What is a Kansa?
In WUKF (World Union of Karate-Do Federations) karate competitions, a “Kansa” referee is a technical referee responsible for timing the match and verifying information for the central referee. They also play a crucial role in ensuring that the competition is fair and accurate, in accordance with WUKF rules.
