EUSA Year Magazine 2022-2023

One of the disciplines in
competing was Kumite, which is
one of the three main sections
of karate training, along with
kata and kihon. Kumite is the
part of karate in which a person
trains against an adversary and
it is very attractive for watching.

The other discipline, in which
the student athletes were
competing was kata, where the
detailed patterns of movements
are practiced solo and its also
a great spectacle to watch. The
most popular image associated

with kata is that of a karate

practitioner performing a series

of punches and kicks in the

air. The kata are executed as a

specified series of approximately

20 to 70 moves, generally with

stepping and turning, while

attempting to maintain perfect

form.

In the kata discipline the

champions in men’s competition

was Gazi University (TUR) and

in kata women’s tournament

College of Physical Education

and Sport Palestra (CZE).

In kumite men’s team

tournament, the gold medal

went to St. Cyril and Methodius

University of Skopje (MKD),

while in kumite women’s team

tournament the winner was

Odesa Mechnikov National

University KW (UKR).

EUSA and the city of Zagreb, are

looking forward to organizing

the next EUSA Karate event

as part of the European

Universities Championships in
