Malaysia Open Virtual Karate-do Kata Competition 2027 — USD 100 Tier
Every kata event is divided into Male, Female or Mix (Male & Female) sub-categories, then Color/Kyu Belt and Black Belt & Dan Holders sub-sub-categories, each with age groups 4–14, 15–40, 41–65 and 66–99. Your sub-category is assigned automatically when you register. The same kata list applies to every registration tier. Male and Female sub-categories are listed for the initial registration stage — once the registration deadline is reached, any Male or Female sub-category with fewer than 200 participants is merged into a Mix (Male & Female) category. Each age group with fewer than 200 participants will also merge with a neighboring age group — whichever of the lower or upper group has fewer participants — and if needed, both the lower and upper groups may merge together, to keep within the available budget.

Malaysia Open Virtual Karate-do Kobudo Kata Competition 2027 — USD 200 Tier
Every kata event is divided into Male, Female or Mix (Male & Female) sub-categories, then Color/Kyu Belt and Black Belt & Dan Holders sub-sub-categories, each with age groups 4–14, 15–40, 41–65 and 66–99. Your sub-category is assigned automatically when you register. The same kata list applies to every registration tier. Male and Female sub-categories are listed for the initial registration stage — once the registration deadline is reached, any Male or Female sub-category with fewer than 200 participants is merged into a Mix (Male & Female) category. Each age group with fewer than 200 participants will also merge with a neighboring age group — whichever of the lower or upper group has fewer participants — and if needed, both the lower and upper groups may merge together, to keep within the available budget.
