SPANISH karate CADET CHAMPIONSHIPS - and WKF face mask




In these Championships has taken place the first reported use of the new WKF Face Mask. The WKF Medical Commission Chairman Mr. Rafael Arriaza and a team of collaborators attended the event and supervised all the operations in relationship with the Face Mask, between them the selection of the right size for each athlete.
The results have proved to be 100% satisfactory. Following we show some of the statistics taken.
NUMBER OF BOUTS 219
NUMBER OF FACE CONTACTS WHERE THE REFEREE STOPPED THE BOUT : 177
NUMBER OF TIMES THAT THE REFEREE CALLED THE DOCTORS : 8 (4,5 % OF THE 177 CONTACTS)
FROM THESE 8 CONTACTS, ALL 8 WERE JUST SIMPLE MARKS LEFT BY THE SILICON REBORDE; THE BOUTS CONTINUED NORMALLY.
