Since there are lots of styles and systems that teach form, and not everyone knows the forms that are being performed. Then to be fair to the competitor it is the duty of the judges, Hopefully, certified ones, that they grade the forms on the following criteria.
1. Stance
2. Balance
3. Focus on the techniques
4. Power Generation
5. Movement
6. execution of the technique
7. Eye contact
8. Overall presentation.
1. Stance. That the competitor uses good stance that are very distinctive to the eye. Flexibility is relevent to the person performing the Kata/form. Lower Stance are better for competition, however there are systems that the stance are not so low, have to balance that with the performance.
2. Balance. Key point does the competitor look centered of off balance when performing the techniques.
3. Does the competitor focus on the techniques as to the target location for punches, kicks etc.
4. Power Generation. Karate and Kung Fu Systems have different power generation movements. sometimes this can be hard to judge depending on the movement itselft. However, the rule of thumb should be does the punch or kick look as though it was do damage.
5. Movement. Does the competitor move or transission from one movement to the other in a logical and smooth movement, stepping, jumping etc. Some masters would like to see the Kata done on a plane. Or all at one level.
6.Execution of the technique. Very difficult to judge sometimes and it is did the side kick look like a side kick, does the punch look like a punch one might learn in that school etc...
7. Eye contact: Very important, is the competitor always looking at the ground when executing the technique. Does it look like the competitor is focused on the target area.
8. Overall Presentation: Probably the most important factor. Does it look practical does the competitor look good, sound good, perform well. This has a lot to do with the winning attitude.
