Rising Stars Kumite Training


  • Black Belt Martial Arts Hornsby 6-18 Bridge Road Hornsby, NSW, 2077 Australia (map)

Learn the basic skills for participation in an ‘officially’ scored Kumite Match…

Then have some fun participating in a low-key, friendly scored Kumite match.

Looking to try your skills in an extremely relaxed, informal/casual, safe and friendly kumite match?

Then this is the event for you!

Join our Training Sessions, then attend a class where we match you up with a training partner and ‘score’ your sparring match.

Training Sessions - 6:30pm to 7:30pm

Friday September 19 at 6pm - For All Students (Basic to Black Belt) - Kumite Competition Rules Seminar - find out all about scoring rules (how to score a point, how to stay safe, how competition kumite works).

  • Kumite class for Black Belt Karate Students - Tuesday Sept 30

  • Kumite class for Basic Program Karate Students - Wednesday October 2

Fight Nights! - 8pm to 9pm

Attend the appropriate kumite training class for your program, and then stick around to try out some kumite competition!

Don’t panic - just a friendly, (and super casual) match, where you spar with another student.

Other students and staff will act as referee and judges, and will ‘officiate’/score your round - so you can experience how sparring your sparring techniques work (what scores? what does not?) in competition, to ensure everyone has fun, and to keep everyone safe.
