In this article, the most important aspects of team coverage of Karate athletes with special focus on medical care of competitions are highlighted. A proposition of what a doctor’s case for martial arts competition should contain is given. According to the Swiss accident insurances, extremities are most frequently seen. During competitions, in our own series, over 70% of injuries are mild and do not need further treatment.
