This study aimed to measure and compare the execution time of both traditional and sportive Mawashi-Geri roundhouse kick execution styles in Shotokan Karate athletes. Sixteen Shotokan Karate athletes (27.18±9.41 years old, 15.19±6.87 years of experience) participated in a study comparing the execution time of traditional and sportive Mawashi-Geri roundhouse kicks. Each athlete performed six kicks (three traditional, three sportive) in random order on a fixed Body Opponent Bag (BOB) at waist level after a standardized warm-up. Kicks were filmed using a Casio™ EX-ZR100 (1920x1080, 30fps), and execution time was analyzed with Kinovea 0.8.15. The results showed that the sportive Mawashi-Geri had a significantly faster execution time (0.260±0.040s) compared to the traditional style (0.321±0.110s, p=0.016). The findings suggest that the sportive style is more effective for Kumite (sparring) competitions due to its speed, while the traditional style may be better suited for Kihon (technical) practices and Kata (form) competitions.
