Karate Combat
full contact karate league
Karate Combat (KC) is a brand which promotes the first professional full-contact karate league, hosting worldwide events since April 2018. The private company is headquartered in Dubai and was founded by Robert Bryan. Karate Combat is owned by the Sensei Foundation, a Cayman Islands Foundation Company and its affiliates. The brand also encompasses sports equipment, a worldwide Dojo network and mobile apps for viewers. Karate Combat was founded in order to promote karate as a sport and martial art to the new generation of sports fans.
Contestants compete in a seasonal championship in which the winner is awarded a golden belt. They consist of karateka from various styles of karate like Kyokushinkai, Shotokan, Shitō-ryū, and Wadō-ryū. Contestants from other martial arts disciplines like Kenpō, Taekwondo, and Tang Soo Do have also participated. The contestants are expected to abide by karate-do etiquette and specific tournament rules.
The organization puts emphasis on innovation and technology with the use of video game-style analytics of fighter's biometrics, nutrition and DNA-based data in real-time.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
