what is proper ettiquitte for both kumite and kata? i mean, do you typically say the name of your kata just before bowing in? do you bow first to the judges, then the ref, then your opponet? ect.

I have not been to a tourney in a long time but it was something like this.

 

For Kata

 

1. Enter the ring facing the judees. Bow before comming in. Not from the side.

 

2. Run up in front of them say your name, school and kata. Bow then backwards run to your starting point. Wait for a nod or ready sign.

 

3. Bow and begin your kata.

 

4. When done wait till the judges score, then bow step out of the ring backwards just as you came in and bow once more. Then return to your seat.

 

For Sparring

 

1. Bow before comming into the ring

 

2. The ref will usually take over from there telling you to bow to the opponent or him or whatever.

 

3. After the match walk out of the wring backwards and bow as you leave.

 

Basically treat entering the ring like entering the dojo.

The important thing to remember in kumite, is that the best man doesn't always win. It is just a game. You have to convince the judges that you deserve the point. In order to do that, you need to make sure that they can see what you have done. Try not to have your back to the center ref. Don't call your own points. And that means keep sparring until the ref stops you. I've lost tournaments because I thought I had the point, stopped attacking, got tagged and didn't get the point. When the judge says stop, do so immediately and go back to your starting position.

Correct procedure varies depending on what organization you belong to.

 

Your coach should be able to make it much clearer for you.
