Kata and kumite recognized distinctly
Karate competes in two distinct disciplines: kata (forms) and kumite (sparring). Kelenz recognizes both as specialties.

Kelenz for Karate
Kata + kumite: two disciplines, one unified profile.
« Karate left the Olympic spotlight after Tokyo 2020 — but the FFK base remains and deserves its tools. »
01What changes
Why Kelenz for karate
5 official stats configured
Combats, wins, losses, ippons, medals: the standard grid is handled natively.
From municipal dojo to championships
Every karateka and sensei gets an indexed public page — senior, U19 junior, veterans, women's. Achievements and results season by season, no gaps (FFK competitions, grade tests).
No Olympic stand, but senseis still find you
Karate was dropped from the Olympics after Tokyo 2020 and wasn't in Paris 2024. The FFK base stays — and a sensei building a kumite team for the league championships, a regional selector or a dojo short of a kata competitor reads your profile and sends you a connection request.
02By profile
What Kelenz changes for each profile
From the U19 brown belt competitor to the head sensei of an FFK dojo — here's what Kelenz delivers for karate.
- Athlete
Karatekas: kata, kumite, your identity
U17, U19, senior or veterans? Build a profile with specialties, ranks, career and medals.
- 2 specialties: Kata, Kumite — multi-specialty welcomed.
- Official stats: combats, wins, losses, ippons, medals.
- Looking for a dojo: flag availability and become discoverable to local FFK senseis and dojos.
- Coach
Sensei: head and assistant
Document every season, every dojo, every achievement.
- Sensei career: dojos coached per season, achievements (FFK titles, national-team call-ups).
- Achievements: titles, podiums and standout results from your career.
- Connections: an indexed sensei profile that local karatekas and dojos can find — a U19 kumite competitor looking for a dojo sends you a connection request and the conversation starts in messages.
