I wouldn't. Like many other sports, bboying (which I use because it a dumb AF moniker) is totally subjective for scoring, and as someone who has done a LOT of karate, gymnastics, and ballroom dance, it seems like all of those should have been included first.

It's not totally subjective, because they define a way to measure an athletes performance objectively. It's also a bit ironic because gymnastics could also be quite subjective too. Ultimately the judges and the athletes are aware of how everything is being scored, and the athletes plan their routines around how highly they can score on this rubric.

Why?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

First because they are older sports. Maybe that is the problem though because karate and ballroom both have 2+ established, competing governing bodies.

Second because at least for sparring, karate is formulaic: put fist or foot here, score point.
