WKC New
for 2012
1.
New team fighting divisions:
This year we will separate the cadets and
juniors into separate team fighting
categories. Our new Team fighting divisions
for both Boys and girls will be:
Kids, 12yrs and under. 3 fighters, -35kg,
-45kg, +45kg
Cadets 13-15yrs - 3 Fighters, any weight
Juniors 16-17yrs - 3 fighters, any weight
2. Two Point Victory rule: This year all point matches must be
decided by a margin of victory, equal or
greater than 2 points. This means that at
the end of the match if the score is tied or
if one fighter is only ahead by 1 point,
then the fight continues until one fighter
is ahead by 2 points. This rule also
replaces and eliminates the current overtime
format of a mandatory 1 minute overtime
period.
3. New Team kata division: This year we will separate the
traditional team kata into Adult Traditional
Team and Junior Traditional Team Kata. Only
Adult competitors can be on the Adult Team
and only Juniors, 17yrs and under, can be on
the Junior Team. The Open Team kata division
remains the same, where a team can consist
of competitors of any age.
4. New Continuous Team Fighting
Divisions:
All team fights both junior and adults are 1
round of 2 minutes.
Men 3 person {-70kg, -80kg, +80kg}
Women 3 person {-55kg, -65kg, +65kg}
Veteran Men {-75kg, -85kg, +85kg}

It is with the deepest regret
and sadness that we inform you
of the death of Deborah

In her too short life she shone
as a beacon of all that was good
and kind. Her dedication to the
sport and devotion to her
students knew no bounds. No one
encompassed the spirit of
martial arts more than Deborah.
She will be so greatly missed by
all who knew her and loved her,
a beautiful person in every
sense of the word.

place on Thursday 15th September
12:00 - Meet at Ian & Deborah's
home - 133 Barnsley Road,
Hemsworth, West Yorkshire, WF9
4PG, where the funeral cortege
will commence (any flowers
should be sent to this address)
13:00 - Service at St Helens
Church, Crosshill, WF9 4PZ.
After which time Deborah's
burial will take place.
This will be followed by a Wake
at the Kinsley Hotel, Wakefield
and a chance for us all to
celebrate the life of the
extraordinary and irreplaceable
Deborah Womersley.
All our sympathy and very best
wishes go to her husband, Ian
and to her children Billy and
Jade.

Addendum to W.K.C. Rules 2010
Light Contact
Infringement in Light
Contact will now be marked in the following
way. To make it easier, all referees
only have to count in threes, ie first
warning, second warning, third warning is
equal to one minus point. Second minus
point, then third minus point is equal to
disqualification.
Once a referee gives a
minus point he cannot go back to giving
warnings. All warnings and minus
points are carried over from round to round
?but not in Team Fighting.

The W.K.C has decided that for the next
three years all competitors start fees at
World Championships will be frozen. So this
year 2009,2010, 2011 the competitors start
fee will remain the same. This is in keeping
with the WKC Value for money?policy and
also in the light of the current world
global financial crisis.
Remember with the W.K.C The competitor
always comes first?
Please keep tuned to this page where if
there are savings to be made without
detriment to the sport, be assured the W.K.C
will be there first and foremost trimming
the costs.
At a recent meeting of the W.K.C council it
was decided
that it would adopt new age limitations on
all categories
at the World Championships.
From today any competitor bases their age
from January 1st each year.
In other words if you qualified in the Kids
section you
stay in that section up to and including the
World Championships. Juniors would stay in
their sections. Everyone stays in their own
age section. Of course
nothing has changed on the weight side. If
you are
over then you go up in to the next section,
but
the age limitation stays the same.
This applies to all W.K.C Disciplines
