Round-Robin Tournament

"ROUND-ROBIN" mode, a fight where participants are rewarded "with competition practice at the highest level" based on their interactions with the other participants, regardless of winning or losing. A 3 day - competition, training, randori - where karateka challenge each other to discover their potential and limits.

Sen5 Rhein Shiai motto: "Train and fight together - improve together".

Mutual support and sharing experiences motivate participants to achieve goals together and become stronger in the process. Thus, in addition to competition (Shiai), the focus is also on joint training and practice fighting (Randori).

The placements look like in the league system. The pool best reach the intermediate/final rounds. A fighting tournament where the best karate fighters have the opportunity to challenge each other in a final round to see who is the best fighter.

Fighting/Protective Equipment

With compulsory fighting equipment consisting of mouth guards, fist guards, shin guards, groin guards, chest guards, martial artists can increase safety during competitions and training sessions.
