What Are You Fighting For?

Welcome to the future of sport karate. We have eliminated traditional point sparring and kata to bring you a fighting-only league designed for maximum sparring/ring time, total judging transparency, and college scholarship money paid out the day of the tournament.

RULES AT A GLANCE: THE KICK 4 COLLEGE DIFFERENCE

The Format: Continuous Point Sparring

Non-Stop Action

No more resetting after every single point. The clock runs continuously for 2-minute rounds.

Controlled Contact

This is a light-to-medium controlled sport karate competition. Safety gear is mandatory, and excessive force or intent to injure results in immediate disqualification.

10-9 Scoring System

Three ringside judges score each round as a whole based on meeting the 15 kick count minimum per 2 minute round, continuous aggression, effective striking, and dominant ring control.

The 15-Kick Rule

To keep our roots in true sport karate, every fighter must execute a minimum of 15 kicks per round thrown with clear intent and full extension.

Kick 4 College flips the script

Traditional tournament circuits are exceptional for building discipline, earning rank, and tracking competitive state points. However, the financial return for families has historically been limited to a standard plastic medal at the podium.
