Karate Contest Home Edition was born with many goals: raise funds for
Protezione Civile Italiana (“Emergenza Coronavirus”)
and/or for
Protezione Civile Italiana (“Emergenza Coronavirus”)
and/or for
World Health Organization,
keep alive the Karate habit in Athletes of all ages, maintain the links between Athletes and Technicians within the Sports Club and create a moment to break the forced home routine.
To fully enjoy the benefits offered by this type of competition, both psychological and social, we recommended to all Athletes and the families involved, not to make the video immediately, but to perform some tests, film them and view the recordings, in order to find the best motor solution to optimize the available workspace.
In this way the Parent can intervene and participate in the child's activity by sharing a "work" moment with him; the Adult Athlete can have a moment of self-evaluation, if not actually introspection.
