Some it may be fine.... others the judges are looking for good technique of your style. You are scored even without making contact if the techinque is good. Using different styles wouldn't do you any favours really. But..... this is all useless information really.... as it totally depends on the the competition itself. Even if you know this, I don't see how it would help you make a good impression when joining the club. They would still go over it all with you anyway way before you needed to know. 7. Can you buy training equipment in the Dojo? (A) If they sell equipment in the dojo, you can buy it. If they don't sell equipment in the dojo, you cannot. 8. How much do the average Karate lessons cost per month? (A & E) Fair enough question. However, it really does vary hugely and would be much easier to ask them. You could also look on the web at some other clubs prices anywhere near you location to get an idea. Then, when you find out the actual prices, you will know if it is a reasonable price and in line with other dojo's near you. Or if they are ripping you off. 9.
