitioner but also contributes to to an orderly appearance of the uniform. In WKF competitions, belt compliance is regulated by For the sake of uniformity.
-
Colour and grades
Athletes in competition wear their own grade belt. In WKF tournaments, they are typically the belts blue and red for the two athletes who face each other (in the Kumite), For the Kata you can wear the belt corresponding to the grade (usually black at advanced level). -
Material
WKF Approved belts are made of cotton or cotton and polyester blend, with adequate strength To prevent them from becoming crumbly or losing consistency during use. -
Length
When tied, the belt should have two flaps of similar length hanging down the sides. The general rules suggest that the flaps should not be longer than 30 cm. -
Label "WKF Approved"
The approved belts also show logo "WKF Approved" usually near the end.
