All the ten final competitions of individual and team matches in Karate World Championship 2016 have been downloaded in HD quality. By the help of Kinovea video analysis software and Excel Microsoft Office 2013 the data of the matches has been recorded. The data collected provided information on the most predominant scoring technique and also point losing KPIs which can discriminates winners from losers. A total number of 345 scores and 222 point losing KPIs in the final competitions has been analyzed. The most frequently used technique was "Oi-Zuki", which was totally 90 out of 345, and the most point losing KPI occurred when "Point Loser starts an attack" with 25 out of 222. As it is clear, there is a big shift from Gyaku-Zuki to Oi-Zuki and Kizami-Zuki in recent Karate World Championships which shows the increase in action and reaction speed among Karate fighters; for example, Kizami-Zuki travels a short distance to hit the target and it is used as a quick and sharp punch to keep someone from coming close to you. Furthermore, selection of wrong technique which is the third top among point losing KPIs is another clear evidence of speed increase in today's Karate competitions.
