Each pool consisted of five athletes, with those positioned 1st and 4th seeded to Pool A, and those positioned 2nd and 3rd to Pool B. The athlete that finished first in Pool A faced the athlete that finished second in Pool B in the semifinals, and vice versa. There were no bronze medal matches in the kumite events. Losers of the semifinals each received a bronze medal.[2]

However, the inclusion of an   EOR athlete led to this particular event having 11 competitors. As a result, Pool B had six competitors and 15 bouts in total.
