I am Anta Badulescu. I created The Karate Lab as a performance method—designed to consistently raise athletes to the technical and competitive standards required at the highest levels of WKF competition. With over 30 years of coaching experience, I work with world-class kata athletes, including WKF World Champions, No.1-ranked competitors, and Premier League athletes operating within the international elite pathway.

My approach is built on coaching science, structured observation, and systematic gap analysis. Every athlete is evaluated through precise technical, kinetic, and performance lenses to identify limiting factors and define clear progression priorities. I apply an implementation-driven process that translates analysis directly into training decisions, competitive strategy, and long-term development planning.

The Karate Lab is a permanently evolving method. It adapts across WKF age categories, competitive cycles, and performance demands, while maintaining unwavering alignment with world-level standards. The objective is not isolated success, but the consistent creation of champions through structured implementation, continuous monitoring, and refinement of performance over time.
