Abstract

This study aimed to identify the most dominant kicking technique used to obtain points in kumite karate matches. A descriptive research method was employed in this study. The population consisted of 44 athletes who competed in the kumite category at the XV South Sumatra Provincial Sports Week (PORPROV) in 2025. Using a total sampling technique, all athletes participating in the kumite competition were included as the research sample. Data were collected through direct observation using official match score sheets as the research instrument. The analysis results indicated that the Mawashi-Geri kick was the most dominant technique in point acquisition during the competition. This finding suggests that Mawashi-Geri was the most effective and frequently applied kicking technique in generating points in kumite matches at the event. Therefore, mastering and optimizing the execution of Mawashi-Geri may significantly enhance competitive performance in kumite karate.
