Power Rules

KIDS POWER PUNCH (Gup grades only, under 15 years)

This is a competition of elimination. Starting with say 8 students facing numbered identical small pads held by fingertips.  All 8 student punch at once and we watch and wait until all pads come to rest.  Then the student whose pad travels the least distance is eliminated and another round commences until a winner is found.  Students commence each round from L stance forearm guarding block and execute reverse punch - no running or jumping to punch. In competition the students that hold the pad also retrieve it for the competitor.  The mitts used will be similar to boxing focus mitts (for single hand).

ADULTS POWER KICK (Gup grades, 15 and over)

The winner is the adult who can break the most boards with a single kick of your own choice. 2 attempts are allowed (must be the same kick). For example, you could attempt a 6 board back kick and be unsuccessful, so then attempt to 5 boards on your 2nd attempt. There will be separate divisions for men and women and in different weight divisions, open to adults any rank.

Black belts compete with normal ITFNZ rules for Power. Techniques are: Knifehand (elbow for juniors), Side kick and turning kick
