About
Yabinya Karate Pro by Yabinya Studio is a comprehensive Windows desktop application purpose-built for karate competition management. It supports the full tournament lifecycle — from event setup and athlete registration to bracket drawing, match scheduling, real-time scoring, and results export — all within a single, stable platform. The software is fully compliant with WKF (World Karate Federation) 2026 rules, covering both Kumite (combat) and Kata (form) disciplines. The Kata module supports electronic judging aligned with international standards, including automatic score calculation, validation, and instant result confirmation. A traditional flag-based Kata judging option is also available for events with alternative regulations. For Kumite, the system provides a high-precision scoring interface designed for the fast-paced nature of competitive matches. The auto-bracket engine supports multiple elimination formats with seeding, ensuring fair and structured competition across all tatami. Event managers benefit from a centralized control dashboard that provides a real-time overview of match progress, tatami assignments, and athlete flow. A live public display module (via WebSocket) broadcasts scores and results to screens visible to athletes, coaches, and spectators. Yabinya Karate Pro is ideal for national and regional karate federations, dojo organizers, and open tournament hosts who need professional-grade tools without unnecessary complexity. It runs on Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and requires minimal hardware. Annual licenses are available to suit events of varying scale.
