FORKI Bone Karate Athlete Simulation: A Cost-Efficiency Strategy for the Training Center in Preparation for the 2026 South Sulawesi Provincial Sports Week

The South Sulawesi Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) karate competition is planned for 2026, while most FORKI Bone Regency athletes reside outside Watampone, with many studying or working in Makassar. As a result, the centralised training (training center) faces constraints related to distance, time, and cost. To date, financial support from KONI and FORKI has not yet materialized, making it necessary to develop a preparation model that is both efficient and measurable. This community service program aims to map the existing conditions of athletes by class (kumite and kata) as a basis for designing an independent training plan directed by FORKI Bone’s Performance Division (Binpres) and the respective kumite or kata specialist coaches. The method employed is a structured match simulation used as an alternative to a full training center, consisting of: (1) needs assessment and athlete classification by class or weight; (2) technical–tactical briefing; (3) tiered match simulations (situation drills, sparring, and full-match simulations with referee roles); (4) measurement of key indicators (kumite or kata technical–tactical rubric, penalty scores, attack effectiveness, kiai or rhythm consistency, and functional physical components); and (5) individualized feedback and a microcycle-based independent training plan. The program is implemented through collaboration between the Sports Science Student Association under the BEM of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Universitas Cahaya Prima and FORKI Bone Regency, with supervision from lecturers and the head of the Sports Science Study Program. The expected outcomes include: (a) baseline performance profiles of each athlete by class; (b) a map of technical and tactical needs; (c) a package of independent training recommendations and a monitoring schedule; and (d) cost efficiency in preparation by substituting a portion of the training center activities with structured simulations. Program sustainability is planned through periodic simulations and performance monitoring leading up to Porprov 2026, integrated into FORKI Bone’s Binpres agenda and student development through service-learning.
