Tournaments are viewed as the fun part of our karate i.e. we do the hard and serious work at training in the dojo and go to tournaments to do our best, have fun and meet fellow karate-ka. Bad sportsmanship, gamesmanship or any other poor etiquette is not tolerated at any time, we have a simple rule - 'Go to your line and keep quiet!'
