Aye,
It does look as though this is a fully automatic camera with no manual override of the settings possible. You will have to practice to get the results you are after. As Tony suggests, going to the park is going to be a useful learning exercise. You could also try taking some pictures at the local karate club before the competition, this will give you some experience in how much delay there is between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the picture. Having learned about this delay, you will be able to compensate and get pictures of the action as it happens rather than just after it has happened.
It will take a lot of practice to get the pictures you are after, and you will have lots of pictures where they are not as you had hoped, but it's all useful experience that will serve you well.
Good luck.
Duncan
